Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DukeSchool1", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is very similar to the name of Duke School. You have edited that article, and it creates the appearance that you are editing on behalf of the school. 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, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:31, 4 January 2013 (UTC) ‎

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 18:55, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I'll leave it for another admin to officially decline the request, but even if you are the communications manager, the username is inappropriate. —C.Fred (talk) 02:29, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
