User talk:Walbourn

February 2020
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Given this github profile (which I strongly believe is not a violation of WP:OUTING, as I found it by navigating the latest link posted by this account), I think the block is invalid in this particular case. NJA, please take a look and let me know if you agree. --Yamla (talk) 11:57, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the ping. To the user, apologies; I saw a link to a personal Git page and felt the link replacing the MSDN link was either a case of link spam and or promotion (though not blatant, more indirectly and in conflict of interest). As the username is linked to your real name, the block is indeed invalid for the reason I used. I will unblock now, but do bear in mind that indirect promotional editing to your hosted work(s) raises a potential conflict of interest, so be advised of the topics discussed at WP:COI to avoid issues when editing. All the best, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  15:31, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
