User talk:BootlegPotato

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you.


 * I'm not sure why the template wasn't left for you - but I'll place it above your unblock for you. My best guess is that Edgar felt you had some sort of connection to this website: https://www.bootlegpotato.com. SQL Query me!  20:28, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. The gave the impression that because the username didn't include .com and I had no history of misbehavior that block wasn't necessary. Taking into account  Edgar181 admitted rule breaking misbehavior I though it was worth asking. But if after a review it is still seen as a clean case of username and domain name matching then I'll take that judgment. Thank you --jpgordon and  SQL  for reviewing.

 * Edgar181 acted properly here. We're really strict about the username thing in this regard; I'm not sure I agree with the policy, but oh well. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 22:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, looking at the now-deleted userpage, I can 100% understand why that your username is considered to be promotional. I probably woulda made the same block. SQL Query me!  22:54, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
