Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (Elementalwiki) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Elemental Productions. Thank you.--Drm310 (talk) 19:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I am new to Wikipedia and was not aware of all the rules. I have read up on the guidelines. I would appreciate if some editors would go into my pages and edit them to ensure there is a NPOV and rate them on their quality and importance. If the content is deemed problematic please either edit it or delete the page. Thank you for your help in advance. --Elementalwiki (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Elementalwiki. Regarding your request to have your username changed, I've noticed that the target name (VisiPrisma) was created on May 13, 2012, so I wanted know if you created it yourself. If that's the case, and you don't mind the contributions you made with the name Elementalwiki be left behind, you may just abandon this account and use the new one exclusively. Please let me know here or on my talk page so we know how to proceed. Best regards — Frankie (talk) 19:23, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Frankie, I put in a request for a user name change to "VisiPrima" but I did't create a new account under that name. Should I just abandon this name and create a new one? I don't plan to use this username anymore. Many thanks for your help. Best regards, --Elementalwiki (talk) 20:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I'm confused, since I had already written a response to your previous post, where you said you had created the account. Just to clarify, are you the owner of the existing account VisiPrisma? (i.e. do you have the password to login as such?). It might be just an coincidence that someone else did it, in which case you can choose another name, and I'll update your request. After a rename your contributions, including the contents of this talk page, will become associated with the new name, so you wouldn't be "sidestepping" anything — Frankie (talk) 21:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Frankie, I didn't make a new account with a username and login so someone else must have done it. I thought you meant if I had requested the username. Please change my name to "ApiLalat" if it's available. Thanks! --Elementalwiki (talk) 21:30, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I've updated the request, now you just need to wait until it is completed by a crat. Remember not to login as Elementalwiki anymore after that — Frankie (talk) 22:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your help, Frankie.--Elementalwiki (talk) 22:39, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
