User talk:IAMarketing

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: suggests a role account used for promotional purposes. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Hello

My apologies for not meeting the criteria, I'm sure you can tell that I'm new to this. I work for a company called Intelligent Addressing. It was brought to my attention that whilst the products we manage are explained on this site and our public partner also have an entry, our company does not. My intention was simply to explain what Intelligent Addressing does, when it was founded etc and provide a link to our company website and our product website so that people can find out more about it.

I use wikipedia regularly to look up bits of information and find it very easy to search. However, as an interactive site it seems bogged down in red tape - for example, how to reply to a thread on the talk page - i have resorted to clicking edit on your response - which I'm sure is not the correct protocol.. username to pick - can't use my name or company name or field i work in, so i presume random letters is the way to go - but when clicking on change username was not redirected to somewhere I could input old user name and new usernam twice... how to create an article succefully - not quite sure why it was deleted.. Is there a quick guide for any of these?

Would appreciate a little guidance taht doesn't mean reading rheams of guidelines as this is the ONLY post I want to make on wiki - which until this experience I loved as my first port of call for explanations!! Help?

 * Instructions are at Wikipedia:Changing username. There's no reason you can't use your real name (as Daniel Case does), or a nickname you're known by (as I do). You should not be writing about your company or its products, as thats' a conflict of interest; write instead about fields in which you have knowledge and no COI. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
