Decline reason:

Adding "the" to an unacceptable promotional username is not going to cut it. You need to come up with a new name that is not associated with a company or organization. —

Some pages I've created/edited where just to help someone out as they didn't have the resources or understanding about how to use wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nargonne (talk • contribs) 14:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we unblock with the proviso that he not link to his company from his userpage. His edits otherwise don't seem to be promotional, and in fact if he doesn't mention his company at all there's really no username violation. Daniel Case (talk) 14:50, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So we're saying the block was placed in error, and the username needn't be changed anyway? I don't even see a problem linking to the company, so long as the user isn't spamming it, which he isn't. And this doesn't really strike me as a role account; rather a single person who likes the username, so he's using it both for his company and his wiki name - although apparently our username policy disagrees with me.

That's what I'm saying, actually. Daniel Case (talk) 16:02, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
