User talk:Dofficialbarbs

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. 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. Thank you. -- The Anome (talk) 10:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The Anome, despite the "official" part of the name I cannot find any association with an organization that might mean the account is shared. I did find some social media accounts that seem individually used, confirming the unblock request. Any objections to an unblock? Huon (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Barbs, there are lots of people called "Barbs"; you are claiming to be the "official" one, presumably because you view your name as somehow more "official" than others. Alas, the meaning of the word implies that you are representing, or endorsed by, some organization: that's the definition of the word "official". If you don't want to convey that impression, please don't use the word. Could you perhaps choose another username? As of the time of writing, the username "Barbs" is free... -- The Anome (talk) 13:48, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Community consensus (see here) was reached not to block users just for having "official" usernames. Thus, I'm unblocking this user as there is no other reason given for block except the "official" username issue.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:30, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
