Unblock

 * I am Jay Turner's brother, this is my band account. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 18:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, the account name is in violation of WP:USERNAME as well, as it is a promotional name. I'm going to go and block this account under those grounds.  --Yamla (talk) 19:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know the rules well, I did not put this on a a promotion of my band. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is not a sockpuppet, I am his brother. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * But given that you have not contributed to any articles, we have no way of knowing that. You are free to email unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org from an email address issued by your ISP, requesting that this autoblock and/or direct block be lifted.  Note, though, that the account name is in violation of username policy, as outlined below.  --Yamla (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Genuine band
This is a genuine band. --ScreenagerPresents.com Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, and that's why this is an inappropriate username. --Yamla (talk) 19:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It is under a publisher guy, so that it's classified to have an arcticle. So can I write a mainspace arcticle about it? I'll try to put no biasism, but I will need my accound unblocked, or alternitivly you can write the page. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No. See WP:BFAQ, WP:COI, and WP:AUTO.  Also, WP:NOTE.  --Yamla (talk) 19:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It won't be advertising, as It wont be bias.


 * Quote:
 * It is difficult to write neutrally and objectively about oneself (see above about unconscious biases). You should generally let others do the writing.

Blocked
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.


 * This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
 * Add below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Changing username.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.


 * Note that not only is this username the name of the band (thus in violation of our username policy) but this user's signature includes a link to the band site. --Yamla (talk) 19:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I will remove that link. Then can I be unblocked? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Your username is still inappropriate. Have you read our policy on usernames?  --Yamla (talk) 19:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have, and I don't see how its inappropriate becouse it's not advertising it. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The username is clearly promotional. You have expressed a desire to write an article on your band.  Until it was pointed out to you, every time you signed your name, you linked to your band's website.  The very name is identical to that of your band and your use of it serves to promote your band.  Another admin will be by in a while to review your block but I'd be really stunned if it was lifted.  --Yamla (talk) 19:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If I change it to with no links to the band, Can it stay on? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. Though you'll have to wait out the autoblock.  No reason to request a name change, you have no contributions in article space so it will be faster to remove your outstanding unblock requests and just create a new account tomorrow.  --Yamla (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can Jay be given a fresh start? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Jay's block expires tomorrow, I believe. --Yamla (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope 00:06 14th February. --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you do the request on behalf of me? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No need, you can just create an account tomorrow, once the autoblock expires. --Yamla (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Is the autoblock applied to users who use this IP or this IP and teh users who are logged in while its on? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Per Yamla, just create an account when the autoblock expires. It should expire about 24 hours after the last time that Jay uses that IP address.  Mango juice talk 21:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD

 * While I have your attention. Jay wanted to nominate 2 users for AfD but he's blocked.
 * Can you do it? --ScreenagerPresents Contact ScreenagerPresents 19:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I'll look into it, but we don't delete users we delete pages. Mango juice talk 21:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I see nothing at all wrong with either of those user pages, so I won't be doing anything. Mango juice talk 21:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
