Your account has been blocked from editing Bharatpedia because your username does not meet our
username policy.
Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.
Per the username policy, a username should represent an
individual and
should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a
"Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on
conflict of interest and the policy of
paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.
You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our
username policy guidelines and
create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your
existing contributions to carry over 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. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.
Appeals: If, after reading the
guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may
appeal this block by adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}} on
your user talk page.
