Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "LuxbrushMedia", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. 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".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Thank you for bringing the issue with my username to my attention. I am an individual, and I can understand why my username has raised concerns after reading the explanation. I selected this username because someone else had already claimed "Luxbrush" by itself. Additionally, I sometimes use an email with the same name for newsletters and other media. Therefore, I thought "LuxbrushMedia" would be a suitable choice, as I was unable to secure "Luxbrush." Please inform me if, even after this explanation, my username is still considered unsuitable. I will follow the instructions provided earlier to make the necessary changes if so. LuxbrushMedia (talk) 07:37, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, I think your username may still be confusing to other editors when they come across it, despite your explanation. It would be best if it made it clear that you were an individual. Uhai (talk) 13:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Would "LuxInscribe" be suitable? LuxbrushMedia (talk) 15:48, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks fine to me. Uhai (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your assistance. I have submitted the request to change my username. LuxbrushMedia (talk) 17:12, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I'd give you an update.
After I submitted the request to change my username, they responded, mentioning that "LuxInscribe" also contained a business name.
As a result, I submitted a new request immediately afterward, but they haven't responded to me yet.
