Please change your username
Estate of Ernst Haas, I've looked at your edits to Ernst Haas, and while I can make some criticisms of them they are not obviously promotional and it's clear that your presence here is beneficial. So far, so good. Please do stay and continue to contribute. I'll also assume that you are indeed acting on behalf of Haas's estate; if this seems legalistic, please remember that anyone here can claim to be anyone, and one can easily imagine battles among different claimants (real? disputed? entirely bogus?) to the name of "Estate of Miroslav Tichý", for example. The simpler problem is that an estate is not a single person, and only individual people may be usernames here. If there are two or more of you using this username, then each of you should have and use a username of his/her own. If (as I'd guess) only one of you has used it, then you should get a username that does not purport to be an organization (even if you really do represent an organization).

Please see this for more.

With your new username(s), you're welcome to edit the article about Haas. But you should say on your own user page(s) that you are related to the estate, and should avoid edits to the article that might be seen as promotional.

I hope that this is clear; if it isn't, please either (A) leave me a message or (B) add "" below, adding your question beneath it. -- Hoary (talk) 01:28, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
