Goforth studios

Blocked

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Request reason:

My username does not represent a company, group, organization, product, or website. It is just a username I came up with a few years ago for YouTube, and I've used it for various accounts over the years, including my Instagram and Twitter accounts. Goforth studios (talk) 17:45, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

A Google search comes up with https://lessons.com/ga/marietta/piano-lessons/goforth-studios and https://www.facebook.com/goforthstudios/ . Obviously we have no way of knowing which, if either, you are associated with. Consequently, I see no alternative but for you to select a new username. Just Chilling (talk) 03:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

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.

I created this account, all is good.... I think

I'm the artist formerly known as Goforth studios. I was told I could create another account, so please don't try to block me for sockpuppeting --RIP Previous Account, You Will Be Missed (talk) 04:21, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

There are circumstances where creating a new account is permissible - see WP:Clean start - but I am not convinced that you have made a case. Consequently, I have blocked your new account. The correct way forward is to propose a new user name here (that for technical reasons needs to be materially different from the two accounts you have created) and I will move this account to the new username. You should do this while logged in as Goforth studios. If you wish to make a clean start case then that should also be done here while logged in as Goforth studios.

Just Chilling, huh? I looked into this block yesterday and could not find any indication that there is an entity named "Goforth studios"; thus there's no shared use, and I was tempted to just unblock with a request to add a comment to the userpage clarifying that it's a single person. That said, I see nothing at all that would make the new account, User:RIP Previous Account, You Will Be Missed, blockable. It's not sockpuppetry (though linking the two accounts on the new one's user page would be a good idea), it's not a username violation, and not going through a global rename is not a blockable offence, the last time I checked - it's clearly not an attempt at evading scrutiny. Would you object to an unblock for User:RIP Previous Account, You Will Be Missed? Or can you explain why, exactly, that account needs to be blocked? Huon (talk) 21:32, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
