Hello, Blue Whale Capital. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

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. 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. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, that name is taken. Pick another and edit the above template with your new choice. PhilKnight (talk) 22:00, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi PhilKnight, I created an account [Blue_Whale_Capital] which was blocked for reasons outlined by Ed. I understand I can associate the edits made by [Blue_Whale_Capital] with another account using the above template?
 * Yes, that's right. PhilKnight (talk) 22:35, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually no, different accounts cannot be "associated with" each other. Since you already have another account, you can use that to edit and abandon this one. You can put a note on your user page (User:IronsE11) to clarify that you also edited as User:Blue Whale Capital, but the attribution of edits cannot be re-assigned to a different account.

Thanks PhilKnight and Huon. Apologies I am very much a novice Wikipedia editor. As I would like to retain my previous edits under account blue_whale_capital, could I please change the username as follows:
