Username - issue edit

Hello, thanks for joining Wikipedia! First, thank you for registering an account - this is a good decision in order to have your activity authenticated and traceable. However, Wikipedia doesn't allow accounts that sound like they belong to an organisation, company or a department - that's a link to a guide. I understand that there is an organisation called the "Women's Foreign Policy Network", and your account sounds like you might represent them. So it might be good to rename the account, perhaps to something specific to whoever is going to use it; you may find that this account is locked until this is completed. If you do work for this organisation, and plan to carry on editing, maybe you could change to a name like "NicolaSmith@WomensFPnetwork". Blythwood (talk) 20:17, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

September 2016 edit

 
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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

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|FPwonk|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:32, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Your reason here I was not aware of this policy and would like to request a change in username so past edits remain affiliated with this account. Please advise how to do this. Thank you!WomensFPnetwork1 (talk) 02:02, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi WomensFPnetwork1, to change your username, replace the text "new username" with the username you want. PhilKnight (talk) 03:24, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
