Hi, my user name Praetorian-Group denotes myself alone, an individual. I did not mean to imply that this account represents a group or organization but I now realize how that is easily construed. If necessary, I will change my username. However I'm not sure how to do that. I use "Group" to denote the visualized image of a group of praetorian guards, those entrusted with guarding the Roman emperor.

You could change your name to leave the Praetorian but add something else to the end other than Group. Or maybe "A Praetorian Guard" or something similar. That said, since you are not an actual group (I had thought this might be a business of some kind) you don't need to rush and change your name, as your statement will be seen by others who might be concerned. You could take some time and consider how to change it. Best wishes to you. 331dot (talk) 09:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
