User talk:Mortoray

September 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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.

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 ~~~~}} below this notice.

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 ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Request reason:

I was not given a reason for the block. I modified one page, to add a minor addition, and then mentioned in the talk page that I didn't add a reference since it would be a conflict of interest. I put the reference there: if this is the reason, then I had no idea that COI applies to Talk pages as well.

Decline reason:

New username needed, but promotional editing is not a concern. Yunshui ^雲 _水 14:58, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Block has now been downgraded (thanks Alexf!) - please read the new (blue) notice at the top of the page before posting a new unblock request. I'm closing the request above pending resolution of the username issue. Yunshui ^雲 _水 14:58, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My real name is "Edaqa Mortoray". There is of course a mortoray.com, that's my blog, written under my name as well. I'd prefer to use my real name if possible. While it may look "promotional" at first glance I believe it complies with the username policy. Mortoray (talk) 15:17, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

The only reason you were noticed after all these years is that you tried to link to your personal website a single time, albeit only on the talk page. I think you can refrain from doing that in the future, since you now know the ramifications. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:34, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
