User talk:Stoned Ducks

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Stoned Ducks! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Stoned Ducks, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the username might represent an organization or group. If it does, then please note that your username should represent you as an individual, not 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 file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 09:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello and thanks. Actually I created this user for an article about a group of people, because I thought it was the right way. So now I will continue the editing of article at User:Firmis132/Stoned_Ducks and user Stoned Ducks can be removed. Stoned Ducks (talk) 09:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for letting us know. Yes, each account should represent a single person and you shouldn't share accounts with others. Users can't be deleted, but since you've noted that this account was intended to be used by multiple users, it might be locked down. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your contributions on your account. Happy editing! -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 10:03, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * While talking on IRC before, you mentioned something about group temporary incubator or something like that. Where can I find more info about this? Firmis132 (talk) 10:13, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. -- Cirt (talk) 20:41, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
