Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Epcwiki", 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, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

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, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Etamni | ✉ | ✓  01:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Clarification: To anyone reading this, the username warning was placed because the editor has edited only the article on the Emergency Planning College (or "EPC") and the username is Epcwiki. In addition, this user was restoring spamy promotional edits first made by an IP user (likely the same user), regarding this same organization. Those edits referred to the organization in the plural first person (i.e. used the word "we") and were reverted by several different, more established, editors.
