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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". 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. 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. Thank you.

Hi Blade of the Northern Lights,

Apologies for violating the rules that is my fault for not reading.

I just want to query with you regarding that rule for this occasion.

The account is intended to represent the school/organization. I am the IT Technician for Wye School and I was given a goal of creating a shared account to manage all public facing social media for the school. The account (perhaps you can see this) is registered to socialmedia@wyeschool.org.uk. I've used this account to create entries for the school on Twitter, Tik Tok, Google Business, Wikipedia etc etc. The idea being that the school can manage all of these services from a shared account and be notified if anything was to be edited for example on Wikipedia that was damaging to the school and its interests.

I suppose the short version of what I'm asking is, given that the account does represent the school as a whole would I still need to identify myself (Chris Jones) in the username of the account even though its a shared account and might well not always be me who does the editing?

Any advice welcome

Kind Regards

Chris Jones
