User talk:Rockdaboot

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:17, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

1. Mget is a free community project. I am the main copyright holder, but I wouldn't call it 'mine', it is 'public'. 2. A user opened a bug report saying 'Mget should be on this wikipedia table'. See here. 3. Who will be more competent than I to fill in technical details ? Would the edit be accepted when done by another person (e.g. the bug reporter) ?
 * Wikipedia is not a technical forum, and an individual suggesting that something should be Wikipedia does not trump our WP:GNG and WP:COI policies. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:23, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Unblock requests need to come from the party who is blocked, not from a third-party. Secondly, aside from COI, the issue of notability remains. I've already removed all of the items that don't appear to meet that criteria] from the Metalink article. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 20:11, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. 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 this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this 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 below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

You are turning the facts. 1. Someone asked *me* to edit the article. Naive as I was I tried to do it (not anonymous but with my own account). 2. I was blocked due to 'your name does not represent you'. (Sigh, I already explained that it does.) 3. Now my unblock request was declined due to 'you advertise your own projects' and 'someone else should promote your project'. 4. I asked someone else to do it (*in the public*) with the link to that request posted here. (If I were a *bad guy* I would have acted hidden.) 5. When another person said, 'OK I'll do it', I stopped him from doing so ! (Also documented on the github issue.) 6. I now put a warning into the github issue to *not* edit the Metalink page. This is not another unblock request, just a comment. I was new to Wikipedia as an editor and I made a mistake. All you do is to block me indefinitely instead just saying, he that's not what we want, revert it. I would have reverted it, learned my lesson and everybody would have happy eyeballs. Instead, you escalated the situation and made me feel very unhappy. You didn't give me the chance to retreat, my explanations end up in a 'back to start' situation. I am really disappointed with how you approach newbies. However, wish you a nice weekend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.154.122.155 (talk) 14:11, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
