Request reason:
r12a is my standard nickname/login, and the top 3 results on a Google search for 'r12a' point to sites connected with myself. See https://r12a.github.io/. It represents the R+12_letters+A that make up my real name, in the same way as i18n represents I+nternationalisatio+n (which is my specialisation). I'm not aware that it has been used for an organisation, although it does also appear to be used for a product name). R12a (talk) 06:52, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I think this username is okay, so I will remove the block; R12a, please follow Galobtter's advice below and refrain from adding links to your website directly. 331dot (talk) 08:33, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Galobtter: When I search for this username, results related to a refrigerant substance come up. Is that the reason for the block? 331dot (talk) 07:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- 331dot I blocked because they added a link to r12a.github.io so I took their username as promoting their own website. Per the above unblock request, the username seems fine as representing themselves personally (use as a name of refrigerant being incidental), so feel free to unblock.
- Quick note to R12a that they should not really be adding links to their own website per WP:EL#ADV, but rather should request on the talk page that someone else add it. Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
