 * Yes, your current username violates our username policy as defined by WP:CORPNAME. Your best option is to take 's advice and just pick a new username. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 02:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * So if something was ever used in the past as a company name, it's off limits as a WP username forever? WP:CORPNAME doesn't explicitly say, but it's using present tense so that's why I'd assumed it wouldn't be a problem. Also, I created my Wikipedia account before I registered the business name. Please don't take this as a personal attack or threat as I'm just intending it as an example, but if I registered 'FlightTime' as a business name would you be blocked and have to change your name? I'm not trying to be overly defensive, if the verdict is that I have to change my username then I will accept that, but I'm trying to understand WP's policy on this as it's still not fully making sense to me. I can see the intention of the rule, but I can also see that it allows for exceptions. In my case I'm wondering why I don't qualify for these, as for the reasons I've specified above I believe my username is clearly non-promotional. Thanks.
