User talk:Broward County Transit
Your username
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Broward County Transit, and I noticed that your username, "Broward County Transit", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:05, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dwpaul. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Broward County Transit, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- Hi Dwpaul. Please restore the page, as I am an employee of Broward County Transit, attempting to update content about the agency on this page. The point of reference going forward will be our website at Broward.org/BCT. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broward County Transit (talk • contribs) 20:43, 17 March 2015
- Please review my above post about your username; you will need to change it to one that identifies you as an individual(such as "John Doe at Broward County Transit") as usernames cannot be that of an organization solely. I would also suggest you review the conflict of interest policy, and if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia you will need to review the policy on paid editing. 331dot (talk) 20:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- The existing Web link for BCT is correct and formatted correctly: http://www.broward.org/bct/. The ridership figures you supplied were grossly incorrect; 2.6+ million riders per weekday? Not per http://www.broward.org/BCT/Reports/Pages/Facts.aspx. More on the order of 132,000. The infobox does not support a directors parameter. Also please see WP:COI, WP:CORPNAME and the message above. You should not be editing this Wikipedia page as an employee of Broward County Transit. Dwpaul Talk 20:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- P.S. - If you (once you have sorted out the username issue) would like to propose updates and changes for other editors to make, you can do so at the article's Talk page. Dwpaul Talk 20:56, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.
