Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Deutsches Spionagemuseum Berlin", may not comply with our username policy.

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".

Hello,

I have to use this username because I am Head of Collections of the Deutsches Spionagemuseum Berlin and I am uploading pictures of our objects to wikicommons. These pictures have to be connected to the name of the museum, not mine. I think they are a great addition of knowledge to wikicommons.

Hi, Florian! Your username may be fine for uploads to Commons or edits on de.wp, but is not acceptable in this project, the English-language Wikipedia, where our policy is different. If you intend to make any further edit here you'll need to request a change of username, either here or right here on this page. You can if you wish choose a name that identifies you as an individual but still links to the name of your institution, perhaps something like "FS at Spionagemuseum" or whatever you choose.
