User talk:OfficialHadley

BWilkins I appreciate your quick response. No additional edits will be made. Please advise how I can change my username.

Username blocked
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, OfficialHadley, 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).''' 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. 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. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 06:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Before granting your unblock request, do you confirm you have read Wikipedia's policy regarding conflicts of interest and that you intend to abide by it? Salvio  Let's talk about it! 03:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that changing to a name that includes "Poole" when you're primarily editing about "Hadley Poole" is of any help in this case ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It might be the user's real name though. Doesn't Wikipedia's username policy allow people to edit under their real name?  The COI policy is still important here though.  --Tathar (talk) 18:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * While the name might be allowed, that doesn't make it the best option - especially if it might create the appearance of a conflict. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:45, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

...interesting, "Melissa Hadley Poole"...have you heard of conflict of interest? I would be willing to unblock in order for you to change your name, as long as no additional edits are made to the Hadley Poole article, unless it is done to remove items contrary to our biography of living persons policy.

 * I checked this user's contributions, and she is certainly in violation of the conflict of interest guidelines- her edits are not neutral fact corrections, but attempts to add a bias to the article. I don't think I'd support an unblock without some assurance that you're going to avoid this subject in future.  Are you interested in volunteering to help write an encyclopedia?  If you are, you're welcome here.  If your only interest was promoting Hadley Poole, Wikipedia probably isn't the right web site for you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
