Username issue
Your username seems to reflect the name of a program at University of Connecticut (or perhaps an insurance company?), so i am providing you with the following notice:

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "UCONNLLM", 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, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

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, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change 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.

SPA/ COI in wikipedia
Hi UCONNLLM - I've noticed that you have added almost identical text to several different articles, all citing the same paper. (Marcos Antonio Mendoza, "Reinsurance as Governance: Governmental Risk Management Pools as a Case Study in the Governance Role Played by Reinsurance Institutions", 21 Conn. Ins. L.J. 53, 65-67, 102-107 (2014) http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2573253)

This makes your account what we call a "single purpose account" (please see WP:SPA)  I'd like to call your attention to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline and other relevant policies for editors with a conflict. Please do read the links in the notice below (especially the link at "conflict of interest"), and please follow them. These policies and guidelines exist to ensure the integrity of Wikipedia; the community takes them seriously and we ask you to as well. If you have any questions, you can leave them here - I am watching your page. I also have some questions for you below.

Hello, UCONNLLM. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Question
Hopefully you have read WP:COI and especially the section on writing about yourself and your work. I am not asking you to disclose any personally identifying information, but you would please disclose if you have some relationship with the authors of the paper you have inserted several times into Wikipedia, or with groups that provide insurance or set up pools? thanks.
