User talk:Kry0313

Welcome!

Hello, FriendlyPlanter, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:FriendlyPlanter, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:FriendlyPlanter

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:FriendlyPlanter, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

June 2023

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.

What is your connection to the FriendlyPlanter website? 331dot (talk) 07:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Owner. I was not aware of the policy as it regards to usernames and businesses. I like the name so I thought it would make a cool username. Sorry for the mistake. FriendlyPlanter (talk) 12:00, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you refrain from editing about or linking to your website, and based your edits on reliable sources? Do you also understand that Wikipedia is not a how to guide, but an encyclopedia? 331dot (talk) 15:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that. I was putting observable information obtained through experience, paraphrased from my site. Is there a better way to cite or write such information. The growing stages of particular plants is something a lot of beginner gardeners want to know but the information is not on a lot of wiki pages for most plants. Is a wiki page for say watermelon not the appropriate place to find information on the growing stages of watermelon? FriendlyPlanter (talk) 16:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the sort of information that's for more suitable for how-to guides like your website than for an encyclopedia. But the only things that got you blocked were pointing to your own website as a source and the username issue; the question itself on the talk page is a perfectly good suggestion, and this unblock request showed up for me as I was eating a lovely bowl of watermelon! --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 23:11, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
