User talk:White Oak Library District

March 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "White Oak Library District", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.  Cameron11598  (Converse) 20:46, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello! I am very new to using Wikipedia and as such, I am not totally acquainted with all of Wikipedia's rules or guidelines. I see that it is indeed against Wikipedia's rules to edit a page of an organization under that organization's name; my apologies! I only wish to create a page for the White Oak Library District and will gladly switch to a new username in order to do so. I apologize for the rookie error. Whatever violations I committed were merely the result of being too eager to jump in without knowing enough about the site first. I will also do more reading of Wikipedia's rules and guidelines. Thank you.

 * No big deal, just fill out a user name change request, or create a new account.  Cameron11598  (Converse) 21:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding. I created a new username. Thanks!

Because you created a new username this account has been closed due to username policy. A standard blocking message follows below:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead 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 prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 14:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
