Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created 9 Lies, and I noticed that your username, "Ninelies", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:19, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi 331dot (talk) Thanks for your message. What can I do to resolve the issue. I've put a lot of time an effort into compiling all the information an would be gutted if it was removed now. Can you advise please?

Thanks

I would first suggest changing your username (see instructions above) as usernames cannot be that of a group; they must indicate a single user. If you are associated with this band and are editing as part of your job, you need to clearly declare that somewhere. You will also need to review the conflict of interest policy. 331dot (talk) 21:02, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Cheers 331dot. I can't for the life of me see anywhere to change the user name. Would this require deleting the account entirely and making a new one do you know? Thanks Ninelies (talk) 21:11, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

If you look at the post above under the header "your username", there is a link to a form where you can change your username, you do not need to create a brand new one. This will transfer your edits to the new username. If you wish to reply to this post, simply click "edit" at the top of the page(the top of the section might also have such a link); doing this avoids creating a new header every time. 331dot (talk) 21:14, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
