  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)Reply




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)Reply

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.

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

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.

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)Reply

 
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

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)Reply
