Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Scrc students) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be used by a group of people, the Special Collections Research Center, at NC State. Each account should represent a single person and not be in the name of an organization. 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 to use for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 23:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I'm new to Wikipedia so I'm not sure if this is where I need to be writing this .... I'm only one student working on this account. I just wanted to be honest and let Wiki users know that when I'm finished working that someone else may use the name. I hope that you're able to keep the citations and references I contributed, as I think they are thoughtful and helpful for many Wiki users. I will create an account under my name. NCSU SCRC is an authority on NCSU history and I just wanted to improve Wikipedia's knowledge of NC State and, of course, provide users citations where they could find additional information. SCRC is non-profit and I'm just trying to improve Wikipedia! Thanks for the warning - If I had seen it I would have responded before we were blocked.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for having multiple users on one account (see WP:NOSHARE for more information). If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Danger High voltage! 00:40, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

 * You're in the right place. Your contributions are, as far as I can tell, quite good and I thank you for them. They almost certainly will be kept. The issue here is that for copyright reasons each account must be linked to exactly one person, so after you are finished working, it would not be permitted for another person to take over the account. I highly encourage you either to create a new account or to change the name of this one. If you choose to change your name, then your old edits will still be credited to you. If you'd like to do that, let me know by posting here again, so I can unblock this account.
 * Thank you very much for your contributions.
