Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  19:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

It is true that Whitehouse is a surname(see Sheldon Whitehouse) and PR could be this person's initials. However, PRWhitehouse, your name will give the impression that you are employed by The White House for public relations(PR) or just for the press secretary. Even if the username is technically allowed, it is going to cause you at least some grief as other editors will get that impression. I would encourage you to change your username voluntarily for your own sake even if you are not forced to(which I'm not convinced you should be). 331dot (talk) 14:37, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * PR, I feared this might be the case. One of the greatest burdens on Wikipedia is practitioners of professional lying, alias Public relations or just plain PR. As a result, the two letters taint your username with an aura of suspicion and distrust which I fear cannot be eradicated. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  15:32, 23 June 2020 (UTC)


 * generally speaking, giving out information that could identify you is generally not a good idea. Cool usernames are cool. Like 331dot, Orangemike, or something random. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:10, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
