Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ExamTime Online Study Tools", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it's the name of your organization. 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, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

The service this page is describing is called ExamTime but the user name ExamTime is too similar to a previous user "Examtime". As a result, I could not create the page with the title ExamTime so I labelled it as ExamTime Online Study Tools as it explains what the service provides. Would it be better to change the username to "ExamTime Limited" or another alternative.?

Are you also User:Amanda8226? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes I created the account with the wrong username so created a new account as I could not see how to change the username. I am new to editing content on Wikipedia so am not sure of the user etiquette.


 * No problem. Just abandon this account and only use User:Amanda8226. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Could I abandon Amanda8226 rather than abandoning this account?


 * This account will be blocked shortly because it's the name of an organization. So, use Amanda8226, or make a brand new one if you like. You can also change your name by following the instructions at change of username. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our 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. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 17:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
