Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Mortgagescope", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and usernames which are the names of groups or organizations are not permitted. 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. Please note also that Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind; before editing on any matter concerned with yourself or your business, you should read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

 * I believe you are right about my username as it is my business name. I will create a new account Mortgagescope (talk) 11:38, 26 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Good, thank you! You can select a name based on your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any group or organization, or of another real person. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 16:50, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
