User talk:Mike of Cabells

March 2019

There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

Mike of Cabells (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Ah, I understand. I tried another username. I'm also fine just having a normal username with nothing to do with Cabells. I know what you mean, in addition to working in academia I study it as a hobby. I also would like to comment on baseball, early American history, and I study paranormal and alien activity a great deal so may have something to offer on those topics as well. Thanks again.

Accept reason:

With the okay from the blocking administrator, I will remove the block. If you ever have any questions, you may use the Teahouse(for new users) or the more general Help Desk. 331dot (talk) 21:49, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Scholarly Comms" sounds like "Scholarly Communications" which sounds like a part of your organization; please choose something else. No need to make a new unblock request, simply replace your original choice with your new one. A name in the format of "Username of Cabells" would be acceptable, if you wish. If you haven't already, please review conflict of interest and paid editing(which you must comply with as an employee of Cabells). It is going to be difficult for you to edit anything related to what your company does; are there any other subjects that you want to edit about as an individual? 331dot (talk) 18:28, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Blade of the Northern Lights do you have any concerns? 331dot (talk) 21:19, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks all right to me. Username is sorted out, and a clear statement on where he'd like to edit. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:48, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't alter closed requests(though you may remove it outright now that the block is gone). 331dot (talk) 12:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
