Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Raw.com", 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. Missvain (talk) 22:02, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Missvain, thanks for your welcome and feedback. I'm not actually new to Wikipedia, but I guess some recent activity triggerred your responses. My username is indeed the same as my domain name, which is my sole proprietorship, based on my human initials. I did not pick the name for Wikipedia as a commercial statement. "raw" is my preferred handle, but at the time was already taken on Wikipedia, so I used "raw.com", which, similarly, I had done on gmail before that, for the same reason. If there is a reasonable way to change my username without disassociating myself from my past activity, I can do that. I'll look into it. Richard A. Wells (talk) 00:52, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
