Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created
Judith Collins, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Jc press sec", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are
promotional or accounts that are
shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to
create a new account or request a
username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our
conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. §

Hello, Polkad0t. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with
policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it
at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name at
Wikipedia:Changing username following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. §

Hi, Jc press sec. I was one of the folks who commented in that discussion about your username. First, sorry for all the irritation this all must cause. Admittedly we come down far too hard on editors in situations like this. In the interest of putting the name issue to rest, I'll tell you what I would do in your shoes:
Go to the page WP:CHUS and follow the instructions at the top of the page. Once one of our people changes your name, log out of your new name and re-create the "Jc press sec" account so nobody takes it after it is deleted. Then go to the user page of that account ( User:Jc press sec) and save the following text on that page: #REDIRECT [[User talk:New username here]] (with your new username in the red). This will merely redirect people to your new user talk page if people try to access your "User:Jc press sec" page. Then just log out of the Jc press sec account and never use it again.
Note that even though the CHU instructions say your old account will be deleted once you're renamed, sometimes the system doesn't actually do it—so if it says the Jc press sec name already exists when you try to re-create it, you are good to go and you don't have to worry about the whole re-creation process.
Any questions and I'll be more than happy to help on either this page or my own talk page. NTox · talk 23:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
