Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, My majesty's balls, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. 331dot (talk) 15:19, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Kathy Hochul, especially if it involves living persons. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mario Cuomo, you may be blocked from editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Ethereum, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Online casino, you may be blocked from editing. bonadea contributions talk 15:11, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi,bonadea I've done lots of work to contribute to wiki articles in a theme I am excited about. But the editor [User:Rray] undone my contribution without explanation. I've also comment each my step at Talk:Online casino User cruiser Ben (talk) 15:18, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

You added the content, it was removed, and you started two talk page discussions which is the right thing to do. But then you did not wait for anybody to respond before you restored the content again, with the misleading edit summary "Reverting vandalism". Wait for a consensus to develop, and please remember to assume good faith. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 15:31, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Did you add this website as a reference by mistake? Please check the references you add, so you don't accidentally add spam links like that one. --bonadea contributions talk 15:34, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

bonadea, thanks. I will wait till the editors join Talk:Online casino. Also, I will check the link, look like I copypaste not the whole URL.

Suggestion

You might read the feedback I left for you in the Gambling in Quebec article, especially regarding the lede. Look at how other, similar articles structure their ledes. If you need help with this, ask. Rray (talk) 02:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC) Thank you! I will check it as soon as possible User cruiser Ben (talk) 07:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

It's great that you deleted that sentence, but the article is supposed to have a lede summarizing the main points of the article. Again, look at other, similar articles for how this is done. It shouldn't be hard to do. Rray (talk) 15:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of Gambling in Quebec for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gambling in Quebec is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gambling in Quebec until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Hi, before requesting to be unblocked, as it recommended in the guide to appealing blocks, I ask for clarification.

As I see there are 2 comments:

- about spam

- about multiple accounts

My question:

- I acknowledge that i previously have had other accounts but since I go deeper with wiki policies I have quitted using them. I think it should be clear visible in Wiki-Logs. Isn't it enough? Should it have been deleted?

- Same with spam. I am trying to stick to my choosen wiki project in the shpere i like. When I notice something I can add - I am doing it. If I maid a mistake by adding bad reference, I am up here to correct it. You dont have to ban me just a notification on the talk page is efficient.

I have come a long way to figure out how the platform works on my own. It won't be nice to lose it all

Can you tell me what can be done to improve the situation? User cruiser Ben (talk) 15:35, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
