Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Byron Larkin, and I noticed that your username, "OhioBballHOF", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Disclosure statement noted, but your username appears to be that of an organisation.    Tacyarg (talk) 16:41, 25 July 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. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply 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 you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that 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", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text   at the bottom of your talk page. 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. Thank you. The SandDoctor Talk 02:49, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for the clarification. I have a different username - how do I go about changing the post to include that it is from me instead? OhioBballHOF (talk) 18:00, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you please clarify what you mean? If you are comfortable sharing, what is your other username? The SandDoctor  Talk 21:35, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the confusion. I just submitted a global username change request to SFox0228. I didn't mean to violate any of the policies on Wikipedia. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. OhioBballHOF (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and accepted that request and unblocked your account. Please familiarize yourself with (and abide by) WP:PAID and WP:COI. If you are reimbursed (receive compensation) in any way by an employer to edit Wikipedia, that must be disclosed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
