Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SierraBriefings", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a business. 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 by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:45, 5 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Using only what's importantly relevant t would be best and, if there's licensed consent for it, then it can be used, yes. But overall, the best things to use is major independent news coverage itself and not ones that are simply republished PR as we'll still consider the one and same primary sourcing.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, SierraBriefings, 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. -- The SandDoctor Talk 01:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
