Changing username
Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to |your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up as soon as possible. Thank you.  AJ Cham  03:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry I am a tiny bit confused on why the username is not ok. I do understand that it presents an image of promotion. However, if the article is strictly factual and contains sources, then is it still not okay? Also, what is the username "Microsoft" considered if that is a company name? I may just be misunderstanding the username and the article title, would you please help me and clarify. Thank you so much for your help!

 * Your username identifies you as having a potential conflict of interest, which may introduce bias one way or another to an article related to the subject of their username. For example, if someone was called "BioWare2031", every edit they made to any BioWare-related articles, such as Mass Effect or Dragon Age: Origins, would be second-guessed and likely reverted. This is usually also true even if they cite reliable sources. While that username might only indicate that they are a fan of BioWare, Wikipedia strives for a neutral point of view in everything it contains and therefore means we must be extra cautious regarding possible conflicts of interest. I hope this solves your question. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 23:24, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I do understand that. So my username should reflect me. Definitely understandable. I will adjust that immediately. As for the name of the Article, how do I change that? I'm sorry if it seems like such a silly question. I have created my article on a subpage as recommended until it is ready to be "moved" to the userpage. Now that it is, how do I do that correctly? Thank you again!

 * I just discovered the article. I'm going to move it into a separate section and delete where it is now. You created it on a user page connected to no registered user (the user Dynamic Language doesn't exist on Wikipedia). I'll move it to this userspace and I'll then search for what you need to do next. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 23:38, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, the article is now contained here. Give me a bit of time to find the relavant link for new article creation. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 23:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, two things you may want to look through first: Your first article and the more advanced Starting an article. This may also help slightly: Drawing attention to new pages. None of these are what I was looking for, though. I think I saw somewhere once where you can submit an article for review before it goes onto the encyclopaedia proper. That way, it has far less chance of being instantaneously deleted. Sadly, I can't find it. I'd suggest reading through those links though, asking for help in the right places to improve it and take a look at articles on the same sort of subject matter and see how they are laid out. Right now, the article looks a lot like an advert. However, I think that notability can be established through the awards it has recieved. Good luck and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 23:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a few things to add:
 * You asked specifically about how the username 'Microsoft' would be handled – you can see here that the user has been blocked indefinitely for use of a company name.
 * You refer in your change name request to 'our username'. As has been noted by Triplestop, accounts cannot be shared. You will still need to rename this account to make no reference to DLC whatsoever, and only one person should be in control of it – presumably you, Linda, as you have been using it so far.  Any other people that may have had cause to use the account should instead register their own accounts.
 * You should read FAQ/Organizations and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * I think the process Thejadefalcon refers to above is Articles for Creation. Usually this process is for unregistered users who want to create articles, but is sometimes used in circumstances like this too. He may also be referring to Requests for feedback.
 * Regards,  AJ Cham  07:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure I was looking for Articles for Creation, thought Requests for feedback should work too. Thanks! -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 11:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Many, many thanks to both of you for helping me and being quite understanding. I have requested feedback and will wait for the image to be deleted and upload it correctly once the article goes live as recommended. Also, I requested another user name for my account. Thank you. I was getting the article title confused with the user name. Thank you so much for your patience. DynamicDLC (talk) 15:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It was no trouble at all. I like to help out new users, so it was good practice. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 15:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocked
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:DynamicDLC/Dynamic Language
A tag has been placed on User:DynamicDLC/Dynamic Language, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 18:34, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
