User talk:Paul Greenaway

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Greenawayartgallery, 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. Daniel Case (talk) 19:58, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Question: You appear to be associated with the gallery you were adding mention of to articles, to infer from your username and suggested new one. According to WP:COI, users are not to edit articles with which they have a conflict of interest. Would you agree to being unblocked if you do not make edits relating to Greenway Art Gallery? - Vianello (Talk) 02:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * There can be no *our* username at all, as organizations are not allowed to have accounts at the English Wikipedia. Paul Greenaway can have an account of his own if he wants it (though it does not have to be in his real name), and other individuals from the gallery can have their own accounts too - but everyone must comply with Conflict Of Interest and Paid Editing policies. The organization as a group can not have an account under any name. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I've renamed this account from Greenawayartgallery; Paul Greenaway must be the one using this account now. Please review WP:COI and WP:PAID. Would you agree to not edit about your gallery- as well as state what it is you do want to edit about? Please place your response below this comment, and it does not need to be formatted as an unblock request. 331dot (talk) 11:32, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Blocked
As you have ignored the warnings above and are clearly only interested in writing about your gallery, I have reimposed the indefinite block. You were warned repeatedly about WP:COI and WP:PAID and have continued to violate them. --Yamla (talk) 11:28, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
