 * If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is.


 * Wikipedia policy is that a user account is for one person acting in their personal capacity, and accounts representing businesses, organisations, groups of people, or web sites, as apparently in your case, are not allowed. A user name such as "International Cabbage Agency" is therefore not permitted, but a name such as "Karen at the International Cabbage Agency" is fine, and has advantage of transparency regarding the affiliation of the editor while also indicating that the account is an individual one.
