Request reason:

Why have I been banned? The PRA should be linked on wikipedia. We are an information hub for everything related to Prime Rib

Decline reason:

Because you have added linkspam to the PRA with a username that implies this has been done by the PRA (which you seem to admit). This is explicitly forbidden in our username guidelines. — Ice Cold Beer (talk) 01:36, 7 December 2008 (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.

As part of being a wikipedian, we all agree not to write about things we have a conflict of interest with. If the prime rib association is actually notable, don't worry, someone will get around to creating an article about it sooner or later. Do you still want an account if you are not going to be able to write about the PRA? Templarion (talk) 01:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I still want an account. I will not post links to the PRA, I will take it to the discussion and ask the editors if they think it is notable. The PRA believes all wiki users should have access to the information on the PRA. Sorry for the previous spamming, didn't know it was against policy.

Request reason:

I am new to wikipedia, and will not post links to the PRA. I will go to the discussion page and if administrators deem it worthy, then I will post links to the PRA. Sorry for the trouble, i am just very enthusiastic about prime rib

Decline reason:

Even without this to consider, your username is promotional, and we don't allow promotional usernames here. — Blueboy96 19:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your username does not appear to meet username policy. Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, or misleading.

If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. You may request a change in username by following these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

Second account blocked

edit

User registered the account User:ThePrimeRibAssociation about 24 hours later, and despite the statement "I will not post links to the PRA" above, user continued to post links to the PRA web site and promotional messages. The second account has been blocked as well. --MCB (talk) 18:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
