Your username[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Glasgow Gaels GFC, and I noticed that your username, "GlaschuGaels", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 12:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Glasgow Gaels GFC has been reverted.
Your edit here to Glasgow Gaels GFC was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/glasgowgaels) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:18, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

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. Thank you.

Request reason:

Please change my username to JTGlaschuGaels as this is a personal account but did not want to use my name. I would greatly appreciate it as I have done a lot of work on the wikipedia page updating citations etc...and do not want it to be lost. Thank you

Accept reason:

Rename completed. Please note if you are receiving compensation for editing on behalf of Glasgow Gaels GFC you must disclose this on your userpage. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure#How to disclose for more information — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the policy on disclosing your employer etc. I am NOT employed by Glasgow Gaels. It is a volunteer (100%) organisation that is completely amateur. None of our staff are paid. I am a PRO and was simply updating the site. This has turned out to be a HUGE hassle and I am not happy that our wee club who is just trying our best is suffering because of confusing and undermining policies. Please advise on how to fix this, unblock my account, and allow the changes which I spent a great deal of personal time making (and a great deal of time trying to sort out this issue). Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.227.196.21 (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MusikAnimal: Are you going to unblock the account? Vanjagenije (talk) 19:18, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, I renamed but didn't unblock! You should be able to edit freely now. Sorry about that! — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:20, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
