User talk:HWPS

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, HWPS! Thank you for your contributions. I am CambridgeBayWeather and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:03, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

If an article is already in the mainspace it does not need to be moved to draft space to work on it. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "HWPS", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. The Bushranger One ping only 19:51, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Your username
Hello HWPS, it appears that have verified your account on the German Wikipedia. While the German Wikipedia allows users to have a username that represents an organization, the English Wikipedia does not (see above). You may choose a new username, e.g. "X at HWPS" (which clearly identifies you individually), and submit a renaming request at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. If you do not choose a new username, and continue to edit here, your account may be blocked from editing on the English Wikipedia. Thank you. intforce (talk) 20:32, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

September 2021
 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Longhair\talk 21:38, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
