Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Draft:Gordon N. Converse, and I noticed that your username, "Csmonitorwiki", 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, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, 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, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline.

I assume that "Csmonitor" stands for Christian Science Monitor. I would add that if you work for or are otherwise a paid representative of the Monitor, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to comply with the paid editing policy and declare such status. 331dot (talk) 14:54, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Name Change & Article Submission
Hello - I am an individual who works at the Christian Science Monitor, and have just submitted a request to change my name to "Andy at CSMonitor". Does that work well? Another note: I am a business manager at the Monitor, and do not do any marketing or PR for the company. This page is not directly related to sales efforts, rather it is an attempt to promote Monitor photojournalism for the first time in our long history.

Also, apologies if this is a dense question, but I've completed my draft of the Draft:Gordon N. Converse and was wondering how to submit the article for review. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

 * Your proposed username seems satisfactory. Thank you.  As I indicate above, you will likely need to comply with the paid editing policy if you are an employee.  Since you are drafting a page I assume you have reviewed the conflict of interest policy.
 * I will shortly add a tag to the page which will allow you to submit it for review; click the button that will appear in the tag. 331dot (talk) 15:22, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
