Welcome![edit]

Hi, Abscollective1. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Declined deletion[edit]

I have declined the proposed deletion request you made at Angelia Bibbs-Sanders, on the grounds that the subject of a Wikipedia article does not have ownership or editorial control over it. I have observed that the article was created and heavily edited by another user that appears to have had a conflict of interest, so those edits will be subject to some scrutiny. However, if the subject is shown to be a notable person and satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for biographies of living persons, the article will remain.

I will also inform you that your username represents a business, which is not allowed under Wikipedia's username policy. You will have to put in a request for a change of username, or your account will be blocked on those grounds. Even if you change your username, you will still be obliged to follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, and rules on paid editing. --Drm310 (talk) 20:37, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

June 2016[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Abscollective1, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:

  1. Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
  2. Please send an e-mail to info-en@wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

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

  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. 5 albert square (talk) 23:45, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
