User talk:Anna (Bay Staatsoper)

December 2019

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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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. 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.

 Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:55, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I realize this is probably unexpected and surprising, but each Wikipedia project has it's own rules, and the English Wikipedia is somewhat more restrictive than some other projects about what kinds of usernames it allows. We also do not allow role accounts or shared accounts, each account should both represent and be controlled by a single individual. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:58, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Name

Beeblebrox, I received a message regarding this user on my German talk page. What can they do now? Ask here for a rename? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Well, there's two concerns here, one is the username itself as it represents a group, and the other is this edit seems to imply that the account is a shared/role account. Renaming will only fix the name problem, so probably the easiest course of action is to simply create a new account that both represents and is controlled by a single person. It can still contain the name of the opera company, so long as there is a personal identifier of some kind, i.e. <name>@Bay Staatsoper would be fine. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:16, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
