User talk:CM Files of AFLCIO

February 2019
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 or a web site, 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 that 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. 331dot (talk) 15:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

You haven't "promoted" per se, but accounts representing an organization(additionally with an organization's name as its username) are not permitted. Your username must indicate that an individual is using this account; it need not be your real name. If you want to indicate the AFL-CIO in your username, a name in the format of "Username of AFLCIO" would be acceptable. Please choose a new username as instructed above. You will also need to review and comply with the conflict of interest and paid editing policies. 331dot (talk) 15:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

NOTE! I misspoke. I was under the impression that CM Files was the person who dealt with files called CM. I see through off-wiki evidence that this is not the case. If you would prefer CM Files of AFLCIO, I'm happy to try to rename your account to that. If instead, you would rather go with Cmfiles1, let me know. --Yamla (talk) 15:30, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
