User talk:WANA Forum

November 2009
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Please note that your username might be in violation of Wikipedia's username policy and I would suggest a rename so as to avoid any possible complication that might arise.. 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. Thank you. Dave 1185 13:36, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

I do not believe my username violates Wikipedia's username policy. The WANA Forum is the name of the organisation that I work for (West Asia-North Africa Forum) and I have registered with Wikipedia in order to create an article on the WANA Forum in Wikipedia. As Communications Officer, I have actually been assigned this task and I am getting acquainted with methods of creating an article on Wikipedia at the moment. If you have anymore concerns, please do let me know. You may visit our webpage for more information on the WANA Forum: http://www.wanaforum.org

Welcome!
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, WANA Forum, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 05:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
