Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "EnergytransitionGER", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it may be a promotional username. 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. -- Longhair\talk 11:44, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry, I wasn't trying to promote, it's just that my user name is the same across social media, so I thought it would be more upfront to have it be the same. I'm more than happy to change it if you think I should. just let me know. EnergytransitionGER (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello, and thanks for your prompt reply. My suspicions were raised about this account name being promotional due to an edit you made where you linked to the website of https://energytransition.org which closely resembles your choice of username. Can you advise if you have any relationship with this organisation in any way thanks? -- Longhair\talk 12:19, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Yeah I work there a few hours a week and sometimes write for them - is that ok? EnergytransitionGER (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I've just noticed the GER in your username relates to Germany, which is where the organisation Energy transition is located. I'm afraid this username is against Wikipedia policy and you'll be required to request an unblock and select a new username due to promotional edits that have taken place and the potential conflict of interest. You may be required to demonstrate how conflicts of interest could potentially harm Wikipedia before being unblocked. I trust this explains why this username needs to be taken out of service. Please take some time to review the information at Paid-contribution disclosure so you'll be able to carry on without any further issues. -- Longhair\talk 12:28, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Longhair\talk 12:28, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

This seems entirely reasonable and I'm inclined to unblock, assuming Longhair, the blocking administrator, has no qualms? Yunshui 雲 水 08:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with this unblock. -- Longhair\talk 08:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

renameed
globally renamed EnergytransitionGER to SustainableSilvia. Another will address the unblock request.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 20:32, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
