User talk:Berggruen-Institute-LA

December 2016[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. - GB fan 13:53, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GB fan: - just to note I have a COI declaration and explanation here - I hope that‘s ok Berggruen-Institute-LA (talk) 14:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the rules are at the German Wikipedia but here a company account is not allowed. The block on the account here will make sure that no accidental edits are made from it. This block should not effect your use of it at other Wikipedia's that allow company accounts. - GB fan 14:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
