From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • The username of this account indicates that it is used to represent an organisation or a company, but Wikipedia policy is that an account is for an individual person, and must not represent any company or other organisation, nor may it be shared by more than one person. You should therefore not continue to edit from this account. An account name like "Anne Smith at Mega Trading Company", indicating the company you work for, but also indicating that the account is for an individual person at that company, would be acceptable, and would have the advantage of transparency.
  • Whatever username you use, you should be aware that Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest discourage you from editing articles about subjects you have a personal connection to, such as a business you work for. If there are factual corrections you think should be made to such an article, you may propose them on the article's talk page, putting the tag {{request edit}} there, to ask for a neutral, uninvolved, editor to assess your request and decide whether to make the change to the article. Also, if editing Wikipedia is part of work for which you are paid, you must declare that fact, and state precisely what your position is.
  • Finally, please bear in mind that, no matter what username you use and how clearly you declare your interest, editing which appears to be promotional or non-neutral is unacceptable under Wikipedia policy.
