A suggestion[edit]

I noticed that you created eight articles on regional roads in the Niagara Region, but they need more than an infobox and a navbox. Without additional content, the articles could all be redirected to List of numbered roads in Niagara Region since that list has the same amount of content. Please add some content, or the articles you created could be deleted under one of the Criteria for Speedy Deletion. Imzadi 1979 → 17:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Niagara Regional Roads[edit]

Please note that it is not acceptable to create an article that consists only of an infobox and a footer template; if you want the roads to have an article, then you have to write actual articles. Furthermore, regional roads are not necessarily notable enough to have their own separate articles on Wikipedia — while it's certainly possible that some will meet our notability rules, you have to actually demonstrate that they meet our notability rules by writing content that explains why the road is notable, because they're not entitled to articles just because they exist.

In the time since you received the above notices, you have proceeded to create three more articles that do not meet the minimum requirements. Please stop, and read what others have written, and at least engage in a conversation before continuing along these lines. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:30, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet

You have been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not.

If you are not a sock puppet, and would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 14:32, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
