User talk:Weisman Art Museum

Hello
Thanks for your contribution to the Frank Gehry article, which was helpful. You should know, however, if you intend to continue editing Wikipedia, that institutional names such as yours are not allowed under our policy, which you can read at WP:Username policy. The general rule is that the name must be attached to a specific person ("One person, one name"), so something like "Gail at Weisman Art Museum" is fine, but then that person (Gail) is responsible for all edits made under that name. Obviously, we can't reach through the internet and insure that only Gail is using the account, but if Gail lets Paul use the account, and Paul violates our policies, it's Gail who is responsible, and Gail who would be blocked or banned should it come to that -- so it's best for Gail to keep her account to herself, and let Paul create the account "Paul at Weisman" (or whatever).

It's probable that nothing will happen now -- although any administrator can, if she or he thinks it's warranted, stop you from editing right now with a username block -- but if you're going to continue editing, you really should go to WP:CHU ("CHange Username") and request a change of name to something of the form I indicated above. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:11, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I see that an administrator has indeed username-blocked you, so please follow the instructions on the block notice below. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:41, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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. Neil N  talk to me 17:20, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
