Request reason:

I would like for this page to be unblocked because this Wikipedia account will solely be used by one person. I am the Director of Online Media and Engagement for my sorority, Alpha Sigma Rho. Because I hold this national position, I am responsible for the portrayal and online presence of our organization. When I created this account, I use the organization name, but I put my personal email. If necessary, I will change my username to identify with the personal email used. Just to re-iterate, this Wikipedia account will only be used by one person (me).

Decline reason:

You are not allowed to use a username that appears to represent an organisation. Accounts on Wikipedia are for individuals only, and using an organisation name makes it LOOK like an 'official' account for the use of the organisation. You don't have to connect your user name to your email or use your own name - most of us don't say who we are directly. Peridon (talk) 10:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

So essentially, I will need to delete my account to start over since I cannot edit my username, correct?

Decline reason:

No, you have to either abandon this account and start again, or use the {{unblock-un}} template and suggest a new name (if you do that, click preview instead of save, and then use the check availability thing). Changing name (once a suitable one is suggested) is quick and easy - just follow the instructions on the green box (which comes when a suitable name is OKed here). Accounts cannot be deleted - not by you, nor me nor even the stewards. It's not been built into the software, on purpose. Peridon (talk) 15:05, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Choklatgeisha (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Accept reason:

OK - I'll go with that. Just remember that promo isn't allowed. Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Scroll down to Simple and do what it says. Peridon (talk) 18:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please read WP:COI. Just in case... Peridon (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority → Choklatgeisha

Current name: Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Choklatgeisha (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
For global renamer: rename user
Datestamp: 18:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Reason: Request to rename username as I was unaware that usernames cannot represent organizations. I fully understand and acknowledge why I cannot keep my previous username. Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority (talk) 18:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you've done that - but that should be at WP:Changing username/Simple not here. Try again. Peridon (talk) 18:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had to post it back to my talk page because I am not allowed to edit any other user talk page. The only options given to me was to copy and view the code. Unless there is a different way for me to save it, I'm not sure how to save it on the following page.

Sorry, my fault. Try again now. BTW please sign talk page posts with ~~~~, which may look silly but it puts your sig and the datestamp on. Peridon (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it. I was able to submit a formal request. Thank you! Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority (talk) 21:11, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do much unblocking and sometimes forget that posting the green box doesn't actually do the unblocking as well. It can't be combined, as anyone can post the green box (and sometimes people who are blocked do - and are rather disappointed...). Another tip - to indent, type a : at the start of a line for one step of indent, or more to go further. Never type a space at the start of a line, because strange things happen like all the following text going straight off sideways and changing font as well. Don't ask why this happens - someone must have had a use for it once. Peridon (talk) 09:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
