Speedy deletion of Redecision Therapy

A tag has been placed on Redecision Therapy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Modern Whig Party

A tag has been placed on Modern Whig Party, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

JamesClifton (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

What did I do wrong? How is adding legitimate links vandalism?

Decline reason:

You were given numerous warnings, and chose to ignore them. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:55, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

At the risk of being banned again, I want some clarification, please. Other than a few juvenile intentional vandalisms on a couple pages, what did I do that was wrong. I don't understand how adding a link to the Modern Whig Party on the Whig Party site is vandalism. The Modern Whig Party is a legitimate party that has more members than a number of parties that has Wikipedia entries.

I don't understand how adding a link to two therapeutic modalities on the List of Psychotherapies Wikipedia pages is vandalism. This page contains numerous psychotherapy modalities that have no web sites or have been very, very controversial.

I am not being difficult. I just don't understand this whole process. Again, I am just trying to figure this out and I do humbly apologize for the intentional vandalisms. I am sorry.

Thank you,

James W. Clifton

Request reason:

I did nothing wrong after the final warning. I simply added some legitimate external links to some Wikipedia entries. Thanks, James W. Clifton

Decline reason:

I would believe you except for this, pretty clearly at odds with WP:EL — Daniel Case (talk) 04:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing has been causing problems. When your block expires, I suggest you seek mentorship through WP:ADOPT. Good intentions are not a substitute for knowing how things work here. — Jehochman ^Talk 04:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I am struggling trying to figure all this out. My submission, https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/American_Free_Soil_Party, was declined. I don't quite understand why. We are a brand new Party and there are no references yet. This is a Party I created. Please help me understand how our submission is any different from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Veterans_Party_of_America

Thank you very much,

If it's something you just created, it's not allowed to have an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NOTMADEUP. Please don't submit it anymore; it will just waste both your time and that of our reviewers. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
