User talk:FreewheelingSynapses

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your changes to Brain in a Jar, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Braininajargames", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Meters (talk) 18:35, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Brain in a Jar


A tag has been placed on Brain in a Jar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Meters (talk) 18:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Braininajargames, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Peridon (talk) 19:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Note to admins: I'm quite happy for anyone to unblock for change of name so long as the user here has read my post below and understands it. Peridon (talk) 19:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Got blocked in the middle of editing
Hello. I have applied for a username change, if accepted I will try again. In that I mean... try again at being a part of Wikipedia - NOT try again at creating that particular page. Lesson learned, I'll leave that to someone else.
 * Have you read the post above (and the policies linked in it)? Peridon (talk) 19:34, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * In the mean time, I've moved the article to User:Braininajargames/draft where it should be safe from deletion for a while. Peridon (talk) 19:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have done my usual of diving in head first. I still feel I can contribute in a positive way. However I will steer clear of any conflicts of interest.
 * Peridon said your page should be safe in a userspace draft, but in fact I came on it still tagged for deletion and deleted it in preparation for blocking your account because of your username. I see you are already in process of changing your username, and if you request it from your new username, I will restore the page, though from the above you may not want it back.

 * Oops - forgot the tag... Sorry. Peridon (talk) 19:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
