User talk:Box Hill School

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your changes to Box Hill School, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Box Hill School", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or shared by multiple people. 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 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.}} --Drm310 (talk) 07:05, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Box Hill School, 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. 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) 06:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I'm an uninvolved editor who is here to help. I did a quick search and discovered that an account by that name was registered in 2006.  As such that name is not available for you unless you are wanting to usurp the account. I'll leave it for an administrator, but you may want to choose annother name as usurpation can take a rather long time to complete. Hasteur (talk) 16:49, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry if I am getting the editing stuff wrong. I was asked to update the Wiki entry for the school, but it is not meant to be promotional, just providing some extra information on the school itself. I tried very hard to write it in a factual rather than promotional way. I'm happy to accept that as an employee it would be considered a potential conflict of interest, but I am certain that the facts I have added are entirely verifiable (although how to verify it beyond reference to school literature, I am not sure. How can I update it beyond well, pretending to be someone else and putting in the information again, which seems entirely against the point... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.202.113 (talk) 08:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we'd really appreciate it if you don't return to editing that article. The issue is not that anything you wrote is demonstrably untrue, but that it sounds promotional. I'm sure objective sources would describe St. Peter's Basilica in similarly glowing terms, but I don't know if they'd describe Box Hill that way. Anyway, best to leave it to those that don't work for the school. Thanks.--Chaser (talk) 17:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
