User talk:Verified.Official.Contributor

November 2020
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Verified.Official.Contributor, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over 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. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding below this notice.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:42, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To explain further: This username could imply a level of authority on Wikipedia, and confuse our readers and new contributors into thinking that you're an official contributor that edits Wikipedia as part of, or under the direct orders of, the Wikimedia Foundation. This is why I soft-blocked your account. You're welcome to either request this account be renamed, or simply create a new account with a different username that complies with our username policy. Thanks! :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
