User talk:Carl-northwood

April 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "BCH Comms", 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. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry - new to this - I am actually the individual responsible at the above organisation for communications hence BCH Comms. I am trying correct factual (wrong deputy heads) and spelling inaccuracies (head teacher etc) on the webpage as well as improve the grammar. Happily change my username if you still think it is necessary.
 * Yes, unfortunately it is necessary per our WP:Username Policy. See the links above for information on requesting a new account. Also, please be aware that regardless of the name you choose for your new account, you may not edit in a promotional manner. Please be aware that we take conflict of interest seriously. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 18:45, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate what you are saying and I will choose a third name! All those rules and regs are so blooming complicated (the user name page is not at all user-friendly). I only wanted to make something correct on my school's page and then explore how it may not be re-edited by any possible dissatisfied students. I also intend to edit/correct many other wiki pages local to me that are just plain wrong and look as though they are written by an illiterate child! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.22.174 (talk) 18:51, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You are certainly welcome to correct inaccurate information. Also, please be aware there is no way to prevent someone else from coming along and re-editing a passage in the article, short of protecting the article which is unlikely to happen as doing so is against the spirit of Wikipedia. Please do request a new account. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 18:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I have requested a name change (carl-northwood) - hopefully you won't have any objection to that unless of course I start correcting the page of my local town (Northwood)! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.22.174 (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to object to the correction of information on articles unless doing so treads on WP:COI. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
