User talk:Halifax Grammar School

August 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Halifax Grammar School", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 14:35, 22 August 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.

Are you sure you really want to use your real name? Particularly given your role as an employee of a school you might want to consider whether you would be better with an anonymous name. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:01, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am generally not a fan of anonymity online.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Halifax Grammar School (talk • contribs)

You may not be, but most contributors here are anonymous and it is entirely possible that someone (maybe even students at your school) will choose to use that anonymity to harass you. It's your decision. QuiteUnusual (talk) 22:28, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this up. I do appreciate this concern.--Halifax Grammar School (talk) 12:59, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for resuming your promotional editing after your previous block, for which you were unblocked for a username change, but did not go through with the change, instead choosing to resume promotional editing. This is still a violation for the same reasons it was before..

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note that your choosing to resume promotional editing without changing your username, when you were unblocked previously on the condition of changing your username, does not reflect well on your conduct. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:21, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
