Conflict of interest and username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Ethereumclassiclabs", 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, 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, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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, 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 this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:23, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

-> I am changing to ETCLabs, thx. Ethereumclassiclabs
 * I think perhaps the above wasn't clear enough. An account that is used by a group of people is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Further, you have a direct conflict of interest with regards to the subject of Ethereum Classic, and your editing of that article would be strongly discouraged. If you want to create an account that represents you, and only you, and contribute to other areas of the project where you do not have a conflict of interest, you would be most welcome. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:21, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I do not have a conflict of interest, i am a normal wikipedia user. The notive above suggest i could use something like "FoobarFan" - i think "ETCLabs" is more than complaint with Wikipedia policy, i've requested the username change already. Ethereumclassiclabs (talk) 14:35, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that "ETCLabs" is not compliant with the username policy per Hammersoft's comments. You have also not formally requested the username change. As a global renamer, I have to say ❌ on your request. Please pick another username after reviewing WP:UPOL and its WP:ISU subsection. -- The SandDoctor Talk 06:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Ethereumclassiclabs, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.
