Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Schulzmuseum! Thank you for your contributions. I am NatGertler and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Nat Gertler (talk) 00:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Problem with your user name
I don't know who at the Museum I'm talking to here - I've met a fair number of you over the years - but I am glad there is someone from there on here. I'm about to drop a pre-formatted message on here, which may make it sound like you did something wrong, but its really nothing to worry much about. Wikipedia has it's own rules and they aren't all predictable, and one of those rules is that your user name is not allowed to make it sound like you represent a group or organization, such as the museum. So you can pick something all Schulz-friendly if you want (we don't have a user named Woodstock, for example), but it can't be Schulzmuseum, and if someone else at the Museum wants to edit, they have to use their own account. Changing your user name is fairly easy.

That was a good and useful edit that you did, by the way, and thank you for that. (As a tip for the future: don't mark the edit as "minor" if you're changing any of the information. We prefer to reserve the "minor" marking for things no one could object to, like fixing a spelling or adding a missing space, silly stuff like that.)

If you have any questions about working with Wikipedia, feel free to either post a message on my talk page (you'll see a link to it at the bottom of this message), or give me a call. I'd be glad to help you navigate this strange wikiworld. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:43, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Schulzmuseum", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because we do not allow user names that appear to represent groups or organizations.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 00:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our 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. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 14:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
