Consolas 'bug'
Hi. I'm afraid I have removed your recently added section on a 'bug' in Consolas, for a reason which I detail on the Consolas talk page. Thanks. -- simxp (talk) 15:26, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.
 * Website names are not allowed as Wikipedia usernames. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:25, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

 * , thanks. I do not object to an unblock now that the username has been changed. MikeLinacre, please be aware that you cannot use Wikipedia for self-promotion, and that your edits need to comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  20:37, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
