[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "MentorGroup1", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a group of people. Wikipedia accounts must only represent single individuals who do not share access with anyone else for any reason. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

- Hi, I am the teacher of this group and long-term Wikipedia editor. At Maastricht University currently a course is ongoing in what 8 groups of students have the assignment to write a Wikipedia article. As part of this course I have asked each group to assign one of the students to have the role to put the content in the sandbox. If you still think this user name is problematic, please let me know and I will guide the students throughout the process of renaming the user name. Romaine (talk) 21:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- PS: If "group" is problematic as part of a user name, an AbuseFilter should have been created to prevent the creation of such user names. Romaine (talk) 22:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- There are plenty of legitimate names that might contain the characters "group" in that order, making it a Scunthorpe problem to filter it out. Primefac (talk) 18:29, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, MentorGroup1. 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. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:35, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
