If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. You should also consider a change of username; your current one promotes your station. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:28, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly how do I change my username? Your policies stay neutral if editing something regarding your organization...did I not follow that guideline? WNGZ (talk) 05:36, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, WNGZ, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because explicit use of a name or url of a company, group or product as a username is not permitted. Your username should represent you. Accounts that represent an entire group or company are not permitted; see Sharing accounts. Since usernames that are the name of a company or group create the appearance of intent to promote that group, accounts with a company or group name as a username are indefinitely blocked. You will need to carefully follow Wikipedia's guide to editing with a conflict of interest.

I am sure that you can contribute a lot to Wikipedia. However, you must follow the policies. Also, as stated above, since your account cannot represent a group of people, You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes. Otherwise, you will be have your account blocked. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to Leave me a message. I look forward to seeing your positive contributions here! Avicennasis @ 14:54, 13 March 2010 (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 few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message. Thank you.

WNGZ (talk) Tim - I realize you have more time for this than I do. So, hopefully you will do what you didn't do before and read my question...how do I change my username when you blocked me?
