January 2023 edit

 
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 from editing. 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.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
  • 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 on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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 talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

To be quite honest I find it strange that this is an issue (months later), as it is my internet alias with plenty of context online for my knowledge and reputation for correcting false information regarding the 3DO system. For years modern sources have twisted historical context and published things as facts. The 3DO wiki page has been a victim of trolling, false publications cited, and opinions. No action was put forward to do anything about this for a very long time, but coincidentally I correct information and all my edits on the page were targeted, old uncited information that is outdated by years was put back and the 3 paragraph opinionated observation was left untouched. I'm not going to appeal this, because I find it a fair rule, but I do find it quite incredible how opinion pieces and trolling can receive zero attention for years only for action to be taken against my username. This is not my gripe towards you specifically, but instead a statement about my confusion regarding where the line is supposed to be drawn.

Some of your contributions added links to your personal fansite about the 3D0, and your current username (Archive 3DO) is the name of that site. This is the biggest problem and the reason for your block (as noted above in the block message). Please follow the directions above and choose a different username that represents you, not your website. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
With all due respect, my website has pages of factual information, hundreds of dollars and hours into research. I am not simply documenting my opinions. There is images of items on my website not found anywhere else. But I understand how the conflict of interest appears.
I already submitted a username change but it was rejected. I will attempted again. Thanks for the reply. Archive 3DO (talk) 21:23, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I see this one has gone through so I've unblocked your account. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 22:10, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
