User talk:Nepean Hunt

March 2014
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "CaRMS CA", seems to imply that you are editing to promote an organization, product, or website. You may not use Wikipedia to advocate for or promote any company, group, institution, product, or website that you are affiliated with, regardless of your username. I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline.

Also, the English Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jprg1966  (talk)  15:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Response to your note
Hi, thanks for the note. This isn't a shared account so I don't think a name change is needed? Also, I'm not promoting anything - simply providing additional information about the organization. CaRMS is a non-profit organization in Canada.
 * You still need to change your username. See WP:ISU. It would be OK to have a name like "bob CaRMS", but not "publicity CaRMS". Note that you still have to be careful about making conflict of interest edits. Meters (talk) 16:42, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your help! I'll try to figure out how to change my username to something more generic.

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) 18:02, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * As noted, I've accepted the unblock request and completed the change of username request, as well. Please remember to use "Nepean Hunt" when logging in from now on; it may help to log out and log back in with your new username, just to be sure. Thanks, and happy editing!

Thank you! I'll get the hang of this eventually!
