Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Gawlerwheelers", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. InShaneee (talk) 08:08, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I see you have applied for a change of username; good, Wikipedia accounts have to be for individual volunteers only, and group accounts are not allowed. One reason for that is that group accounts are usually here to promote themselves, and Wikipedia is not a "notice-board" site like Myspace or Facebook for people and groups to write about themselves; it is a project to build an encyclopedia, and is very resistant to attempts to use it for promotion of any kind. I have this conversation so often that I have written User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard to explain the issues. The links in the welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia.

Your attention needed at WP:CHU
Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. Tyrol5  [Talk]  20:53, 9 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) 15:24, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
