User talk:MichaelStricklandCO

November 2017
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 16:50, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

 * The user name issue has now been dealt with. The edit you made did appear promotional, whether intentionally so or not, but you have agreed not to do the same again. That covers both the reasons for your block, so I am willing to unblock your account, but rather than doing so immediately I would like to give the blocking administrator,, a chance to comment if he or she has any opinion to express. I hope this can be settled soon, but you may have to be patient for a little while. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Out of town for a few per my page. OK. No issues now. (BTW it's a he). -- Alexf(talk) 15:49, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
