User talk:Microsoft97

September 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Microsoft97", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it unambiguously consists of a name of a company, group, institution or product (see WP:CORPNAME).. 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. Tgeairn (talk) 00:51, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry I had no idea! I will simply make a new account with a different name. Microsoft97 (talk} 21:19 29, 29 September 2013 (EST)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Microsoft97, 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 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. Alexf(talk) 17:43, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
