User talk:Fourstones

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply 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 you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 22:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

fourstones is the name I've been using on the web since 2001 as a blogger and musician http://magnatune.com/artists/four_stones/

Decline reason:

And it could well have been the name you used here, if you hadn't used it to promote your website (Also, you were supposed to submit a new username with this, and you didn't). — Daniel Case (talk) 06:41, 13 April 2022 (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.

I don't have a website, there's nothing to promote, I have no idea what this is in reference to unless we're talking about ccmixter.org which used to be a Creative Commons website when I was employed at 15 years ago. I fixed a broken link on that page a few months ago. Is that why you to deny me the username I've used here for over 20 years?

Request reason:

I DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE TO PROMOTE. I CAN'T PROMOTE SOMETHING I DON"T HAVE.

Decline reason:

Note that using all caps is considered yelling and won't help you get unblocked. This edit in 2009 added a website with your username to the article about you so I'm puzzled by you now saying you don't have it. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{unblock|reason=Please note that being snarky about a 13 year old edit of a link to a website THAT DOESN'T EXIST after letting me know there's a problem by banning me is considered a great way to lose the support of a long standing donor.}
