Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group or company.

There are two issues with this:
 * You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * Your account cannot represent a group of people, as your username suggests. There must be a single person responsible for the edits made under a single account. To resolve this problem, you should change your username to one that represents you individually.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana article is about the party, but it does not belong to the party. And you should not imagine that your position gives you a special status in editing the article. Indeed, many editors believe that your conflict of interest should prevent you from editing it at all. —teb728 t c 10:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I concur this username needs to be changed to reflect the person editing, and not the office editing. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
