Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Drizzza", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because of WP:IMPERSONATE and your sandbox draft. 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 by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Hello!

Thank you for all the great information, I appreciate it!

In regards to the username, I am indeed Drizzza and can verify if needed, should I request to have my username changed to something else?

I've been tasked with creating wikipedia pages for a few important people and am testing it out with a biography of myself before creating the more important pages. I'll have to come back over the next few days before I get my filemover permissions and go thru all this information.

I'll update this talk again if I have questions thank you so much!

Username policy

It says in the policy that it's okay to use my stage name which is Drizzza for my account username. Should I maybe remove my real name from my sandbox draft? I'm kind of confused as to what the issue is here.

As you said, using it is fine if it is yours and you aren't making any conflict of interest edits about yourself. The sandbox article is okay, but if you were planning on moving it to mainspace, you would need it to get reviewed first through the article for creation process. I would strongly recommend reviewing conflict of interest guidelines, and if you are being paid for this task of creating articles, see the section at WP:PAY. You can disclose any potential COI's on your userpage, or the talk page of any articles/drafts that you plan to edit/create. WikiVirusC^(talk) 22:59, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
