Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your userpage.Sincerely, Ramesh Ramaiah talk 13:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
June 2012[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I noticed that your username (Interteq) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because [1]. 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, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Mlpearc (powwow) 05:27, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Concerns about your user name[edit]
About your username, it is against Wikipedia policy for a username to represent a company or a group. The relvent policy can be found here: Company/group names, As you state on your userpage [2] INTERTEQ is a company or group with a commercial website, which you seem to be closely related to or are promoting. Also Usernames should not infer multiple users as the account of the company or group does, that revelant policy is here: Sharing accounts. There is a remedy for these issues, you can request to change your username here: Wikipedia:Changing username but, be sure the new name you chose is not already taken, this can be checked here: Special:ListUsers.

Concerns about your user name -- response[edit]
INTERTEQ® is actually a federally registered trade mark for my company goitic.com, which I commonly use as a login etc to websites. But, I see your point that it could violate the promotional clause of the user name policy. My apologies for that and I am going to submit a change request for the username. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.164.247.11 (talk) 14:34, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
