User talk:BSPool

June 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "BSPool", 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. ''Your username, and userpage, indicates this is a shared account, which is not allowed. Every editor needs their own account. Also ,no-one "owns" articles - see WP:OWN for more information'' Mdann52 (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

BSPool (reply) Fair enough... I don't wish to put my name on the edit. This is an account created for a company - but not for promotional edits. This account was created to correct misinformation about the Boiling Springs Pool. Please check the edit - and feel free to call it your own.
 * Fair enough - warning struck. Just a note more than anthing - most accounts I come across like this are promotional - no hard feelings :) Mdann52 (talk) 12:54, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

BSPool (reply) - nope, no hard feelings at all. I do understand the promotional aspect not being encouraged here. I actually removed a bunch of things that would 'help' the pool promotion. I am glad someone thought enough to add the pool to the Entertainment section of the town we are in. I am watching that page just to make sure our information is just current facts. - Thanks!

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, BSPool, 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 and create the account yourself. 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. Daniel Case (talk) 17:57, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
