User talk:PlatteCon Convention Master

Help
My account was blocked due to a conflict of interest. Since I am not able to write about my gaming convention as the convention coordinator, I would prefer that this account be deleted. If that is possible, please delete this account.

 * Per WP:Username policy: "It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier; either a username or an IP address. Editors seeking privacy per their right to vanish can have their accounts renamed and their user pages and (in some cases) user talk pages deleted."

Rename request
Please change my username to Telsaan. FAQ says to use db-user for username changes. I'm no longer trying to delete my account or any pages.

Hello PlatteCon Convention Master. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User talk:PlatteCon Convention Master, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Does not apply to user talk pages. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * PlatteCon Convention Master, I'm not sure where you saw that you needed to use for username changes, as all that does is request that a page be deleted.


 * In your case, I believe you're looking for . And in particular, I believe what you want is . Copy & paste that below, and an admin should come along shortly and review it. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 01:31, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You have addressed only one part of the block reason (the user name). That is, in fact, the less important part of the reason for the block. I suggest that you re-read the block notice (which you have chosen to remove, but which you may still read here) and follow the instructions there if you want to be unblocked. It is unlikely that you will be unblocked as long as it looks as though you still intend to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * To clarify from above: Wikipedia is not here to "get the word out", it is here to catalog things that reliable sources have already gotten the word out about. It is not a place to promote or advertise anything. Your proposed username is acceptable, but I am concerned that your proposed edits are probably not. Are you prepared to write about subjects that are, firstly, verifiable, and are also notable, as demonstrated by extensive coverage in unrelated, disinterested reliable sources, and to never write from your personal knowledge or experience?

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the three important principles above. Ron h jones (Talk) 17:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the short form you should know is this: the other conventions don't have articles because they're not notable enough for an encyclopedia. In fact, some of the ones that do exist probably don't belong.  If you goal is to create non-notable articles, please don't ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 18:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
