Thanks, though I'm not new to Wikipedia, I was active in the German Wikipedia a few years ago :) --Pc-world (talk) 22:39, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Username policy

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Pc-world", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is possibly associated with PC World. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Auric talk 23:57, 8 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

My username is in no way associated with any products or companies that might or might not be named similarly; the username was chosen without any awareness of possible confusion or knowledge of existence of similarly named products or companies or other associations. I hereby explicitly distance myself from any such interpretations of my username and assure that I am in no way connected to products or companies as mentioned by the preceding comment made by the English Wikipedia user "Auric". Any such interpretations are result of intentional or accidental influence such as made by advertisement campaigns of third party companies or individuals or other groups whose actions are condemned by this particular user of the English Wikipedia. --pcworld (talk) 00:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for clearing that up.--Auric talk 00:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome.

Well, you're only the second person to ever thank me for doing anything on Wikipedia, and the first to thank me for editing ordinary page content. I'm always happy to help if I can, so thank you for the note of thanks. Though I must say, it seems pretty random, and I have no idea why you're thanking me. I was fairly proud of finally converting Chrome's Release History to a sharable, floating template - I thought that was a pretty big deal - but apparently you have a thing for properly-written sections on Chrome for iOS? :-D

Or was it something else?

Some random crap by a so-called "administrator"

edit
 
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Pc-world, 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) and continue editing.

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 and create the account yourself. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. 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. Alexf(talk) 17:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
WHAT THE FUCK. I guess I made my point clear here. Really, what the fuck. Surely I will continue to contribute to this project with mindless "administrators", where pages that are clearly original research, advertisements and do not meet the "required" quality criteria are not deleted because some people think they might be "useful", and users are blocked for arbitrary reasons. The English-language Wikipedia is so fucked up! --pcworld (talk) 19:35, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
