User talk:John Ryan at SchuF

February 2019
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SchuF Group", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to imply shared use. Usernames must represent individuals. 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 by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 14:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, SchuF Group. 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.

Also, I have moved the article you were working on to Draft:SchuF Group. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:54, 27 February 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) 19:54, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

No, that is still the company name! Please amend your request to choose a name that represents you as an individual. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:29, 28 February 2019 (UTC) {unblock-un|John Ryan|reason= I would like to change my username to John Ryan.}

"John Ryan" is already registered. You will need to choose something else. 331dot (talk) 14:15, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Krapfen already exists too - you can use Special:CentralAuth (the "account availability check" link in the template) to check if a username already exists. There's no need to make a new unblock request, just edit the one above. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:42, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid Manima is taken too. You do not need to make another request, simply edit your existing one. 331dot (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This must be somewhat frustrating for you, repeatedly trying new names which get rejected for one reason or another. In fact there is an account called "Manima" on English Wikipedia, but there is one on Ukrainian Wikipedia. At one time it was possible for different editors to have the same name on different projects, but that caused some problems, and it is no longer allowed. To avoid wasting time on suggesting another user name that is already taken, click on this link, type the user name you choose into the box, and click on the button labelled "View user information". If there is no account with a name you have chosen that will produce information about the account, and if there isn't then it will come up with a message in big red letters saying "There is no global account for" [whatever user name you have chosen].
 * I have a suggestion for a user name. You could have "John Ryan at SchuF", which would be perfectly acceptable under Wikipedia's user name policy, as it would show that the account is for an individual and not for the company as a whole, but at the same time it would show your connection to the company, which in my opinion is a good thing for the purpose of transparency. I have also checked that the user name is not already in use, so that problem is out of the way. That name is just my suggestion, which you are free to accept or reject.

How do I ensure the page is posted? Can you advise me on what to do in order for the page to be made live? Thank you.
