Username change
Hi, I created this account by accident - you will absolutely need to either change this account name or request a new account. The reason for this is that this username implies that it will be used by more than one person since it comes across as the name of a class or location as opposed to say, a specific person such as "Jane at Global Women Career Lab". I'll post a message that will give some instructions on how to rename the account. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 09:13, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

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.

 * Hi, User:Shalor (Wiki Ed)! Looks like Bettina is planning to edit on her own but would like to use this account name. This is her research name, so it's the one she's more recognized by in the real world. Do you think it's a problem, since she'll be the only one using this account?

 * Hmm... the biggest issue is that since it's ultimately an initiative, there may be some pushback from the community since it'd still come across as a group account. I'll run this one by my colleagues and see if they have any advice. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Just realized that you are one of my colleagues ! I've asked on Slack about this to get some general feedback. Offhand one possibility is that there could be a note on the user page explaining the account name and that it's not going to be a group account and all of that good stuff.
