@
Shonacollabro: By "organisational account", do you mean an account that a company uses to edit Wikipedia? No, such accounts are usually blocked if discovered. An individual employee can create an account and use it by themselves though. They can show their relation to the company they're working for by using the user name "Their name at Company Name". For example, "John Doe at AwesomeCopyeditors Incorporated". However, an account that a group of editors use together to edit with (e.g. a "collab" group), or simply an account with the company title as its username (e.g. User:Micks Cleaning Service Ltd) is not permitted. Accounts should only be used by one person, and one person only. They should never be shared. --k6ka (

Cano Creations (

Please note that usernames are case-sensitive (except for the first letter); "Cano Creations" and "CANO CREATIONS" is a different username. Also, neither "Cano Creations" nor "RCANO" is a good username, because both can be taken to advertise your company/product (see the
user name policy). I recommend you to take a username based on your real name or nickname, and not to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes. -

@
Shonacollabro: By "organisational account", do you mean an account that a company uses to edit Wikipedia? No, such accounts are usually blocked if discovered. An individual employee can create an account and use it by themselves though. They can show their relation to the company they're working for by using the user name "Their name at Company Name". For example, "John Doe at AwesomeCopyeditors Incorporated". However, an account that a group of editors use together to edit with (e.g. a "collab" group), or simply an account with the company title as its username (e.g. User:Micks Cleaning Service Ltd) is not permitted. Accounts should only be used by one person, and one person only. They should never be shared. --k6ka (
