User talk:Lanark Grammar School 3

August 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Lanark Grammar School 3, does not meet our username policy. Usernames which relate to real world organizations and groups are disallowed.

You are still welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, though you will need to do so under another username. Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:

 * 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 list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Changing username.

Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidance explain the limitations you will have to obey if you want to edit or add material about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, you should consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.
