User talk:Adinstruments

March 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Adinstruments) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is ADInstruments. Thank you. | Uncle Milty | talk | 22:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Waiting for username change request to be completed. ADInstruments (talk) 00:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that you've yet posted a username change request at WP:CHU. Or are you having someone do this via email? Daniel Case (talk) 02:37, 23 March 2011 (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; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. 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.

Hi Daniel. We tried to do it via the username change request page. Maybe that was in the wrong spot. :-( ADInstruments (talk) 23:36, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just create a new account with a non-controversial name Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere! ^(Whisper...) 11:51, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "we"???? We don't permit collective or group accounts of any kind here. Only individual specific human beings can have accounts and do editing. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
