User talk:MikeAtOoma

Welcome!
Hello, Ooma Comms Team, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 01:57, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Ooma, and I noticed that your username, "Ooma Comms Team", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:29, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Username implies shared use
Hi, your username seems to imply shared use. I recommend choosing a name like "Mike from Ooma" instead; the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest is probably the easiest way to do this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:31, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * After you have requested a rename, please take a moment to confirm the requested name change here on your user talk page, as the form is non-public, but we also need a public confirmation that you have sent the form. Thanks in advance! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:33, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, have you requested a rename yet? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:48, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
