User talk:ChileMetalBeer

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 {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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 {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I don't want my user account to carry association with a brand or product. I wish to write articles about influential South African musical projects and bands and was unaware that the terms did not allow my username to bare resemblance to any of the content. I am an active home brewer and can contribute to pages regarding the South African brewing industry. I am also a chile pepper fanatic.

Accept reason:

You're unblocked. As Jimfbleak says you should read WP:YFA. PhilKnight (talk) 00:34, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed. An uninvolved admin will be along in due course to consider your unblock request. Just Chilling (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak:- would you object to an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just Chilling No objections, although on the evidence of the article I deleted this user needs to read WP:YFA to avoid the problems that led to the deletion of his article (no references of any kind, let alone independent third-party, non-encyclopaedic tone such as using first names etc) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:18, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The intent was to save the page as a draft, I'm still getting the hang of this whole Wikipedia article creation thing. All points are understood. I only noticed the personal sandbox when it was already too late, will use that to play around.

Also please create any new draft through WP:Drafts. Just Chilling (talk) 01:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coolness, thanks for the tip :) ChileMetalBeer
