April 2010

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Gustavus Adolphus College Archives, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because accounts are registered to individuals, not organizations or groups. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 19:54, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to leave a note so I'll go with this message. While the user name is an organization name - I am the only person in this part of the organization. Thus, I see it as being me, but if that isn't good enough, I can change it. However, I'd ask if you could explain how that change is done. GAC Archivist (talk) 21:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Per the username policy, the use of names of groups is not permitted, even if only one person is using the account. To change your name, go to this page, and the instructions should tell you how to get it changed. If you have any other questions, you can ask on my talk page. Regards, P. D.

Proposed deletion of Tau Mu Tau

The article Tau Mu Tau has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article makes no assertion of the subject's notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Tim1357 ^talk 02:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, IALTO, 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. 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. 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.

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. -- Cirt (talk) 00:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

Gazing the Darkling Plain (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Decline reason:

Is that the new username you want? If so, it seems acceptable to me. You'll probably find it easier and quicker to just create a new account. It's only a soft block, so the software should allow you to create and edit with another account. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
