  Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Draft:Manchester Collective, and I noticed that your username, "Manchesterclassical", 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, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

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, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Hello,
I understand your concern. I choose the name Manchesterclassical because I am live in Manchester and have an interest in classical music. I do not represent any sort of organization and am an individual. I also have no personal or professional relationship to any of the articles I have written. If it would still be best to change my user name I'd be happy to do so but I figured I would explain that I am not violating any policies in terms of representing an organization or biased source.

If I had saw this before you changed your username, I'd been okay with it. But ya know, your new name is okay, too.   I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 15:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've decided to change my name anyway to remove any confusion about being an organization. RothkoChapel (talk) 14:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
