{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. Huon (talk) 22:55, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
I am the trademark holder on this business name and was not aware I was unable to make a "threat" in regards to a person's attempts to vandalize it. I only wish to protect my page. Please consider un-blocking and allowing me to defend my page against the vandal.

Request reason:
Was not aware of such a rule. Was simply trying to defend my page against a vandal. SuperPacMan (talk) 01:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Legal threat retracted. PhilKnight (talk) 21:35, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- If you want to be unblocked, you will have to explicitly retract the legal threat. You can edit or litigate, not both. Huon (talk) 17:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
How and where do I do that? This page is the only thing I'm allowed to edit now. Do I say here that I retract the legal threat, because I do. I can no longer find the post in question and any attempt to edit the page itself gives me the block.
- May I ask what your connection to User:Sprinter461 is? Peridon (talk) 18:56, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

- Please keep in mind that the pages and articles do not belong to one person, but to the world. Our goal is to promote quality pages. Please re-consider sourcing your additions with real-world sources. Paid blogs, press releases (written by you!) etc. are not allowed. We welcome your contributions but they must pass the quality test and not be part of some larger PR campaign conducted by you and your business partner. Also, I stress again, it seems that the U.S. Video Game Team has such an intertwined history with Twin Galaxies that it really should be moved back to that page.
Difference of opinion. The USNVGT was only intertwined with TG from 1983-1987. In 1987, the USNVGT actually purchased TG and there are documents to show this posted online. It continued to run from 1987-circa 1995 before it faded away, a far longer length of time than the original "intertwining" and, considering that TG folded for a long period during this time.. the USNVGT actually existed for more years in the 20th Century than TG did.
Also, as previously noted, the articles (not paid blogs) on Peters and Nauert were written by me well before any business interests came into play. It is unfortunate that it would be assumed such older content would be part of a PR blast, especially when one can argue this page was originally set up by the founder almost a decade ago, and nobody ever had an issue with him adding in himself and his own articles on what was at the time his own site. But opinions are like... something everyone has.
This history, sadly, has hardly been told out there. Even more sadly is that admins have come in and erased long standing history in an already short page to boot.
At the present time, I've thrown my hands up at fighting with admins on this matter. Too many inconsistent and arbitrary decisions in addition to a lack of knowledge on the subject, such as I noted in these very comments. My interests were not to promote anything other than adding to the missing history.
Instead, I will make those contributions elsewhere as time allows. I added a missing fact for the classic Pac-Man yesterday, for example. Over time, I'm hopeful these contributions will add enough to the overall knowledge base on here that I won't have these issues in the future. As it stands right now, Wikipedia is proving to be an obstacle rather than an ally in our continued efforts to capture and catalog the full and rich history of a great many things that, right now, have not been handled well.
Thank you for your input. SuperPacMan (talk) 15:00, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
