User talk:Brisbane CC

May 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Brisbane CC", 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, 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) 06:15, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Alex, Brisbane CC is the username chosen by Brisbane City Council and I am their representative. I am employed by Brisbane City Council as a social media officer and carry out profile building and community engagement with Council's stakeholders. Council's guidelines states that we cannot open accounts in our individual name as it does not meet our branding guidelines, so we must open an account as Brisbane City Council, or in this instance, Brisbane CC.

The Asia Pacific Cities Summit is co-led by Brisbane City Council, and the reason why we created this account.

If you can advise whether this is acceptable or an alternative solution that meets both of our needs it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a good day.

Matt Warrell


 * Sorry but the name is in clear violation of our username rules as stated in the notice above. please create a new account that represents one individual/one user/one password per account. Group or shared accounts are not acceptable. -- Alexf(talk) 16:41, 16 May 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) 16:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
