User talk:Aviation Without Borders

February 2021
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 or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must

disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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. Thank you. —  The  Earwig ⟨talk⟩ 07:11, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

The account "Junaid001" exists already, was that your account? The system says "Junaid!001" is too similar; I could override it(as that account has no edits) but I wanted to ask first. In the interim, please read conflict of interest and paid editing if you are associated with or work for Aviation Without Borders. 331dot (talk) 06:26, 31 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Junaid!001 was the username I was trying to change to from the inappropriate username Aviation Without Borders. Aviation Without Borders (talk) 13:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * What about the version of that name without an exclamation point? 331dot (talk) 13:46, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was my slip. We are a small charity, all volunteers and we are kept busy, so you will have guessed that I do not know much about Wikipedia.  The account was set up some time go and has got into a bit of mess so all we want now is to have access to tidy it up. Our Chair is Junaid so I re quested a u/n change to Junaid001 but it seems that I opened another account which was not the intention.  Can we now go back to stage 1 and request a change of the u/n from Aviation Without Borders to Junaid001.  Thank you. Stan Aviation Without Borders (talk) 17:23, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Happy to change your username, but unless you are Junaid you can't use their name as your username. 331dot (talk) 17:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I am dong this on behalf of Junaid but I shall get him to email you with the request.  Regards,
 * Stan Aviation Without Borders (talk) 10:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't communicate about Wikipedia matters via email. I just need to know what username you want. 331dot (talk) 10:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * My name is Stan Stewart and my colleague's name is Junaid Moolimani. We are both trustees of Aviation Without Borders which is a small aviation charity run by volunteers, mostly from the aviation world, and Junaid is the Chairperson. Check us out on Google. We are trying to get access to our account so we can tidy it up.  Junaid emailed to ask that you change the user name to Junaid!001 and gave his permission.  This clashes with another account with user name Junaid001, but that was my attempt to change the user name, not to set up another account.  It must be clear by now that we are not familiar with Wikipedia.  We are not monsters trying to crash Wikipedia, so it would be appreciated if you could just help us rather than continuing to block our access.  Can you please advise what we should do to ? Thank you  Aviation Without Borders (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said, I just need to know what username you want in order to rename this account. If you aren't concerned with your edit history, you may just create a new account in your preferred username, and you will just need to declare your relationship with the organization per WP:COI. You can't use Junaid as your username if you are not them. 331dot (talk) 22:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * We are going round in circles. My colleague, Junaid Moolimani, has already emailed you asking for the user name to be changed to junaid!001 but you have rejected that and continue to block us. Please check out his email, change the user name to junaid!001 and unblock us. Thank you. Aviation Without Borders (talk) 16:20, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have already explained that the account Junaid001 was opened in error. We surrender!  Please just close the Aviation Without Borders account, the Junaid001 account and the account with Junaid!001 that you have blocked.  Just close everything!
 * Thank you.

 * Only a single person should have access to and be operating this account. If you no longer wish to be unblocked, just stop using the account. As I said, I do not communicate via email. I can't rename the account to Junaid!001 because Junaid001 exists and the two names are too similar. If Junaid has access to the Junaid001 account, they should use it, and you may just create a new account with the username of your choice. I don't want you to "surrender", I'm trying to help you, but you need to meet me halfway. Would "Stan of AWB" be okay? 331dot (talk) 18:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
