User talk:Carla at SRFF

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created User:SilkRoadFilmFestival, and I noticed that your username, "SilkRoadFilmFestival", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:07, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your attention needed at WP:CHU

Hello. A renamer or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 14:47, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, SilkRoadFilmFestival, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

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:

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.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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.

Accept reason:

(see UTRS appeal #13825) - the new proposed username meets the letter of our username and attribution policies, and as an added bonus makes an explicit declaration of conflict of interest, and such transparency is always encouraged. The user has been warned about promotional editing, but I will repeat here that you must make sure to read, read, understand and abide by the policies linked to here: WP:ISU. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've filed the request on WP:CHU/S on your behalf and will unblock your account as soon as it is processed. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
