Your user name

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "MainStreetStudio", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it may be the name of a company, and the name implies shared use, which is not permitted. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Diannaa (talk) 00:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa, I made up my username based on the fact that I'm an artist and I have a studio on Main Street. It's not a business. Is this OK or should I change it? Many thanks for your help in advance! MainStreetStudio (talk) 18:44, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. It looks like the editors who were initially concerned about your username are satisfied with your explanation. Your username is acceptable - no further action is needed from you. Thanks! --Drm310 (talk) 12:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mcmatter, I'm new to Wikipedia having created my first page as part of the Art+Feminist Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon. There were some very experienced editors on hand to provide support and review articles so I thought my page on Lorna Brown was a solid beginning? I've read through the notes on the page and I'm able to provide published secondary sources to support the material that is present and will do so as time permits in the next day or two. Does this address the concerns? Please, advise:) Thanks! MainStreetStudio (talk) 18:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hi MainStreetStudio. Articles for deletion debates typically last for a period of seven days, so there is still time for you to make improvements. If you have comments which specifically address the deletion debate, please leave them at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lorna Brown, as no one will be looking for them here.

Alternatively, you could request that your article be converted into a userspace draft. This is a draft article associated with your account, stored in the user namespace and intended to go into Wikipedia as a proper article in the future. This will give you lots of time to work on it, without the worry of it being deleted before it's ready. --Drm310 (talk) 19:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
