User talk:B-cycle

August 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "B-cycle", 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, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. 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 Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, 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. Alexf(talk) 14:42, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Alex, I was not aware of these rules when I made the username. I do work for the company and am trying to update some information I noticed was out of date/incorrect. I did create the username and am crediting on my own behalf. I did not realize I should make the username my own name and not the company's. I am new to editing on Wikipedia and not completely aware of the rules and all. Should I delete the username and start over? 208.87.233.180 (talk) 17:38, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. Alexf(talk) 16:20, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
