:I have renamed your account as requested, and unblocked you since the main reason for your block was the non-compliant username. Welcome back. Please review the conflict of interest (COI) information posted on this page, and take care to comply with it, including avoiding directly editing the [[Ann Nderitu]] article; you can instead make edit requests via that article’s talk page, or by using the wizard at [[WP:ERW]]. –[[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]] ([[User talk:DoubleGrazing|talk]]) 07:04, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Ann nderitu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ann Nderitu, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation‘s terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jiltedsquirrel 🌰 (talk || contribs) 17:47, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Ann Nderitu, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Hi Jiltedsquirrel 🌰,
Thank you for your message and for keeping an eye on the page. I completely understand your concern. However, I made the edits with direct authorization from Ann Nderitu herself, who requested that her Wikipedia page be updated to reflect her current official role and accurate biographical details.
If needed, I can provide confirmation or communicate through the appropriate Wikipedia process to verify her consent for these updates. My intention was solely to ensure the information remains accurate and up to date. Ann nderitu (talk) 18:31, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As you mention you are getting authorization from Ann Nderitu for the edits you are making to the article about them, this indicates that you have a conflict of interest with respect to the article Ann Nderitu. There are guidelines (WP:DISCLOSE) about how to disclose your conflicts of interest in editing this article on behalf of the article subject. If you are being paid to make edits to Wikipedia, you must disclose this conflict of interest under the Wikimedia Foundation’s terms of use, including who is paying you and any relevant affiliations.
There are guidelines in the Username Policy about editing using real names as usernames on Wikipedia (WP:REALNAME), which you may wish to review, as your username implies you are Ann Nderitu, not that you are editing on their behalf.
Please review the information included in the Conflict of Interest note I left at the top of this section for some more links you may find helpful. Any edits you wish to make to the article are best handled through edit requests, which can be done by using Template:edit COI on the article’s talk page with clear descriptions about what you want to be changed.
It may also be useful to take a look at the FAQ for article subjects if Ann has concerns about the article’s content. Jiltedsquirrel 🌰 (talk || contribs) 20:39, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Ann nderitu, either matches, closely matches, or implies that this account belongs to – a well-known living person.

If you are the actual person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking accounts with such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You are welcome to continue editing Wikipedia using your account’s current username, but we highly recommend that you have it changed to a different one first (see information below).

If you decide that you want to use this username to edit Wikipedia and do not wish to have it changed (not recommended), please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org and include both your full real name and your Wikipedia account’s current username in the body of the message. You will receive instructions from our volunteer response team about our verification process shortly afterwards. Please do not include or send any kind of documentation without being requested to do so first.

If you are not the actual person represented by this username, you will need to choose a new username before you can resume editing Wikipedia (see information below).

Please note your account’s username should not be promotional or related to a “real-world” group or organization. It also cannot be misleading, violent, offensive, explicit, or disruptive. Usernames also cannot end with the word “bot” unless the account is an approved Wikipedia bot.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

  • To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then 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): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

  • The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia’s username policy.
  • The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can 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 is not in violation of Wikipedia’s username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. — Newslinger talk 11:36, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, since you are not Ann Nderitu herself, Wikipedia:Username policy § Real names does not allow you to use “Ann nderitu” as your username: “Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are (or are related to) a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name.” Please follow the instructions above to obtain a new username, and please review our conflict of interest guideline to understand our expectations for your edits related to Nderitu. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 11:40, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
