A reply In response to your e mail and to the question you have posted on your talk page back in November ouch Sorry this account was blocked because it is registered to the South Burnett Regional Council A regional council is a group of people but a Wikipedia account is to be used by only one person If you and the South Burnett Regional Council should at some future time part ways for whatever reason will you retain control of the account or will it pass on to your successor Due to the username the content of the userpage and your use of plural pronouns the obvious interpretation is the latter rather than the former As explained in our guidelines on role accounts this is not permitted Any and all members employees and or representatives of the South Burnett Regional Council are more than welcome to edit Wikipedia articles without registering or to register individual accounts with which to do so I do appreciate your having gone to the effort to make public disclosure of any potential conflict of interest but you re going about it the wrong way A simple public statement on the userpage I work for the South Burnett Regional Council I sometimes edit pages pertaining to South Burnett so this is a public disclosure of potential conflict of interest or something along those lines will do Normally I would offer to unblock this account if you could assure me either here or in e mail that the account will be used by only one person However since this account has so few edits it might be easier to simply start a new account s Feel free to contact me via e mail if you have any other questions I will reply here
