Your screen name
Please note that only one person can use a Wikipedia screen name. Your name "OliveAndGus" seems to imply that two people, "Olive" and "Gus" are using this account. This is not allowed. If this is the case, one of you should go to WP:CHU and ask for the screen name to be changed to something clearly indicating that only one person is using it; the other person should open a new account.Note that both of you can use the same Internet, as long as the accounts are separate. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:00, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, OliveAndGus, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding below this notice,. Doug Weller talk 17:05, 11 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Might I suggest, since Olive and Gus are not two people but a person and a (now departed) Boston Terrier, that this existing name is entirely acceptable? --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 22:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , WP:ISU forbids names which imply shared use, not the reality of the situation. I think I've found where you get the "person and a (now departed) Boston Terrier" interpretation but going down that route would require the user to doxx themself, a worrying twist on WP:OUTING.
