Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding below this notice the text. Thank you. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:15, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Orangemike,

I'd be less hesitant about this if your article Transmedia activism hadn't included a gigantic ego-stroking block quote from your own doctoral thesis, which could lead us to suspect that you're here to promote yourself as a (in your words from the above article) "Media studies scholar". Schock alone, as opposed to schock.cc (a website which hosts your CV and publicity about your projects), couldn't be seen as a problematic username. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:39, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Transmedia Activism for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article Transmedia Activism, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Transmedia Activism until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Rrburke (talk) 00:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
