Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Jay Turner". The reason given for Jay Turner's block is: "pointy vandalism".


Decline reason: I'm sorry, we already know that Jay Turner uses at least one other sockpuppet account and I see you have made no contributions to Wikipedia with this account. As we have no way of validating that you are not another sock, I cannot lift the autoblock at this time. — Yamla (talk) 18:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am Jay Turner's brother, this is my band account. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 18:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Actually, the account name is in violation of WP:USERNAME as well, as it is a promotional name. I'm going to go and block this account under those grounds. --Yamla (talk) 19:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I know the rules well, I did not put this on a a promotion of my band. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
This is not a sockpuppet, I am his brother. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
But given that you have not contributed to any articles, we have no way of knowing that. You are free to email unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org from an email address issued by your ISP, requesting that this autoblock and/or direct block be lifted. Note, though, that the account name is in violation of username policy, as outlined below. --Yamla (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Genuine band

edit

This is a genuine band. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, and that's why this is an inappropriate username. --Yamla (talk) 19:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
It is under a publisher guy, so that it's classified to have an arcticle. So can I write a mainspace arcticle about it? I'll try to put no biasism, but I will need my accound unblocked, or alternitivly you can write the page. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
No. See WP:BFAQ, WP:COI, and WP:AUTO. Also, WP:NOTE. --Yamla (talk) 19:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
It won't be advertising, as It wont be bias.

It is difficult to write neutrally and objectively about oneself (see above about unconscious biases). You should generally let others do the writing.

Blocked

edit
 
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am not advertising my band, becouse it is not found near words like Click here, blah, blah, blah, It's just my Username I use for all my sites, coincidentally also the name of my band. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:


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.

Note that not only is this username the name of the band (thus in violation of our username policy) but this user's signature includes a link to the band site. --Yamla (talk) 19:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK, I will remove that link. Then can I be unblocked? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Removed. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Your username is still inappropriate. Have you read our policy on usernames? --Yamla (talk) 19:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I have, and I don't see how its inappropriate becouse it's not advertising it. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
The username is clearly promotional. You have expressed a desire to write an article on your band. Until it was pointed out to you, every time you signed your name, you linked to your band's website. The very name is identical to that of your band and your use of it serves to promote your band. Another admin will be by in a while to review your block but I'd be really stunned if it was lifted. --Yamla (talk) 19:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
If I change it to SP (talk · contribs) with no links to the band, Can it stay on? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes. Though you'll have to wait out the autoblock. No reason to request a name change, you have no contributions in article space so it will be faster to remove your outstanding unblock requests and just create a new account tomorrow. --Yamla (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

No contributions here to preserve. Please just create a new account when you can. Mangojuicetalk 21:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please include a decline or accept reason.
Can Jay be given a fresh start? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Jay's block expires tomorrow, I believe. --Yamla (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Nope 00:06 14th February. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Can you do the request on behalf of me? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
No need, you can just create an account tomorrow, once the autoblock expires. --Yamla (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Is the autoblock applied to users who use this IP or this IP and teh users who are logged in while its on? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Per Yamla, just create an account when the autoblock expires. It should expire about 24 hours after the last time that Jay uses that IP address. Mangojuicetalk 21:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
While I have your attention. Jay wanted to nominate 2 users for AfD but he's blocked.
Can you do it? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'll look into it, but we don't delete users we delete pages. Mangojuicetalk 21:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I see nothing at all wrong with either of those user pages, so I won't be doing anything. Mangojuicetalk 21:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
