Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "FlipTheList", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it might represent your edit-a-thon or a group of organizers. 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.

 * Hello FlipTheList, thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia. However, accounts may not be shared among multiple people and should always be individual accounts for only 1 user. Your contributions are greatly appreciated, but it would be better to choose a username that is clearly individual (a username like Joe#FlipTheList or MarkAtFlipTheList would be appropriate for example, or any other anonymous individual username). Please follow the links in the above message to request a username change, and feel free to ask on my user talkpage or at WP:Teahouse if you have any further questions. By the way, if you haven't read it already, How to run an edit-a-thon might contain some useful information for this kind of organized improvement drives. Best regards.

 * Thanks for this note - this account was intended as a bit of an administrative/catch-all account for the initiative, especially to help keep track of new pages (on the user page), but I can understand the confusion and now how the implication of sharing is against the username policy. And thanks for providing some good info and options. If I keep using this account to edit I'll take a look at the username change form! FlipTheList (talk) 16:48, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Please make sure to request a name change before you do any further editing, and thanks again for your contributions. GermanJoe (talk) 09:02, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


 * You can request a name change at Changing username/Simple. gobonobo  + c 17:56, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


 * - please request a name change as discussed. Group accounts are not permitted on Wikipedia, not even for purely administrative purposes. Thank you for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 06:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Right, will do. This is not in fact a group account but I will submit the request now. Thanks for your patience and the reminder. FlipTheList (talk) 17:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Request submitted - thanks again! FlipTheList (talk) 17:54, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It does not appear to have been enacted for some reason. Please request again or post your preferred username here and I can help rename your account. -- The SandDoctor Talk 00:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks much for following up. Could we change it to EnvHistScholar?FlipTheList (talk) 15:13, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * My apologies for not seeing this until now (thank you for the post on my talk page). Following your request, I have gone ahead and renamed your account. Your login username will now be EnvHistScholar, effective immediately. Your password is unaffected and the same as before (to clarify: I never knew what it was and don't want to, I am just letting you know that it is unchanged). I sincerely hope that you decide to stick around our little project and am happy to assist however possible; please drop me a line on my talk page if you ever have any questions. I am a big supporter of editathons and happy to assist coordinators of those as necessary/desired. -- The SandDoctor Talk 00:19, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That's quite alright, thanks so much for your help with this. I really appreciate it. And thanks for all the support! I'll let you know if I have any questions. EnvHistScholar (talk) 04:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am glad that I could assist and you are most welcome! Do feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need any help/have any questions -- The SandDoctor  Talk 06:33, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
