Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw how you edited or created Stamps.com, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Stampscom", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 23:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dori,

I would like to change my username, but I am not sure how to do it. I was able to find the page showing username guidelines, but I cannot find the place to actually change my username. Can you guide me to that page?

Thanks! Eric

Hi, and welcome. The username you've picked seems to represent a group, organization or website, so I blocked it per our username policy, but don't let that discourage you: please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. If I can help you with anything, please ask on my talk page. Thanks for your understanding. - Dank (push to talk) 19:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops, I just saw your request to change username ... just create a new account instead from that link I gave you, it only takes a moment, and you have less than 5 edits. - Dank (push to talk) 19:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
