User talk:Fiona at Laurence King Publishing

Excuse the inconvenience, but you're "blocked" (prevented from editing).
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, LaurenceKingPublishing, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.'''A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions 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, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

The above is boilerplate.

If your name is Joe Bloggs (let's say), then you'd be welcome to edit as "Joe Bloggs", "Book lover", "Peanut butter and jelly", "Joe at Laurence King Publishing", etc etc. (Provided that these names haven't yet been taken. I haven't checked.) But you mustn't edit with name suggesting that you are a company.

If the reason why you're editing with the company name is that there's more than one of you, then sorry, that too is a no-no. If you wish, each of you can have an account: "Alysa at Laurence King Publishing" and "Liam at Laurence King Publishing", or whatever.

I hope that this makes sense; if it doesn't, please ask here. (Yes, as "LaurenceKingPublishing", you may still edit this page.) -- Hoary (talk) 12:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your help! Please see above for the edit.

Promotional edits
Thank you for applying to change your name. And, since you're working for LKP, thank you for choosing a name that makes this clear.

Above, 331dot asks you to read and comply with two policy pages. Please also see my recent set of minor edits to the page Laurence King Publishing. This set may not be optimal, but I think it illustrates what's wrong with having people write about the companies that employ them. If you'd like to add to the material in this article, please instead make suggestions in Talk:Laurence King Publishing. -- Hoary (talk) 23:31, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
