Change your username... please edit

Under WP:CORPNAME, it is inappropriate to have a user name that is the same as an organization. As a username, "User:AustraliansinFilm" is too similar to the title of organization article Australians in Film which you created aqnd have been editing... and could cause editors to believe you represent that organization. Study WP:Conflict of interest. I urge you to visit and follow instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple. Perhaps choose something like User:AussieFilmEditor01, or something that could show an topic interest but not seem so COI? I would urge you to submit a change request quite soon, or risk being blocked for inadvertently violating policy. Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:34, 18 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, AustraliansinFilm, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. GorillaWarfare (talk) 15:15, 19 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
