User talk:Disco Drug Store

September 2022
Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Airhead (band), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Adakiko (talk) 08:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, it’s correct information as I manage Disco Drug Store! What source do you need, a link to the bands website or Spotify account? I’m not sure how to do that? Disco Drug Store (talk) 08:08, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Disco Drug Store", 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, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

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, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. ''To reiterate, your username may be against policy as it represents the name of a band. Please request a username change to a username representing you as an individual using this link or you risk your account being blocked.

Hi, it’s our band name? Disco Drug Store (talk) 08:17, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately that's the issue. You can't have a username representing a group (or band), you need to pick a username that represents only you as an individual rather than the band. This could be something like "Your name, Disco Drug Store manager" if you want to retain the association to the band, but it can't be the name of the band. Please also note the advice in the second paragraph of the notice I left above. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
