Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created User:NPMSO/sandbox, and I noticed that your username, "NPMSO", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you Revent talk 12:28, 30 August 2014 (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) 16:52, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Appeal to change my current username to one that complies with Wikipedia's username policy
That's excellent. But just consider this:

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 14:31, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Appeal to change my current username to one that complies with Wikipedia's username policy

 * Neither of those names are acceptable. "North Pacific" is still overly connected to what you're writing about, and "Scientific Collaboration" implies a shared account, which isn't allowed (both the shared account and the name implying it). Your name above (Anna at NPMSO) is acceptable, though. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 22:52, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

OK, you got the name part right here. But still:

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?

 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy.
