User talk:YsabelAdmin

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: The name "admin" is misleading as it might imply you are a Wikipedia administrator and confuse users. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Ysabel play game
A tag has been placed on Ysabel play game, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Ysabel play game and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. otherlleft (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Business' FAQ and Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. -- Alexf42 14:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I had no particular reason for choosing this name, I'll try to change it.

LE: I sent a message asking for user name change, but nothing happen yet. Regarding my article, I do not want to enter in any dispute, if it can't be published it's ok, I understand, but please let me know why was considered spam. Thank you.

P.S. There is no link to my company website which is different - only to the game itself.
 * The request for username change has to be done at the Change Username page. After receiving a message about username issues, as you see above, it is customary to answer it, and explain your reasoning, which you didn't. Editors generally wait for a period of a few days or until the user first edits to act on this and alert admins. In your case, the first edit was creating an article in direct violation of our username policy against company/spam accounts, so the account had to be blocked. The article was also deleted because it read like an advert for a product or website. I would be agreeable to reviewing the username case if you read the pages indicated above, (especially BFAQ and COI) and commented here that you have understood them ,and will abide by our policies and guidelines. -- Alexf42 16:08, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

YsabelAdmin (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC) I did that request for changing name already, waiting to be done. I have no objection about this, I have seen in the rules, 100% agreed - my mistake. Regarding deletion of article. That page: List_of_browser_games is full of articles about online games, and is not the only one. My article is not different from the others, or if it is I don't know which particular part of it. And, more than this, the game I 'advertise' it's really free - I'm not selling anything there, I don't have donation page etc. This is the thing I don't understand. Thank you.

Wikipedia is a great resource, lots of valuable information can be found here. But, there is a problem... like the one I have at the moment. A new user join the site, and is trying to add/edit something. Being new he is confused by the impressive number of rules that he need to know and follow, and is making mistakes. Why the articles done by new members (new member = less that 30 contributions for example) are not verified by an admin in order for them to be published? Just an idea.

 * Arrived home and saw your email. I have decided to grant your unblock email request provided you go to Change Username page and request a username change, and that you read and understand BFAQ and COI. Note: Unblock requests should be placed in the Talk page as explained in the blocking message. This way any available admin will review and make a decision to grant or not (much faster), without having to wait for a specific admin to receive an email. Please go to change your username. Pick one that is acceptable as per the username policy and request it there. Ask me if you have any questions. -- Alexf42 21:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * [Added]: You said you did a name change request. You didn't. Changes of usernames are not done by admins, but by bureaucrats at the indicated page. Your email was a request for unblock, not change of name. I'll be watchlisting this page for a few days. Please do not edit any other articles until you have had a name change. Feel free to ask any questions here or in my Talk page if I can be of any help. We all value good editors to improve the encyclopedia. May I suggest you read The Five Pillars of Wikipedia and Your First Article? They may be of help. -- Alexf42 21:16, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your response. Maybe I did something wrong when asking for name change, but it seems to work. See below:

From George Herbert

Andrei, are you the owner of the YsabelAdmin account, or is that unrelated to your use? What account name would you like us to create? Thank you for contacting unblock-en-l. Please reply to the mailing list, not my email address. Thanks.

Just replied and kindly ask him to change it to my real name.

That problem will be solved soon, thank you for help.

The other issue is not clear to me (the article that was rejected 1 minute after publish time).

 * Ah. It was another email then, not the one you sent me. -- Alexf42 11:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The article was rejected per A7 (web): Web content which doesn't indicate its importance or significance as it did not assert notability (no references) under WP:WEB. -- Alexf42 12:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alex, Just have a look at any of the games listed here Massively_multiplayer_online_real-time_strategy_games. Can't see really much difference compared with the article that I have written. Most of them are PHP sites while mine is an ASP.NET application Certified by Lionbridge (ex. Veritest). Also listed on Microsoft website here:
