User talk:JimJamGraphics

July 2010
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, JimJamGraphics, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a group or company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 16:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Apologies if I have violated a wikipedia policy. If I have it was unintentional. JimJam Graphics is indeed a company. However it is a company that consists of one person, myself. I am happy to change my username if it helps the situation, but would like it to be representative of my company (maybe something like JimJamG or JJG etc).
 * Some of the names you suggest would still technically violate the username policy. The short form is Wikipedia is avoiding conflict of interest issues, if you edit a competitors article or create or edit one about your own company. IMHO JJG is ambiguous enough that it should pass, on that note I would make sure you read over the conflict of interest policy I linked earlier, and welcome to Wikipedia. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 17:14, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, JimJamGraphics, 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).''' 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. 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 feel 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. -- Cirt (talk) 22:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
