That would be better. But can you tell us your thoughts on this:

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 19:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Let me clarify this. I am not related to any company or promoting any group. I want to edit a few articles on which I have specialised knowledge. It is unfair that I am being denied a suitable username with which I wish to be identified. If you see all the articles edited by me (and the contents of my edits), you can clearly see that I am not violating any of Wikipedia guidelines mentioned above. Lastly, am I allowed to log in atleast the last mentioned username rrbk ??? Graminbank (talk) 15:13, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Nothing wrong with your proposed user name. Your contribution history does suggest some sort of an association, however. Would you please disclose (as you are required to do by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of service, to which you agreed when you created an account) what is the nature of your association with one or more of the various Gramin Banks that you have been writing exclusively about? If you are not related to the Gramin Banks, are you working for a public relations firm or other company on their behalf? ~Amatulić (talk) 18:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

I am a researcher in the field of banking and finance. Currently I am studying the evolution of gramin bank. By writing for wikipedia, my own knowledge in the field also improves. Graminbank (talk) 14:17, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
