editWelcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BDDA", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the name implies shared use. 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 by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Hi - and thank you for your edits and I hope you hang around. There is a small problem, however
Wikipedia does not allow role accounts - i.e. accounts that belong to an organisation rather than an individual. While you can use a pseudonym, you can't use a name that purports to represent an organisation - like BDDA. See WP:ISU for more information
While you can change your username, it may be easier to create another account.Happy to help whichever way you decide to go. Cheers, Mattinbgn (talk) 05:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC) Mattinbgn (talk) 05:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

editYour username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.A username should not be promotional, appear to represent 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. However, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". 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:
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
below. 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 "Email this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. You've got mail!
