Blocked IP address
My IP address is apparently blocked, presumably because of the following:, 		‪

Glen‬ left a message on your talk page in "‪August 2020‬". Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or web...

However, I legitimately have used “WHRecorfs” as a handle on various platforms for many years, so this was not intended to be duplicitous.

Because I am blocked I can’t even create a new user name.

Please unblock me.

 * You are blocked for a promotional username and promotional edits. Despite the fact you have used this handle on social media networks Wikipedia is not a social media platform. Can you please indicate what type of edits you intend to make? The easiest way to do this is to follow the unblock instructions on your page at User talk:WHRecords. Either myself or another administrator will happily unblock you if we can see that you intend to edit constructively and not simply to promote or write about your business. Thanks.

Glen - as noted in my response regarding speedy deletion, thus page is not unambiguously promotional, because despite that insinuation, there is in fact nothing to advertise. The record label is dormant. However, the label is historically significant as early adopters of several innovations as noted, and generally as the one significant record label born from a music venue, in this case a venue that started in the year 1886. Webster Hall Records was a trailblazer in electronic dance music, and helped foster its mainstream acceptance_. The sources cited include such venerable industry publications as Billboard and Pollstar. In this respect, this page is no less valid than the Wikipedia pages on Webster Hall itself or record labels like Strictly Rhythm. We respectfully request that you re-examine. --74.101.187.181 (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll keep this really simple although you didn't answer any of the questions about how you intend to edit outside your clear conflict of interest. Your username was in breach of our username policy as it was a company username. As stated above please simply follow the unblock instructions on your talk page or create a new account per the link in my previous message. Please respond at User_talk:WHRecords moving forward and follow the instructions outlined. I will respond there. Thanks. Glen 13:45, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
