User talk:Pawtuxet River Authority

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your username suggests you have a relationship to the Pawtuxet River Authority. On Wikipedia, we don't permit usernames that imply a shared account. The rule is, one account for one person. Could you change your name to something different? For instance, "John at the Pawtuxet River Authority" would be acceptable, because it does not imply use of a shared account. Additionally, if you indeed have a relationship to the Pawtuxet River Authority, could you please publicly disclose your conflict of interest? This will not forbid you from editing, but it's best practice to disclose any conflicts of interest. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:44, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.
