Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, UniversityWomen'sClub, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. 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, which is summarized here.
Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.
  • To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
  • 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 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.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Your reason here UniversityWomen'sClub (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC) My apologies, I work for the University Women's Club and was only planning on updating the wiki page, I didnt realise that the username would be an issue and thought it would give more credence to any updates. I am happy to change the username if required.

Decline reason:

It is required. Please pick a new username. Additionally, you will want to review WP:COI. Yamla ( talk) 12:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Hi Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, How do I change the user or do you have to do this for me? Can I use something like '2AudleySq' or 'WK11DB' or does it have to be something completely different such as 'GJackson1886'.
Very kindest regards and thanks for your advice UniversityWomen'sClub ( talk) 14:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply
WP:USERNAME explains what usernames are acceptable. I suggest staying away from something so directly tied to the University Women's Club, but it doesn't need to be your real name. The instructions for making an unblock request with your chosen username are given above. -- Yamla ( talk) 14:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The name looks ok, the other thing you might want to do is explain what you intend to edit and if it is going to be somewhere you work for how you intend to edit that while following the policies on COI and paid editing so as to protect yourself and your employer from unwanted attend around editing something about you.

The plan was really just to ensure the details of the club were accurate (purely factual) and update the history of the club.
I have looked at the COI page and I believe, as long as it is clear in the editing history that it was updated by the UWC, to inform users of the origins of the information then that is okay? UniversityWomen'sClub ( talk) 15:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply
