Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BoardOfReview", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be the name of a group, and also might suggest you have some sort of official status on Wikipedia("Wikipedia Board of Review"). 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 this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 07:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

The user name derives from Board of Review (Boy Scouts of America) and is not intended to suggest a connection to any official status on Wikipedia. BoardOfReview (talk) 16:49, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I still must ask you to change your name, as usernames cannot be that of any group or organization per the Username policy. If you wish to indicate being part of a group in your username, a name in the format of "YourName of BSA Board of Review" would be acceptable. You don't have to use your real name, just something unique to you alone. You may simply create a new name and abandon this one, but if you want your edit history to be transferred to a new name, you need to fill out the form linked to in my first post. If you haven't or don't wish to provide an email address, you can make a request at WP:CHUS. I would strongly suggest that "BSA" or "Boy Scouts" be a part of the name to reduce the chance people think what I initially thought about your name.

If you are editing on behalf of the Board of Review, you will need to review the conflict of interest policy. If you are a paid representative of the Board, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to review and comply with the paid editing policy. 331dot (talk) 08:14, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

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 or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

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. Orange Mike | Talk 02:39, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
