Best regards, Tkotc (talk) 08:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC).
- Note this little bit of advice. I suspect that you are going to run into trouble over your username. You will find it is effectively prohibited: the powers that be do not like it if your username looks like an organization's name, especially if you write the article about the organization. If you can find sufficient references to otherwise complete the article, my advice would be to (1) ask that the article be deleted. In your explanation mention that you didn't understand the rule about usernames, and you wish to set up an account with an acceptable username; (2) set up a user account under the name of the individual who is writing this article and re-create the article under that name. Don't have a username that refers to an organization. If you are affiliated with the jcs, say so on your user page. By doing this you will spare yourself much grief. You can ask more about this at the Help Desk. Tkotc (talk) 08:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- I may have misled you slightly on article deletion. It was late at night and I failed to observe this point. If the article was always on your userspace, you don't have to do anything. Just save the text to recreate it under your new username. I'm more concerned about what to do with your username and account. You can't delete an account, but there is a place to change your username: Wikipedia:Changing username. However, the policy on username changes says, "User accounts with few or no edits will not normally be renamed, as it is quicker and easier to simply create a new account." So I guess the best answer to this is, simply create a new account. Nothing else needs to be done. Tkotc (talk) 06:35, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
