User talk:Hepatitis B Foundation

January 2015
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Hepatitis B Foundation", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I am with the Hepatitis B Foundation. We are interested in creating a page with you. I'm trying to navigate the site and create one as we speak.


 * Wikipedia's username policy states that you may not use a username that represents the name of an organization. However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "John at the Hepatitis B Foundation".


 * Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote your organization, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 18:30, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Hepatitis B Foundation, 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 on your user talk page. 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 "E-mail 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 the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
