Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.
Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Request reason:

Your reason here XFoundation non-profit corporation (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2024 (UTC) My name is Madison Gerchow and I am writing to appeal the block on my Wikipedia page regarding XFoundation, which was flagged due to concerns that my username might resemble that of a corporation. I would like to clarify my intentions and provide context for my presence on Wikipedia. XFoundation (https://www.xfoundationx.org/) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN 87-4126558)created by my family in response to the tragic loss of my younger brother to fentanyl poisoning -- the number one cause of death for Americans aged 18-49. My mission is to raise awareness about the fentanyl crisis, support communities affected by it, and provide educational resources to prevent further loss of life. I do not represent a for-profit corporation, nor do I have any commercial interests. Instead, I am driven by a deep desire to inform the public about the horrors of fentanyl poisoning and to help prevent other families from experiencing the same pain my familuy have endured. I believe that sharing information about fentanyl poisoning through a platform as expansive and impactful as Wikipedia aligns with its mission to provide reliable, neutral information to the public. My goal is to contribute valuable, well-sourced content that adheres to Wikipedia’s standards of neutrality and verifiability. If the username is a concern, I am happy to work with you to address this or even change the username to better reflect my nonprofit status and mission. I are committed to ensuring that my contributions to Wikipedia remain factual, neutral, and in line with its community guidelines. Thank you for considering my request.

Decline reason:

"XFoundation (https://www.xfoundationx.org/) is a ... organization ". User accounts are for individuals, not organisations. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not the platform for your stated objectives, no matter how worthy they are. Cabayi (talk) 18:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
