Welcome
 Hello, BerkleeOP, and Welcome to Wikipedia!  Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

Additional tips...


 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

BerkleeOP, good luck, and have fun. – —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:29, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

I would like to formally declare a paid affiliation. What would be the steps in completing this? Also, how would you go about editing with a conflict of interest? Pages edited would be involving Berklee Alumni and recent recipients of honorary Doctorate of Music degrees from Berklee.
 * Please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information. 331dot (talk) 17:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

December 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. 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 does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:24, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Your selected name is still not acceptable. As I state above, please choose a new username that identifies you as an individual user. I've also suggested a format you can use if you wish to indicate your affiliation with Berklee in your name.  You don't have to use your real name, just something unique to you that indicates you and only you are using this account. Please ask if you have any questions. 331dot (talk) 17:47, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Username does not represent an organization anymore
 * Globally renamed 'BerkleeOP' to 'Groovymusic'. Just Chilling (talk) 17:55, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Please indicate that you have read WP:COI and WP:PAID(if you are a paid editor, as in an employee of Berklee). 331dot (talk) 17:56, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Your username is now acceptable, please answer the questions I pose above; you can simply post below, as only one unblock request is needed at a time. 331dot (talk) 19:44, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Before using the template to formally declare your paid affiliation, simply discuss it here, please, first. You will also need to indicate what articles you intend to edit, and how to do so with a conflict of interest.  Thanks 331dot (talk) 19:35, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
