User talk:Bow wow film fest

Welcome
Hi--

I wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia. But I also wanted to warn you that your username is probably in violation of Wikipedia naming conventions. It's likely to get you banned. See WP:ISU and WP:CORPNAME. This is especially true given that you seem to be in the process of drafting a new page that is about an event sharing your username. The page itself, then, is also likely to be deleted, as per WP:NOTADVERTISING and other section. This is just a friendly heads-up in order to give you a chance to maybe change your username, and think a bit differently about how you structure the wikipedia page. Feel free to reply to me here, or to put something on my talk page. Likewise if you just edit this page with, someone will come calling. Cheers! Prof. Mc (talk) 20:48, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. MER-C 12:25, 18 June 2016 (UTC) Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the three important principles above. PhilKnight (talk) 02:18, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm concerned that the new username would still imply some relation to the film festival, since the film festival is "Bow Wow" and the suggested username is "Ruffruff". What you need to do is choose something that doesn't imply that it's a shared account and also doesn't seem like it'd be promotional. You can do something like "John at BowWow", though. I'm inclined to deny this since it's still too close to a promotional COI username. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:02, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
