User talk:Cyclescheme

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Cyclescheme, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; 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.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

msellick2010 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Decline reason:

You already have an account Marksellick. As that is your primary account, active since 2008, that is the place to ask for a username change. Although it may be accidental, this account is technically a sockpuppet. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 14:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to change the existing username 'Cyclescheme' to 'msellick2010'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclescheme (talk • contribs)

You're aware that your conflict of interest means you should avoid writing on topics related to Cyclescheme?

Please take the opportunity to review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (especially the sections Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to avoid COI edits and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Editors who may have a conflict of interest) as well as Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. -- Rrburke (talk) 16:38, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The usual reason for granting a change in username is when you have quite a few edits, and want the history to transfer over to the new user name. As you have very few edits, it doesn't make sense to go through the bureaucracy of doing a name change (plus, the block will also follow you in the history)It would be better to just create a new user name, such as msellick2010, and begin editing with than name.--SPhilbrick T 16:39, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...although the name change does make it easier to ensure that the editor is more readily following the WP:COI guidelines as they edit later on, and for that reason is preferred (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:01, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
