Hello, I'm 172.58.40.190. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to MC Frontalot have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. 172.58.40.190 (talk) 06:38, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Dear Sir or Madam My name is Damon Anderson, I am happy to provide (offline) any means of identification you would like to verify my identity. I have owned http://www.artpoetryfiction.com since 1995 when I first taught myself basic HTML to promote the shows I was hosting in various venues in Berkeley and Oakland CA from 1991 to 1996. There is no association, or organization affiliated with me. I am a true an bonafide expert in the social events of era and place. In 1991 my girlfriend introduced me to a fellow Berkeley High student, Damian Hess. I hosted Damian, and his friend Dominic Mah, as poets in a multi-media performance for at the Berkeley Square night club performing spoken word. From that first meeting Damian (MC Frontalot) gave me some of his short stories with permission to publish them on the web. Since then they have been hosted on my site without charge (or benefit) for pleasure (and history). I invite you to read them for yourself. I doubt MC Frontalot has read then in 20 years himself.

{{unblock reviewed|reason=Your reason here My name is Damon Anderson. I founded http://www.artpoetryfiction.com in 1995 as a non-profit on-line art gallery that scripted by hand from my first HTML book. As amateurish as it is, it is also a great source of pride. I have continued to host art from around the world on this site, since 1995, and will always continue to do so. For free. I have also been a supporter and contributor to Wikipedia since the very beginning. Non of my other contributions have ever been questioned, and I only contribute to articles where I am certain that I am an expert and am contributing verifiable information. If you have additional means that you require to verify my identity that are secure I am happy and able to provide them. Anyone who visits my website can directly contact me from that website. There is no organization. Only the agrandisement of my own ego. Regarding the second item of advertising or promotion. There are no advertisements or means of profit on my website. I earn nothing. There is no request from MC Frontalot or affiliates to promote these artistics works. |decline=Your identity is not an issue; nor is it of interest. But the name you have chosen for your account is not allowed as it is intrinsically promotional (to your website). Please go to {{tl|unblock-un)) to request a different and non-promotional username. note please that is not open to discussion; please note also that promotion does not have to be allied to profit.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 10:43, 17 June 2017 (UTC) }}

{{unblock reviewed | 1=I have changed my username. Why is my account still blocked? DamonWyle (talk) 12:51, 2 January 2019 (UTC) | decline = "There have been two problems identified with this account:" 1) "the account has been used for advertising or promotion." You must affirm that you will no longer link to the web site you founded. You sound quite proud of the thing. I feel like you are here to promote it. You must also tell us what constructive edits you'd make.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 13:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)}}

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Dear Admin, my pride not with standing, my site is not for personal promotion, generates no income, has no ads, and I am completely anonymous on it. On the other hand it is a library publishing artists work. It is there for any artist to promote their own work as a free public gallery. Is there any conflict with linking an artists article to works they have allowed or requested to be published on this public gallery site? | decline = As your only goal here is to link to that site and as you have a conflict of interest there, you will not be unblocked. Yamla (talk) 13:38, 2 January 2019 (UTC)}}

{{unblock reviewed | 1= Regarding constructive contributions, I have been a registered editor since almost the founding of Wikipedia. I have made many constructive contributions. Currently I am trying to edit the site for Sun Group (Vietnam) regarding details of their busines that would (I assume) qualify their article stub as valid. I love Wikipedia, and I understand the necessity of not promoting myself, my site, or any affiliated businesses, etc. I will maintain these requirements absolutely. If I am unsure of a contribution, I will attempt to verify an edit via the Talk page before making the change. Dear Yamla, you did not explain how connecting an artists works to their public gallery is in conflict with Wikipedia's policies. Please clarify. I have not been actively editing pages for several years, so apparently my historical edits (under my previous username) are not linked to this account or well archived. Regarding the edit to MC Frontalot page, once again this goes directly to my question, and as soon as I am unblocked I was intending to also challenge the inappropriateness of this edit. MC Frontalot's given name is Damian Hess (as is clearly documented in the MC Frontalot article). The link that I provided is to Damian Hess's earliest web gallery publishing his early short story writings. So, if you (or the editor of MC Frontalot's page) can explain how linking this artist's page to his own artworks in a public web gallery in anyway violates Wikipedia's guidelines I will certainly not make that mistake again. This, really isn't my priority, I just felt that fans of MC Frontalot might enjoy how great his early writings were. What I am trying to do right now is to add information to the Sun Group (Vietnam) regarding their completion of the worlds longest cable car amongst other projects. This company has become a major economic force in Vietnam, and people need to be able to find information about them in Wikipedia as their influence (which is really quite terrifying) will only increase here in the future. Thanks. --DamonWyle | decline = Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficiently convincing for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 14:17, 19 January 2019 (UTC)}}

"I have been a registered editor since almost the founding of Wikipedia. I have made many constructive contributions." This account was registered on 2017-02-03. This account currently has seven edits, six of which are to this talk page and the other is the inappropriate edit to MC Frontalot. That doesn't track with your statement. Can you elaborate? --Yamla (talk) 15:12, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You say, above, that you have contributed using a previous username. It would help if you could tell us what this username was. Anthony Bradbury {{sup| "talk" }} 10:54, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, this all started because my previous username from '01/'02 was "artpoetryfiction" same as my website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.118.3.19 (talk) 02:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Would also like to add some Vietnamese translations for example Cau I have a great reference with some of the minority language names for this and many other plants in the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Damon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.118.3.19 (talk) 11:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
