September 2010

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, StauntonRecreation, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies the intent to promote the Staunton Parks and Recreation Department. Please note that user accounts may not be shared.. 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. -— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 15:16, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Am I able to change my username? Yes I work for Staunton Parks and Recreation, but we are here for the Staunton Community which I'm basically just putting the information out there for people to see. Just putting a link to our website and a sentence about the broad things we offer the City of Staunton Residents.StauntonRecreation (talk) 15:21, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do the change of username now. Thanks! StauntonRecreation (talk) 15:22, 17 September 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}. Thank you. - Dank (push to talk) 15:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Had username change request in two minutes before being blocked.

Request handled by: ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan!

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

OK. That was a quick block and unblock. Glad you got this fixed quickly. Let me know if you need any help. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 16:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Staunton, Virginia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:20, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:32, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how I am advertising with a link to the website and stating a "fact" that Staunton Parks and Recreation has leagues and tournaments.HoneyBear2010 (talk) 20:08, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
