Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Promotional. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

Thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 19:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply


My Username

Thanks for the warning. I am one person who is a part of sound and lighting for ROCKHarbor. ROCKHarbor Productions is not an official business. Am I ok with the username? ROCKHarbor Productions (talk) 20:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

This account, Yumyumcereal, has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username is the name of a business or company.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it—see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, or misleading. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far more easily allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
  4. In the alternative, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

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.

This still relates to your company; furthermore, it's already taken. Please check at Special:Listusers before requesting a new username. — Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

HELP!

Now that I have my username approved and can edit pages, can I be removed from the category classifying me as someone who has a bad username. Thanks in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yumyumcereal (talkcontribs)

FYI, dont add this template unless you are an admin -- Tinu Cherian - 06:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
