User talk:DavidBarrPhotographyDotCom

December 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DavidBarrPhotographyDotCom", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is promotional. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.  Jay Jay Talk to me 00:17, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Are you suggesting the DotCom suffix is somehow promotional? DavidBarrPhotographyDotCom (talk) 00:26, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed I am judging from the fact that your name is a real website. Cheers,  Jay Jay Talk to me 00:32, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

So removing that suffix fixes this problem? DavidBarrPhotographyDotCom (talk) 00:36, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No. You still may not promote your photography with your username. (Incidentally, I'm a fan of your work. Fantastic stuff.) Danger High voltage! 00:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Without photographydotcom your username would fine.  Jay Jay Talk to me 00:39, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Danger High voltage! 00:36, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Would DavidBarrPhotos be acceptable?
 * Probably not. "DavidBarr" and "David Barr" are both available. You can use your userpage to describe yourself a bit, as long as it's not overly promotional. Danger High voltage! 00:55, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
