User talk:AXIS Creative Arts

September 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "AXIS Creative Arts", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 16:11, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Ihave been the faculty advisor for the magazine AXIS at Miami Dade College. We are not selling or promoting a product, just making our presence more accessible in a public forum.


 * But the issue is that the username ("AXIS Creative Arts") implies that this is an account that represents the publication and the people that run it. If you want to continue to use this account, you have to get it renamed in a way that complies with our username policy. Otherwise, you may create a new account. This is tangential to the actual edits you have made. Note however that even if you change the name, you still may only make edits on behalf of yourself, the person - not the group of people that runs AXIS Creative Arts.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, AXIS Creative Arts, 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:
 * Adding 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.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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 Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 12:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
