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.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 23:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I blocked your account because its username, Strategicmarketingrcc, looks like to me to be referring to the "Strategic Marketing" Department at Rockland Community College (usually shortened to RCC). Because the username refers to a department, it is a violation of the username policy as it implies shared use. You can request an unblock request with your new username using {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 00:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

I have fixed your unblock request so it displays the username you requested. To reviewing administrators, there were no issues with this user's conduct, so after a rename I suggest an immediate unblock. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 20:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
