Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Subsea 7, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Teapotgeorge^Talk 05:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Subseaconsultant, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:

Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Underwaterconsultant (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I fail to see any rational reason why you have blocked my user name. My user name does not represent a group or a body, it is my profession!, I am a Subsea consultant. Would you block any of the following user names: Teacher or Welder or Seacaptian or Airlinepilot or Heartsurgeon??. You also seem to be infering that I am, in someway, connected to Acery or Subsea7. This is not true I have no affiliation or connection with either of these organizations. Once again, my user name is my occupation not a group or organisation. Please unblock it.

Decline reason:

I would have accepted this argument if you had never edited an article about Subsea 7. Because of that, it appears that you are linked as a consultant to or from Subsea 7. Just as I would indeed block User:HeartSurgeon if they created an article MidWest Heart Surgeons Ltd (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:34, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Allowing username change to underwaterconsultant (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.
