User talk:Edinburghvideoguide

January 2013

Hello, I'm Mlpearc. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Edinburgh, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Edinburgh, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Edinburghvideoguide", 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 have the appearance of shared use. 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 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. Mlpearc (powwow) 03:56, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

The first thing I suggest is to go to Wikipedia:Changing username, choose "Simple" and request to have your username changed. You can check here: Special:ListUsers and enter your "new" choice of username to see if it's available, and continue with the name change request. If you have any questions you can email me again, leave a message on my talk page or seek other help at our Help desk. Cheers, Mlpearc (powwow) 19:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account if you wish, but if you would prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice instead. Thank you. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:51, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
