User talk:Tim Schneider at PBS Wisconsin

June 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "PBS Wisconsin", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because name appears to be for a group, rather than an individual.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Please note that Wikipedia only allows one person per account. If this is a group account, then you must not use it, and get individual accounts for each person. If it is only used by one person, then that is fine and you can disregard this notice. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 16:37, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. My thought was that one person from the organization would be editing and eventually adding Television content related to PBS Wisconsin production. Please let me know if I've not gone about setting up the account in a way that allows for this. Thank you! PBS Wisconsin (talk) 16:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website – I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply 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 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. Alexf^(talk) 13:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
