User talk:AmCol35

May 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (SRUG admin) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is User:SRUG admin. Thank you. ''I would suggest very seriously that you request a change of name. Names containing 'admin' are not allowed as they might lead people to think that you are an admin here, and names that imply you are editing for a group or company are frowned upon. See {{WP:COI]]. If you don't request the change, you might find yourself blocked from editing.'' Peridon (talk) 10:52, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Never used that before. It's a semi-automatic thing and I didn't know how it would look. The bit about 'admin' is serious. That's much more important than the Undersea whatever group. But you may as well clear it all in one go and avoid problems later. Ask if you have any queries. Peridon (talk) 10:56, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, SRUG admin, 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 {{tlx|unblock-un|your new username here}} 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 {{tlx|unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.  Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere!  {{sup|(Whisper...)}} 11:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
