User talk:VBD503

November 2017
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. 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. Thank you. Longhair\talk 09:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Note that I may have misread your request. If you meant your username to be "VBD503 Infectious Disease Group", that would be inappropriate. You cannot have a username that represents a group, as per WP:USERNAME. If you are happy with VBD503, great! If you'd like a new name, you are welcome to request a username change! It's just, you can't call yourself a 'group'. --Yamla (talk) 17:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Oh, and Changing username describes how to change your username. --Yamla (talk) 17:17, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
