User talk:NHBuchanan

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for undisclosed paid editing, in violation of Wikipedia's Terms of Use, and your username indicates that the account represents a group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. You should read the guide to appealing blocks first.


 * I've done the rename (from User:ResearchTeam), and someone else will review your unblock request. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:49, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Boing! said Zebedee, Neil H. Buchanan seems to be a public person. Would you agree that we'll need him to provide evidence via email (I expect an email from the university email address to WP:OTRS explaining that this is Prof. Buchanan will suffice; see WP:Impersonation for details)?
 * NHBuchananWikipedia, I apologize for the bureaucracy, but you'll appreciate that the point is to prevent some random person from falsely claiming to be you and impersonating you on Wikipedia. Huon, yes,good poin (talk) 21:54, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Huon, yes, good point - we'd need some form of ID confirmation via OTRS. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:13, 31 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It's just been pointed out to me that your new name is also problematic as it contains "Wikipedia" and that is disallowed by WP:MISLEADNAME. So I'll have to ask you to make a new request to change it again. Sorry for the confusion. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 05:01, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
