Username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your changes to Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "WCBCConnected", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 20:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel there is any promotional activity on the Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp page, feel free to remove or rephrase it. --WCBCConnected (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I share Drm310's concerns with your username and suggest your consider changing your account name. While you are welcome to edit as an individual, usernames which indicate that you represent a particular organization are not allowed.--RadioFan (talk) 22:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested to change my username --WCBCConnected (talk) 00:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, WCBCConnected, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
