Hi, the page about Rob Cornilles is ready to be live but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I found the move button and changed the name but there is no indication that it was also made live. How do I go about doing this? AMitton1221 (talk) 22:24, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You make it live by moving it - not to User:AMitton1221/anything but just to Rob Cornilles. However, it is not ready to be live, because you still have almost no references to independent sources. --ColinFine (talk) 22:34, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, what makes a source independent or not? I cited nearly everything in the document either from news reports or press releases, all of which are factual. AMitton1221 (talk) 22:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

News reports are (usually) independent. Press releases are almost by definition not independent. I haven't followed any of your references, but nearly all of them are to either http://cornillesforcongress.com or to http://www.gamefacesportsjobs.com, neither of which would appear to be independent. You need to find references in independent published sources: see WP:RS. In particular, you need to find some that establish that he is notable by Wikipedia's standard for people, or the article will certainly get deleted when you publish it. --ColinFine (talk) 23:28, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, AMitton1221, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 23:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
