Requested username:

Drydockfan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that I was blocked from making contributions to Wikipedia for promotional reasons. It was not my intent to provide information / contributions that were anything other than factual. I believe I made the mistake of not quoting / citing more than one source. I would like to have my page reinstated so that I may contribute to pages within my area of expertise as well as assist with providing factual information to the World of Wikipedia. I would appreciate any assistance that OrangeMike or another Wikipedia Administrator can provide regarding making contributions that are factual without adding promotional material. Thank you for your assistance. Drydockexpert (talk) 13:12, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline - no answer to questions in 3 days. PhilKnight (talk) 23:01, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. PhilKnight (talk) 16:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
