A tag has been placed on User:Figguhlator (Rapper) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 16:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike | Talk 03:11, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

John McMillan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Entered a topic name instead of User name. Unfortunately, i used the topic as a User name, which vilates the purposes of Wikipedia, i deeply apoligize. I have requested a user name change and Unblock to further edit properly. My apologies to all editors. John M.

Decline reason:

Given the response below, no, at least not until you can convince us that you understand what Wikipedia is and how it works - and understand that you need to be honest about any potential conflict of interest (see WP:COI andWP:PAID for the relevant policies and guidelines). As soon as I have posted this, I'll post a Welcome message at the head of this page containing some more links to help get you started. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:16, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That username already exists, so please ~~edit the request~~ make a new request and specify a different one. You can check to see if a username is free at Special:CentralAuth. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:10, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. Do you work for Def Jam? Is Fred "Figguhlator" Boyd signed to Def Jam? --Orange Mike | Talk 07:32, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello OrangeMike! unfortunately, you are not Qualified to receive answers to personal questions to suit your Speedy deletion Vendettas. Please follow the Editor rules given by Wikipedia Officials. Be mindful of what your job title Consists of and rephrase your Question. UserName change will be re-requested Figguhlator (Rapper) (talk) 09:39, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are no "Wikipedia Officials". OrangeMike is an administrator(as am I) and in order to be unblocked by an administrator you will need to answer his questions. You will also need to select a new username as the one you selected is already taken. You can simply edit your existing request to change your choice of name. 331dot (talk) 10:04, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

page was deleted due to me using the topics name as a username. Request unlock to re-edit topic Frederick Bushau Boyd

Decline reason:

The new username is acceptable, however the conflict of interest and paid editing issues still need to be addressed. What is your relationship to Frederick Bushau Boyd? Yunshui ^雲 _水 15:07, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You will need to answer OrangeMike's questions and respond to what Boing! stated in their message, both located above, before I or any administrator can consider unblocking you. 331dot (talk) 13:17, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have globally renamed User:Figguhlator (Rapper) to User:JohnMcmill. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:11, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
