Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Lonsdale College, Lancaster, and I noticed that your username, "LonsdalePresident", 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, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

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, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.

 * Allow me to reinforce the above comment from someone who understands where you come from. I was on the staff at Lancaster University a long time ago in the very early days. I was a member of Bowland College for a short period but was then on the planning committee for County College and later was Principal of County when it first opened. I have been on wikipedia for many years. --Bduke (talk) 02:51, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I am an independent contributer with no affiliation nor bias towards the page I was editing. To upload photos that I own I had to create an account. As I was editing Lonsdale College I thought I would quickly give myself a name realting to the page that I was editing - this is a mistake on my end. The username does not reflect any position I hold at the group, I am an alumnus of the University. Having read the rules around usernames I can understand the requiremnet to change which I have submitted. I see the contributions and edits which I made have been reverted, when the username is successfully changed, will the page be updated to include the edits I made?

 * Hi, I reverted your edits as they didn't reference any reliable sources. I do know that this is also an issue with the current version of the article but we won't consider that a precedent. So to answer your question: once you changed the username, your edits still need to look slightly different (meaning they include references). In case of any questions, let me know. – NJD-DE (talk) 13:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
