User talk:Cb3media

February 2022
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Cb3media", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be the name of a business. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 01:37, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Cb3media! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Washington Commanders several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at Talk:Washington Commanders, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 01:42, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

I received your email. I do not discuss nonprivate matters by email, you may use the article talk page to discuss your edits. Wikipedia strives to be accurate, but edits are done by consensus, summarizing independentreliable sources. There are other considerations here, that discussion with other editors might reveal.

Regarding your username, you certainly do not need to use your real name, but you cannot use a business name as your username unless it is individualistic(such as "JohnDoe of Cb3media"). 331dot (talk) 02:25, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Is this how I respond? I've not done this before.
 * Hey 331dot. Since I don't edit unless it's something I am certain of, I don't edit often but I have had the same user name for many, many years. I just looked at signing up with another user name but could find no violation regarding my current user name. I am a freelance editor and writer, and I call myself CB3Media but I have no company by that name I use my real name as my business officially with the IRS. I just didn't want to give my real name on Wikipedia, which I don't think I'm supposed to do anyway. But my real name is my business name. If I'm not getting paid, I don't intend to get in an editing war. If Wikipedia doesn't want to be accurate, that's fine. I was just trying to make it accurate.

I assumed my edits didn't go through the first time - that's why I did it again. I had no idea that someone could possibly dispute the facts I put forth. Thanks. Cb3media (talk) 03:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that the username policy regarding business names states that "Usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a company, group, institution or product" are not permitted, and that "While plain domain names are sometimes acceptable, such as when the purpose is simply to identify the user as a person, they are inappropriate if they promote a webpage which generates income for the owner". Since you say you use the name with the IRS and that you are a freelancer, you will need to choose a different username.  You may either create a new account, or propose that this account be renamed at Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS so that you keep your edit history. I'm even capable of changing your username if you just want to tell what you want to rename it to.
 * The sort of major change that you have done really should be discussed on the article talk page first. There may be other ways to accomplish what it is that you want to accomplish, if anyone objects. 331dot (talk) 10:50, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

I assume I responding the right way. I must say I am surprised that an editor can misunderstand this statement - "I am a freelance editor and writer, and I call myself CB3Media but I have no company by that name. I use my real name as my business officially with the IRS." But you wrote, "Since you say you use the name with the IRS and that you are a freelancer, you will need to choose a different username." Once again to be clear, I do not use the name Cb3Media with the IRS. I use my real given name as the name of my business. Look, if someone wants to argue that Sonny Jurgensen, for example, played for the Commanders I have no time for such lying silliness. Cb3media (talk) 13:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the confusion regarding the IRS. I am not arguing that someone played for the Commanders, but they are on the Commanders HOF due to the rename of the team. 331dot (talk) 14:06, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's 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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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   at the bottom of your talk page. 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. Thank you.
