Because we have a policy ↗ against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked ↗ this account; '''please take a moment to create a new account ↗ with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy ↗ or request a change of username ↗.''' <p>You should also read our conflict of interest guideline ↗ and be aware that '''promotional editing is not acceptable''' regardless of the username you choose.

A "YouTube channel" ''is'' a website, and thus not an acceptable username. --<span style="color:#F80">Orange Mike</span> | <span style="color:#FA0">Talk</span> 14:06, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
:I had relied on the portion of the username policy which states "Email addresses and URLs (such as "Alice@example.com" and "Example.com") that promote a commercial web page and don't simply identify a person. While plain domain names (without .com, .co.kr, etc.) are sometimes acceptable, such as when the purpose is simply to identify the user as a person, they are inappropriate if they promote a commercial Web page." I had thought that the purpose was to "identify this user as a person". 331dot (talk) 14:49, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
::A YouTube "channel" is a commercial website and can be commercially exploited and monetized; thus, it is not appropriate. Note, also, that under our rules you cannot have an account in the name of a non-profit organization, website, etc. Accounts should attach to a single unique human being. --<span style="color:#F80">Orange Mike</span> | <span style="color:#FA0">Talk</span> 15:11, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Orangemike}} I guess I'm an old fogey because I sometimes forget people can make money off YouTube. ;) I concur with your reasoning, thank you. 331dot (talk) 15:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Coomera Connector interchanges

Heya mate, just wanting to letcha know that there's no documentation that supports the future Smith Street interchange only having north-facing ramps. Not wanting to get into an edit war here over something pointless. Thanks :) CainNKalos (talk) 05:51, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

:Actually afta having had a proper look at the documentation, they don't say that it's only north facing ramps, but in the visual reference it is. Will revert back myself.
