Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple, and I noticed that your username, "MainStreetRelief", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:10, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Username change request

[edit]

Hello. I have rejected your username change request because requested username was also violation of username policy, so please read that policy page and request again. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question on user name

[edit]

Hi there, thanks for your help and guidance! I am trying to set up a Wiki entry for a nonprofit Main Street Relief: https://www.mainstreetrelief.com/

I helped start the nonprofit but I am not paid - it is all free services for small businesses during COVID. I put in MainStreetRelief when I wanted Main Street Relief. I'm not sure I understand the guidelines and would be grateful for any guidance on next steps. I am new to Wikipedia. Thank you! MainStreetRelief (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again, well you are more than welcome to setup that page but you are misunderstanding usernames with article names. We allow article on a wide range of topics as long as they passes our notability guidelines and you can go here for article creation steps but for usernames we have different guidelines. In this issues we are tying to guide you to follow username policy. As stated above we do not allow usernames that represents companies or more than one person. However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA". So please choose a username that follow the policy and request username change here. Once again welcome to Wikipedia and Happy editing! ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
