February 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Multicellgenome Lab", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the name suggests a shared account among multiple users. 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 by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --Animalparty!

Welcome!

I wanted to provide a more personalized welcome. Thank you for an excellent article creation at Creolimax fragantissima. Please note that I redirected Creolimax there, since it contained a duplicate entry that I believe you created by mistake. The genus article could certainly also be created. You will need to change your username as described above, as the current username violates our username policy, but we're happy to have you here! I hope you stick around and keep creating interesting articles. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 15:46, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this how you answer?

Hello Rob and Animalparty! Sorry for my late answer (I don't even know if I am actually answering...) and thanks for the welcome.

On the one hand, thanks Rob for redirecting the entry and your revision of the article.

On the other hand, regarding the username, there will be different people uploading the texts, and we want the people who read it to know it was us, not individually but as a laboratory, as our research is the one giving further insights on the organisms we are updating. In the end, all the texts are supervised by our boss... is there any way that we can relate the account to a single person (as he'll always be in the lab, as long as it exists)? Or should I create another username with my boss's name and use that, even though he's not the one updating it?

I hope that somehow I've managed to communicate with you... thanks for your help!

Best,

Unfortunately, Maria or whomever is reading this, shared accounts are expressly forbidden by policy: see WP:SHAREDACCOUNT. Individual accounts like "Maria at Multicellgenome Lab" are permitted, however. If you will be describing and citing your own research, your lab members should familiarize themselves with Conflict of interest policy, and guidelines on citing your own work. Citing your own validly published work is permitted as long as it doesn't lend undue weight or bias to the article or subject as a whole. Care should be taken to avoid the appearance of unduly promoting self-affiliated views, researchers, and organizations. See also advice at Wikipedia editing for research scientists, Expert editors, and Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia.

Note: you can respond to individual editors by using the template {{reply to}} (e.g. @Multicellgenome Lab:), which notifies the intended person(s). Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 19:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
