User:USERNAME/Tracy's test page
Hi. I presume you meant this to be a test page in your user space. You accidentally created it as an article, so I have moved it for you to User:Interactive Advertising Bureau/Tracy's test page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Your username
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: "Use of Wikipedia for promotion of a company or group is not permitted, and accounts that do this will be blocked. Use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited, but it is not recommended, and depending on the circumstances may be seen as a problem. Similarly, editing with a possible conflict of interest, such as editing an article about your employer, is not disallowed, but it is strongly discouraged; anyone wishing to do so is advised to read the Business' FAQ."

"Accounts that represent an entire group or company are not permitted; see Sharing accounts."

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.
