User talk:Waterloo EDC

April 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.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Oshwah, you blocked the page but I didn't realize I violated guidelines, I am a requesting a name change to keep the account as I do have some areas I would like to edit. So hoping I'm doing this right... Can you please change or let me know how to change the user name?

Your suggested new username isn't an improvement, your new username needs to be for an individual not a profession. PhilKnight (talk) 23:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
