Your username
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Democrawonk", 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.

Username now full company name?
[edit]Hi, thanks for the tips. I changed the name to the full company name Democrawonk Media. Does that satisfy the naming convention? Thanks for your help. Democrawonk (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, that won't be enough as it still is a username that represents the name of a company. Acceptable would be something like "(Your first name)atDemocrawonkMedia".
Also for the link you keep inserting to the List of satirical news websites. For it to be acceptable it needs it own article on wikipedia to prove it's notability. Nobody (talk) 12:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)- Can I ask, sites like Adequacy.org or The Babylon Bee are using their brand name as it is their site and company as well. Is it that they have pages set up that they are able to do that? How am I able to display our name like Babylon or Adequacy does? Thanks again for your help!

- You would need to create a article for that. Here's some really useful information about that: Your first article.
You can start by creating this draft (Draft:Democrawonk Media) and adding sourced information.
Important to understand is that companies don't own these articles and anyone can edit them. Nobody (talk) 12:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)- Listen, I have no idea who you are, if this is your job or just a passion, but regardless, I appreciate your help. I will make that page and hopefully it will done correctly. thank you again. Democrawonk (talk) 13:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Most editors on Wikipedia are volunteers that edit in their free time, or as a hobby. Helping new editors understanding Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines that apply to them is part of that. There's also no need to rush as there is no deadline. You can just work on your draft over time until it's ready. Nobody (talk) 13:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
