User talk:AIM-Assyria

This account, , has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username does 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&mdash;see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, misleading, or related to a 'real-world' group or organization. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
 * Add  This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can usually still edit your own talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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 more easily 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 Changing username.
 * Alternatively, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier, especially if you have few or no edits.

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  or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

As a new contributor to Wikipedia, my first impression of this system has been a very negative experience. According to these guidelines, AIM-Assyria is not allowed, yet King of Heart and many similar others are allowed to keep a system administrator such as myself blocked in a virtual prison within this system. It's bad enough that new members creating new usernames have a daunting task of finding a suitable name which is also available on the system. After one hour, AIM-Assyria was selected. Yes, that's my personal account and personal preference for a username (group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited). Additionally, as an administrator of AIM, I have the freedom to add, change, and delete information. Likewise, administrators here have that same privilege. It's sad to imagine that other highly skillful people have been subjected to these unnecessary administrative circles. How are the administrators going to resolve this dilemma? Will you force me to choose another username? What if someone else decides they don't like that new choice thereafter? Why don't the administrators take that freedom of choice away and select or generate a username that is comfortable for them, it would save all this wasted energy. --AIM-Assyria


 * Actually, since one of the core principles of Wikipedia is the neutral point of view in our article writing, and maintaining such neutrality is impossible if you have a conflict of interest with the subject of the article, then it becomes obvious why we do not allow people to edit articles about subjects where such a conflict exists. The goal of Wikipedia is to be a neutral encyclopedia; the goal of the member of an organization is to promote that organization.  Those goals do not meet up in a way that benefits Wikipedia.  There is nothing wrong with you creating a new account, and avoiding editing articles about organizations you have a vested interest in.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  12:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Everyone at Wikipedia, from the founder to you and I, have vested interests (a personal reason for wanting something to happen). I did not register to add to subjects which do not interest me, nor subjects which I do not have knowledge of. I registered in a sincere gesture to add relevant information to an existing article which I have expertise and knowledge of. I added information into that article so that the Wikipedia community has a better understanding of that specific subject, in particular that author. The article information nurtures the core philosophy of Wikipedia and if I would have "avoided editing articles", then that would impede Wikipedia's knowledge and growth because most of that page would not appear as it does currently. In essence, my additions have promoted better understanding of the subject for the reader, which is one of Wikipedia's core values. Now, when are the administrators going to allow this username to be changed to something they are comfortable with? --AIM-Assyria (talk) 19:52, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * What name do you intend to change to? (I'll check back later this evening, but more admins are likely to pick it up if you use the template as described at the top of the page.) —C.Fred (talk) 20:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

The new username will be bland, anonymous, and robotic, in harmony with Wikipedia's guidelines. --AIM-Assyria (talk) 20:10, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
