[edit] Rick Pantera
Hi! I'm not sure who Rick Pantera is, but before you add him again to List of male performers in gay porn films, would you kindly read the comment that says:
- "PLEASE DON’T ADD NAMES UNLESS THERE IS AN ARTICLE ON THE PERSON AS A PERFORMER IN GAY PORN FILMS.
Since Mr. Pantera *doesn't* have an article, adding him to the list again would constitute vandalism, which can get you blocked. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a note! Thanks, -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 20:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, before you go all out adding every video of his you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography#Filmographies which gives guidelines on what to include. Benjiboi 02:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Do not remove the fact dates until you have a source. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Blocking
This account has been
blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our
username policy.
- This is often not a reflection on the user, and 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. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
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, confusing, or misleading.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
-
- 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.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- 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. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will
deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also
appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|
your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.
Request reason: "User_talk:Allstarecho.] "
Decline reason: "This account and username were blocked because username policy forbids any username that matches or is substantially similar to a real-world organization. If you wish to request a username change while blocked use {{unblock-un}}. You will be asked to provide a new username and have it approved before the change and unblock can be made. But any admin will consider the link below as well. This cannot be a shared account ... it muse be used by one person and one person only, and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. — Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)"
Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

I would think that username would have the same problem as your original does. Aleta (Sing) 20:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note to admin reviewing the block
Please read [|Declined block on UAA ]World News International (talk)
Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rick_Pantera#Videography Having that particular user name isn't the only reason the block should stand. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
