User talk:UHCS Communications Team

August 2020

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, UHCS Communications Team, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice,.

Important

The block on this account is based on the user name and you are free to register an account with a user name that does not violate Wikipedia policy. It's important to understand that editing articles with which one has a close association is discouraged. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. If you want changes made to the article please take your ideas to the article talk page and let other editors who do not share your conflict of interest determine if the edit is necessary.

Requested username:

Fiona McBurney from Communications Team at Upper Hunter Shire Council (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Decline reason:

While this is an acceptable format for a username, this name is far too long. Please find a way to shorten it to 40 characters or less. I might suggest "Fiona McBurney of UHCS", but something similar would be okay. 331dot (talk) 01:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed your duplicate request; when making one, you should just click "edit" and not "new section" and place your request in the larger edit window only, not the smaller edit summary window. 331dot (talk) 01:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will add that if you intend to edit about your organization or something related to it, you will need to read and make the formal declarations required by the paid editing and conflict of interest policies. You should avoid making direct edits to articles, but you may make formal edit requests with regards to COI related subjects. 331dot (talk) 01:05, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
