User talk:MonmouthMuseumWales

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 you. 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 doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. 7 14:54, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry about the over enthusiasm above. I will have a word with the person ivolved Roison. Ploicies are important but banning our own volunteers for ever for choosing the wrong user name is obviously not Wikipedias policy Victuallers (talk) 16:57, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User was not banned - they were blocked in such a way that they could easily create another username which doesn't violate WP:ORGNAME and WP:ROLE. Let's seek a wider consensus at the discussion below 7 03:51, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I underatand the difference "7" but new users won't. They have no idea that we allow admins to just disappear someones account because they chose the wrong name. They may think that a more gentle approach like the one below might be more appropriate. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 12:16, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MonmouthMuseumWales. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name at Wikipedia:Changing username following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. 7 03:51, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sorry about this. If the stuff above seems complex then I'll change it for you if you can suggest a name - I could put WIR after it for Wikipedian in Residence or a nickname. Just write it below and I'll do it Victuallers (talk) 12:25, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I've been stuck under a pile of revision and haven't checked my university email, so I just came across this. I don't mind just putting WIR after it if that's ok. Thanks for the help Rmcurran (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm afraid I have felt it necessary to reblock this account. It is obviously in violation of our username policy, and you already have an account with a non-infringing name anyway, so please just continue to use that one. Thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:11, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I understand why you blocked the account but I don't have two accounts, this account is used by people at the museum to upload photos to the site. I'm the current volunteer using the account but in the future others may use it, therefore just because I have another account I don't think it's necessary to block this account. If I put WIR after the username would that be preferable or would I have to change it altogether?Rmcurran (talk) 20:21, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rmcurran, unfortunately we can't allow multiple people to use the same account - see WP:NOSHARE, that creates licensing problems. It would be best for future volunteers to create their own accounts to edit, rather than unblocking this one. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:42, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nikkimaria, I feel it will create bigger lincensing problems for me to use my own account as I'm not uploading pictures that are mine, I just upload them with the museums permission. I'm just helping out since I have more computer experience than the staff at the museum and I'm the first volunteer to do this so far so it's a learning curve. No other user has used this account except for me and I'll tell the museum that volunteers in the future will have to use their own accounts. But for now it does say that you can use multiple accounts with a good reason and I think this is a pretty good reason.Rmcurran (talk) 20:19, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rmcurran, it's okay to upload museum pictures from your own account so long as you're totally clear in the permission/licensing, which you should be doing no matter which account you edit from. Editing from a "role" account like this one is more of a problem. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
