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.

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

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 07:58, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you declared a COI; if you are employed by Grease Monkey Games or otherwise are compensated by them, you must make the stricter paid editing declaration, a Terms of Use requirement. 331dot (talk) 07:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Would prefer to change my username and keep track of the changes! Will also make the paid editing declaration now! Team GMG (talk) 23:41, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I've executed your name change. Please make sure to publish your paid declaration on your userpage before making any other edit. To avoid you tripping over the next set of rules, on articles where you have a COI (that is, non-drafts), you need to edit with edit requests. You can use the edit request wizard for this.

I believe I won't be able to edit my user page until the block has been lifted, but will be sure to do so when I am able!

Hello, just to be clear I've now handled the technical side of your unblocking. Not sure why I didn't do this when I decided to unblock you - I can't recall if it was an error by me or by system, so apologies either way. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Grease Monkey Games (December 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Slywriter was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Grease Monkey Games and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Grease Monkey Games, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
