PCC ABuller

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Accept reason:

I have renamed your account from "Portland Community College" to "accountPCC ABuller". Since the blocking administrator told you that you are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username, there is no longer any reason for the block. JBW (talk) 17:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

I assume that's your real name. What is your connection to the college? Daniel Case (talk) 07:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

I work with the marketing department at Portland Community College. We recently noticed that the PCC entry displayed two logos - one current and one outdated. And I just wanted to remove the outdated one. If there's anything else I need to do - or if I'm required to use a different username, just let me know! Thanks!

• I will be happy to rename your account and unblock it. However, I have have not yet changed your username, because once it is changed, if you try to log in under your old username, you will get a message telling you that the username or password is wrong, which might make you think that you have lost access to your account. You can in fact simply log in with the new username, and the same password as before, but I like to warn editors before changing the name, to avoid confusion. When you have read this message, post a message here telling me that you are ready for the name change to go ahead. In that message include both the text {{ping|JBW}} and ~~~~. I will then be automatically notified of your message. JBW (talk) 15:06, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Please also take heed of Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. Editing the article of your employer qualifies as paid editing, regardless of whether or not you are paid specifically to edit Wikipedia. As such, a visible disclosure is required by this policy, preferably using the {{paid}} template on your userpage. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:36, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@JBW: ~~~~ Thank you for the information. I am ready to go ahead with the name change. And I will be sure to use the {{paid}} template on my username, once the name has been changed. Thanks again! Portland Community College (talk) 16:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
