User talk:Naturaldog

Hi! Wikipedia isn't a forum for advertising, and the rules don't allow us to use the name of a business as a username, so I've blocked this account and deleted the advertisement you created. Although we have strict rules against advertising, we're otherwise very nice people, so if you're interested in volunteering to help write the encyclopedia, you're entirely welcome. Just create a personal username and jump right in- but be careful to avoid writing about your own business. Thanks! If you believe this block is an error, you may contest the block by adding the text below.

It's no wonder this site is in a nose dive!
I create an account, I'm trying to figure out how to use this convoluted site, I create a page, and I get deleted and IP banned! Then a silly message from the militant admin FisherQueen tells me to submit my reason to be 'undeleted' and there is no indication where or how I submit it, because it's BLOCKED!!!

 * I thought my message was pretty friendly, explaining that you can't use Wikipedia for advertising while still letting you know that you, as a person, are welcome here if you want to participate. Is there something about the message that you were confused by, or that came across as 'militant?'  I try to be as clear and as friendly in my messages as I can, while still making sure no one puts advertising on Wikipedia, and I'd be glad to help you get started, if volunteering to help write an encyclopedia is something you're interested in doing. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:07, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, I was careful to not block your ip, so that you can easily create a new account with a different username if you want to participate without advertising. The only reason to use the {unblock} template is if I was incorrect in thinking that "Natural Dog" is the name of a business. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:19, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
