User talk:UNSOM-SCPAG

September 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that 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". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:53, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, UNSOM-SCPAG. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:53, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Seeking to unblock choice of username (or get guidance on what I can do to remedy this)

 * Unfortunately, a generic username like that is explicitly not permitted by policy - usernames must represent an individual, not a position. If someone else takes over your role, they will need to create their own account. GeneralNotability (talk) 12:34, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

request to change name
Hello, in light of the guidance on needing to change my name here from UNSOM-SCPAG to something else... I'd like to kindly ask for a Global Renamer to please change it to something else... I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing this right, but grateful for it to happen if possible (or to steer me in the right direction.... thank youUNSOM-SCPAG (talk) 13:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * To do that, please use and a global renamer will have a look. So you know, while "UNSOM SCPAG" or "UNSOM SCPAG Secretary" (for example) aren't allowed, names like "Bob at UNSOM SCPAG" are permitted, it just has to uniquely identify you. Not saying that you need to use that username format, just a suggestion. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:41, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

thank you

{{unblock-un|new username|reason= Hello, I'm asking for a Global Renamer to rename my account. I set it up as UNSOM-SCPAG not fully grasping the need for a unique identifier name, but some friendly and helpful souls at Wikipedia have clarified this for me. One of them said it could be something like "Joe at UNSOM SCPAG" which would be fine from my side! Not sure if that's an option or if you present some other ones, but much appreciate your help in making this happen.UNSOM-SCPAG (talk) 13:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
