User talk:CDU Sachsen

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CDU Sachsen", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87". Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Iselilja (talk) 16:11, 8 July 2014 (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) 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello Iselilja and Alexf, thanks for your advices. This is the official wiki account of the 'CDU Sachsen' (as the spokesman). Would it be possible to unblock this user name? We can also verify our account via mail like we did in the German wiki. Best, --CDU Sachsen (talk) 15:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello CDU Sachsen. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Unfortunately the username policy for English Wikipedia is somewhat different from the policy at German Wikipedia which I understand is confusing.
 * English Wikipedia does not accept official accounts for organizations or shared user accounts at all. So to contribute to English Wikipedia you would have to use/create an individual account, which could be named "Alex at CDU Sachsen", "Alex in Sachsen" or whatever name you prefer as long as the account is just used by one person. (You might also request a rename of this account; if so use the unblock option and say you want a username change).
 * If you are a paid employee of CDU and create and start editing any CDU pages with an individual account, you will have to declare your relationship to CDU either on your userpage, user talkpage or in the edit summary.
 * Wikipedia discourages Conflict of Interest editing. If you are a CDU employee or otherwise associated with CDU, you should only make basic, uncontroversial edits to any CDU pages. Inserting new photos (which you have done) is OK, as is basic updates on leadership etc. But if you want more controversial or comprehensible changes to any CDU pages, you should only suggest such changes at the article talk pages and not make the changes yourself.
 * Sorry that this may be a bit confusing and complicating. Please ask me if anything is unclear.
