Username issue
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Victory Puzzles", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a manufacturer of wooden puzzles in southern England.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * Hello - I am the owner of Victory Wooden Puzzles Ltd - we have registered the brand name Victory Wooden Puzzles and have re-established this brand that is over 100 years old but stopped making puzzles in the 1980s. Victory Puzzles (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Information.svg Hello, Victory Puzzles. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I guess that I may have a COI being the owner of the brand, but the only change that I have made is to update that the brand has been re-established and I have added a URL to the brand website. Will that still be published or will it revert? Victory Puzzles (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It has already been reverted. There probably needs to be a discussion about whether you reestablished the company or created a new company with the same name(even if you obtained the rights to the name)- look at Cleveland Browns relocation controversy.  What independent reliable sources say should be taken into account as well. But before we get there, you will need to change your username immediately; please visit Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS to make a username change request; usernames cannot be that of any organization per the username policy.  Once your rename request is processed, you will need to read conflict of interest and paid editing and make the required disclosure("paid editing" is not limited to specific payment for edits, and involves any financial relationship). 331dot (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have requested a new username.
 * We re-established the Victory trade mark for wooden jigsaw puzzles - The brand was first established by G.J Hayter & Co as specified, but we have now re-established the brand in the original company's hometown of Bournemouth under a new company Victory Wooden Puzzles Ltd. In our About Us section on our website we include reference to the original company: https://victorypuzzles.com/pages/about-us I can't imagine that this edit would not be eligible. Please advise. Thanks. Victory Puzzles (talk) 20:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
