User talk:Sportssymposium

June 2011
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Sportssymposium, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Courcelles 17:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I would suggest reading over Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Once you've read it, post here to confirm that you have.

— Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 22:11, 27 June 2011 (UTC) 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) 23:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I understand the above user guidelines Sportssymposium (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Three of those links are content policies, not conduct/user ones. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 13:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I understand this. I simply want to unblock the account so that I can delete the article I started (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sportssymposium/Ivy_Sports_Symposium). I no longer intend to contribute to Wikipedia and simply wish to delete the article I started.Sportssymposium (talk) 14:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I can actually tag it for deletion for you - provided nobody else has taken what you've written and run with it (and in any case only administrators can delete pages). — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 14:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

That would be great. Someone else wrote a new article on the subject I started. Sportssymposium (talk) 15:13, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've tagged your subpage as CSD-G7, meaning it's a candidate for speedy deletion because you've requested it be deleted. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 15:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. Is it possible to delete this account once my page has been deleted? I do not plan on using Wikipedia any longer. Sportssymposium (talk) 16:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * For legal and technical reasons, we can't entertain requests to delete accounts. (We do, however, have a "right to vanish", where you just stop using the account.) As an aside, the page is now deleted. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 18:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I would like to vanish my account. How do I do this? 76.185.173.54 (talk) 22:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Simply stop posting. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 23:55, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
