Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Wild Welfare, 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) and continue editing.'''A username should not be promotional, appear to represent 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. However, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. 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 below. 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 "Email 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 think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:50, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Queries
Hi there SBWW2012,

The username is, I think, okay, but I just wanted to ask one initial question,


 * 1) Do you work for/formally volunteer for Wild West? You can write about it either way (or just as an interested individual), but it will affect the specific details I give you to avoid future problems? Nosebagbear (talk) 23:45, 9 March 2020 (UTC)


 * REPLY - Hi Nosebagbear, thanks for the reply. Yes I do work for Wild Welfare. SBWW2012 (talk) 08:45, 10 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick response SBWW. Could you read Paid COIs and let me know whether you'd be willing to add the required disclosure to your userpage once you were unblocked (I can add it if you have technical difficulties)?
 * You're fine to edit about Wild West in either your sandbox (as you are) or in a draft, but it's worth saying now that if/when it becomes an article, at that point you'd need to propose edits on the talk page rather edit it directly. Once you've finished writing a draft it will need to be submitted for review to become an article "articles for change", but that can be discussed when you think you're that far.
 * I've had a read of your sandbox, and I do have some concerns with it, but I don't think the writing is an attempt to spam promotionalism, so we can discuss that as well.
 * - this was just a username block, but as the blocker could you take a look on that (I know acronymic names cause some disagreement on this front, but I didn't feel it indicated shared control) and also whether you're otherwise fine with an unblock once disclosure is agreed?

 * , I do not object to the current username or an unblock, as long as the editor complies with WP:PAID and uses the Articles for Creation process. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  15:51, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
