Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ClaytonHomes", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an entity. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 99.0.83.243 (talk) 17:45, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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.  You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Requested username:

Maria at Clayton Homes (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I read the username policy and can see that you cannot name the account with the company name. As it is only one person using the account, I would like to rename the account so it only denotes the one person - however I still would like to indicate that this person is from Clayton Homes.

Accept reason:

For username change. Please be aware of conflict of interest policy.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 16:16, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Changing user names

I don't believe you have properly understood the name change process. You requested to be unblocked so that you could change your user name, but then you did not change your username, and have continued to edit under the name "ClaytonHomes". Please make a formal name change request at WP:Changing username/Simple. And, again, please not the conflict of interest policy. Specifically, you should not be editing the Clayton Homes article. If there are changes you feel need to be made, bring them up at the talk page and allow other users to manage the changes.
