Your account has been [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, team, club, organization, company, product, department, or website. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]].'''
<p>You should also read our [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]] and be aware that '''promotional editing is not acceptable''', regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you '''must''' [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|disclose who is paying you]] to edit here. You may also read [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects|our FAQ for article subjects]].</p>'''Please take a moment to either [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|create a new account]], or request a [[Wikipedia:Changing_username|username change]] to ''this account''.'''
*'''To create a ''new account'' with a different username''', simply log out of this account and then [[Special:CreateAccount|click here]] to make a new one.
*'''If you prefer to ''change'' the username of ''this account''''', you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page ''(this page)'': <code><nowiki>{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}</nowiki></code>.
'''Important items to note:'''
*The new username that you choose '''must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]'''.
**You '''are''' permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization ''if it also identifies you individually''. Examples include: ''"Sara Smith at XYZ Company"'', ''"Mark at WidgetsUSA"'', or ''"FoobarFan87"'', but ''{{emu|not}} "SEO Manager at XYZ Company"''.
*The new username you choose '''cannot already be taken and used by another account'''. You can [[Special:CentralAuth|search here]] to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, ''"There is no global account for [username]"'', that means it is available.
'''Appeals:''' If your username '''does not''' represent a group, organization, department, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may [[Wikipedia:Appealing a block|appeal this block]] by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page ''(this page)'': <!-- Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area. --><code><nowiki>{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}</nowiki></code>.
