Hello. I deleted an article you created, Plastic brick, because it qualified for deletion under G11 of the speedy deletion criteria; in other words, it constituted nothing more than "blatant advertising." All articles on Wikipedia must adhere to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, and present subjects from an unbiased viewpoint. As such, don't feel discouraged, and try to recreate the article in light of this policy. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 03:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to send me a message in the future, please do so at my talk page per John below. In any case, please realize that the deletion of the article has nothing to do with you personally or the subject of the page. The article was deleted because the article was written in such a manner that qualified as "blatant advertising," and as such, made it liable for deletion. I directed you to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view in order to illustrate for you that such advertising language cannot be included in Wikipedia. If you rewrite the article using neutral language, then it will have a better chance of being retained. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 03:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please use my talk page at User talk:Sephiroth BCR to give me messages; creating new pages for that purpose is not the proper way to go about that, and I am informed whenever someone posts on my talk page, which is more conducive towards communication. In any case, having your edits reverted, while unfortunate in some cases, is part of the editing process here. It occurs whenever another editor has a disagreement with your edits. After this occurs, discussion is the mandated method to resolving such a thing. As such, don't be discouraged by any reverts that occur. Many of your more recent edits are a bit troubling, notably this edit. I must inform you that Wikipedia is not for advertising of any kind whatsoever. We're all here to create an objective and neutral encyclopedia, not cater to the interests of any specific group.

Also, you have yet to establish the notability of your type of museum. Such notability can be asserted through the showing of verifiable, reliable sources independent of the topic matter. Ergo, if such a source provided critical commentary on your type of museum, then such an article (i.e. the Plastic brick article I deleted) would be valid for inclusion. As such, before attempting to submit your material into the mainspace, you can work on it in your userspace by creating user subpages. This can be done by creating an article at User:Clarity2199/Article name, with "Article name" being replaced by whatever you choose to name your user subpage. Feel free to create the Plastic brick article at your leisure in your userspace. Before you submit your material into the mainspace, however, I would recommend that you consult with me first so I can look at whether the subject of the article sufficiently meets Wikipedia's notability guideline.

I realize this process may be frustrating for you, but I encourage you to continue trying. Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for the editing process are learned over time. On a last note, given how connected you appear to be with the subject of the article (as you own a museum related to the subject), I caution you about Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. If necessary, leaving this job to a third party editor to create the article may be advisable, but continue nevertheless if you see fit. Please note that promotion of any kind is not taken kindly and is not appropriate. Best regards, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 09:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The confusion about the purpose of the Wikipedia goes beyond the categorization issue. You are also attempting to use the article on Museum to publish a redirecting URL to your blog (which in turn contains a reference to "... a cool item now on Wikipedia...The Bellaire Ohio Toy and Plastic Brick Museum!!!", linking back to the museum article). There is a separate article containing a List of museums, leading to further references about the coordinates of individual museums — of which none are contained in the museum article. I agree with Sephiroth BCR's advice about writing an encyclopedic article on plastic brick museums. In the meanwhile, please refrain from using the main museum article for publicizing your own personal initiative (something which Wikipedia policies fundamentally prohibit ). --Futhark|Talk 09:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

• To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
• You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
• Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
• For experiments, please use the sandbox.

what you need to do is click on "converse" beside his user name in the paragraph above: that will take you to his talk page; read what it says at the top, then click on the "+" tab at the top of the page to get a form to enter a message for him. To help you, I will send to him the contents of the page you created by mistake with your question for him, and I expect he will reply to you here.

A tag has been placed on Dan brown bellaire ohio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Harry the Dog WOOF 16:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Regarding Dan brown bellaire ohio, it is generally recommended when writing an article to write the main text first and later add an infobox. Articles can get deleted for not having text; they don't get deleted for not having an infobox. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:58, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Better still, work up the article in your userspace (sandbox) and then create the article when it is ready. Harry the Dog WOOF 17:01, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Unofficial LEGO museum in Bellaire, Ohio.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Lego a Love Story, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ubelowme _U ^Me 17:15, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Unofficial LEGO museum in Bellaire, Ohio.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 18:06, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked Legomine (talk · contribs) and Beastboybrown (talk · contribs) because they appear to be undeclared alternate accounts devoted to promotion of yourself, the museum and the book. Please heed the warnings farther up the page and do not use Wikipedia to promote yourself or your projects. Acroterion (talk) 18:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Legomine was created today due to not being able to find my log-in information from this account. The Beastboybrown account has nothing to do with that. That is my son's account and he tried to help me follow the site rules by creation of my personal profile for links that already exist on this site pointing to another person besides myself. LEGO a Love story is NOT my project. It is a book written by another about LEGO which I love. I am sorry if posting about a subject I love is against some rule here. But I thought it would be a nice addition to the site (since I could not locate it on your site.). So please inform me of how to update the incorrect Dan Brown links without having a Dan Brown Bellaire or other setup. Again, I have a bad link set now on the sites that point to a dead page. I am also working on updates for the other sites (new pics, etc.). It has been a few years since I have updated. Thank you. Dan

Thanks for uploading File:Lego a Love Story.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:48, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
