User talk:Presence Engine

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Antipartyinc", 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. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 21:26, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. I can confirm that this account is operated by a single individual (not a shared or organizational account). I’m contributing in an unbiased, research-oriented capacity and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia’s neutrality and conflict-of-interest guidelines. The username change request was made simply to align with the subject matter I work on, not to promote any product or organization. Antipartyinc (talk) 23:48, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I don't see that you've filed a request for a change of username in your contribution history. "Antipartyinc" does unambiguously represent the name of a company, organization ... which would make it not permitted per WP:ORGNAME. You may request a change of username at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple, a username like "Jean at Antipartyinc" would be policy compliant.

Additionally you may want to be aware of the guideline on the use of LLMs in discussions, WP:AITALK. Thank you. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 00:05, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

I will try to submit again. I did follow the directions and it said it would take some time. Antipartyinc (talk) 00:54, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

Just making sure everything is in good standing now? 2600:1700:1188:B8BF:3D2D:B71:F826:A03D (talk) 11:07, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

I see now I shouldn’t use “Presence Engine “ either. My mistake. Can I request to rename the account as my name? “Tionne Smith” or “TSmithResearch” ? Antipartyinc (talk) 11:16, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Antipartyinc, since it appears you used the email process at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, I'm unsure of the status of your username change request, it sounds like "Presence Engine" may have been denied based on WP:ORGNAME grounds also.

A username like "Tionne Smith" appears to be fully compliant with the username policy so long as it is not impersonating anyone. "TSmithResearch" may be acceptable, but it may be viewed as representing an organization, "ResearcherTSmith" would likely be unambiguously accepted.

Should you wish, you can visit the Teahouse to ask questions of the wider community. Thank you. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 13:02, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I am definitely want to do the right thing so I will make sure that I change it to something that is non-promotion and abides specifically by the guidelines. Antipartyinc (talk) 13:04, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
