:Hi, I don't believe that username violates any of the policies you outlined above. I am an individual who rows in the city of Oxford and am passionate about the sport in the city. I have noticed that a lot of articles about these topics are very out of date, hence my edits and I have started with University College. OxfordRowing is not a company, group, organisation, product, service, or website. Furthermore it is not being shared by anyone else, nor am I advocating for any company, group, organisation, product, service, or website. I do believe I am already contributing to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner. Thank you for your concern.

Your username

Hi, I don't believe that username violates any of the policies you outlined above. I am an individual who rows in the city of Oxford and am passionate about the sport in the city. I have noticed that a lot of articles about these topics are very out of date, hence my edits and I have started with University College. OxfordRowing is not a company, group, organisation, product, service, or website. Furthermore it is not being shared by anyone else, nor am I advocating for any company, group, organisation, product, service, or website. I do believe I am already contributing to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner. Thank you for your concern. OxfordRowing (talk) 21:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
