User talk:Wearyturkey

There have been two problems identified 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, 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.

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 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 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 16:49, 3 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Additionally, there was reference to this community in version https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Microsoft_Dynamics_AX&oldid=617867687, but it was deleted. If it's acceptable to include a reference to one community, it should be acceptable to include reference to others.  I will change my profile to a personal account if that make this easier, as well.  If it's not acceptable to have a reference to Dynamics User Group, then I'd like to request deletion of the references to the other communities, and their associated for-profit conferences that are listed below. posted by Dynamicsusergroup and reformatted by Peridon.

 * The : and :: are for use on any talk page or discussion page (like WP:AN) for indenting comments (like I did on this one). They move the text of a paragraph over, which typing a space at the start doesn't do. Doing that gives you something like

this or even worse
 * (here's another : to keep this paragraph in place) and don't ask me why. They can be used in article space, but there's very little call for indenting there. As to the other organisations, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. And you won't get unblocked unless you request a new name. Names that appear to represent an organisation (or a product, or web site, etc) are forbidden here. Even User:Government of the United States of America would be blocked on sight. (Possibly for impersonation as well...). Peridon (talk) 18:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Peridon. Can you change my username to wearyturkey, instead?  Thanks.  Also, I had another associate of mine update the page in question - I hope it reads a lot less advertiser-y and more informational.  We also added some additional text on an unrelated topic up in the summary.  Can you review the page one final time.  If it still is unacceptable, I'll just give up trying to edit it.
 * Next thing to learn: sign talk page posts with ~ which looks really silly, but produces your signature and the time stamp. Now. I rather wish you hadn't said that about your associate. Using someone else to evade your block is what's called meatpuppetry WP:MEAT (as opposed to sockpuppetry WP:SOCK which would be you starting another account while blocked) and it isn't allowed. If you're lucky, the next admin along might agree with me that you didn't do it for evil purposes, but through not knowing the rules. I'm too knackered to review anything at the moment, but I'll ping who can change names (I rather like that choice 'wearyturkey' - I often things like Henrietta the Aardvark to people who are being unimaginative - and it looks to be available). He's usually fair-minded too. Peridon (talk) 22:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've renamed the account from User:Dynamicsusergroup to User:Wearyturkey (I like the name too). Sorry I don't have time to review the unblock request, but it's approaching my bedtime - I'll look in the morning if nobody else gets there first.

 * OK, I have a suggestion. The problem with adding links to an article is that they are supposed to be added only if they're considered a benefit to readers reading the article, ideally added by independent third parties. If you add a link to something to which you have a connection yourself, it's usually seen as an attempt to promote the link rather than to help educate. Now, it's clear that there is scope for overlap and it is entirely possible to add a link to which you have a connection but which is also of value to the article. When there is uncertainty like this, the arbiter should be the community, via consensus. So, my suggestion is that, if there is any further dispute about that link, you declare your connection with the user group on your user page, your associate also does so (yes, I'll assume good faith on that too), and you start a discussion on the talk page of the article to seek a consensus on which links to include - the addition of yours and/or the review of the existing links. If you agree to that, I'll be happy to unblock. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey guys, yeah, that seems fair. I'm part of Dynamics User Group.  I'm also a member of the AXUG, a member of community.dynamics.com, and a member (although not much of one) at Mibuso.com.  My intent was to provide people looking to Wikipedia for information about Dynamics AX (as I do in many other instances daily) with an ample list of resources they could come to for additional help.  You're right - there is a bit of overlap here between being a benefit to the Community and having a conflict of interest, but I'd hope that's something that's ok in this case.

 * The trick is to be open about your connections and to discuss things, I think. Anyway, I've unblocked, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:28, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Boing! sad Zebedee. To be perfectly honest, before I became embroiled in this whole discussion, I didn't even realize these talk pages and talk pages on the articles even existed!Wearyturkey (talk) 17:33, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
