Username

[edit]

Greetings. Thanks for contributing to the Rambus talk page, which is the correct method for someone with a conflict of interest. You are following the proper protocols when contributing to an article with which you have a close connection, and it is greatly appreciated!

Your username is still somewhat problematic, however. Because it contains the name of a position (Marketing), it is considered a role account. Under Wikipedia's username policy, account names can only represent a specific individual. They cannot represent a position or a group of people, and cannot be shared amongst more than one person. Please request a change of username to something that represents a single person. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 19:37, 24 July 2013 (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; 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.  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 ~~~~}} below this notice.

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 ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

The proposed account name is fine, but you'll need to respond to the follow up questions below. As there has been mo response for more than a week, I'm closing this request. Please re-post it after responding below. Kuru (talk) 14:15, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is actually permitted, but please consider this query: Here are a few key questions:

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 04:00, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  * Yes, my goal is to improve the accuracy of the existing article.
  * Yes, I plan on contributing to the talk page before making edits to the article due to my close connection with the subject.
  • Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?
