User talk:ANBTXPR

February 2015
This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at American National Bank of Texas ‎, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Bobherry Userspace  Talk to me!   Stuff I have done  23:07, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created American National Bank of Texas, and I noticed that your username, "ANBTXPR", 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 username change 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.  Bobherry Userspace  Talk to me!

 * I have to disagree with Bobherry's warning about promotional editing above; your changes to the American National Bank of Texas clearly were made in good faith and mostly either improved the grammar or updated figures without promoting the bank. He's right, though, regarding the username; Wikipedia does not allow corporate or "group" accounts. Only one person may have access to a given account, ever, and the username must reflect that. If you want your username to be associated with ANBTX, a username such as "John at ANBTX" would be acceptable.
 * You may also want to check out the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use that govern paid editing on Wikipedia. In short, you'll have to disclose on your user page that you edit Wikipedia as a part of your job for ANBTX. Also, it's considered best practice not to edit articles where you may have a conflict of interest directly, but to propose specific changes, with references to back them up, on the talk page and to let uninvolved editors decide on their appropriateness. You can use the  template to raise awareness of such requests if the talk page isn't well-frequented. The first order of business, however, should be the username change (explained above); otherwise this account might be blocked from editing. Huon (talk) 00:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Missvain (talk) 07:20, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
