Problematic username
Hey, I wanted to give you a head's up that your username is problematic per our guidelines on Wikipedia. You are not allowed to have usernames that show that you are representing a company, as per the case for Southern Oaks Publishing. However you have done the right thing by not trying to create an article about the people you represent and instead putting them on the literary request page. The only thing that you've done wrong is by choosing to name your username after your company, which you can change at Changing username. I would recommend that you change it to something that reflects yourself other than the company. I would recommend against choosing your WP:REALNAME, as that can pose some potential problems by way of real life harassment and such. I'm also going to point you towards WP:COI, our conflict of interest policy, but so far it looks like you've read over that for the most part. If you haven't, then it's probably still a good idea to check it out. Again, other than the username you've done everything that a person with a conflict of interest should do. Normally we'd block a name like this as a potentially promotional username, but you've acted appropriately and in good faith, so I'd like to give you the chance to change your username first. I'll see what I can find on the two people you requested articles on. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:22, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
