User talk:TenchFrancis1795

August 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.
Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. Primefac (talk) 12:02, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

P.A.O. (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My name is Peter A. Ogilvie. I am requesting a new username. I am a retired supply corps officer and enthusiastic supporter of the supply corps school, but am not affiliated. Please change my username from NSCS PAO to P.A.O.

Decline reason:

I see nothing wrong with that new username except that we already have all reasonable variations of it, so that username isn't available. You are welcome to pick a new username. It doesn't even need to directly reflect your real name if you don't want it to. Yamla (talk) 15:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! How about TenchFrancis1795

Would that work? Do I need to fill out another template?

Having played a few WWII submarine games over the decades, I'm fairly sure the Tench was a class of WWII submarine. :) I have lifted your block. Please review WP:COI before editing further. You may count as someone with a conflict. If you are still unsure, you can ask over at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. I myself had to ask about a possible personal conflict there recently and they'll help you figure out whether or not you do. Even if you do have a conflict, you'd still be very welcome to suggest edits over on the article's talk page, Talk:Navy Supply Corps School! Either way, thanks for clearing this up, welcome back, and happy editing! --Yamla (talk) 16:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I appreciate the block lift. I will check out the WP:COI page before editing further.

By the way, Tench Francis is the father of the Navy Supply Corps, I though it would be cool to give him a nod as my username.

Thanks again for your help.
