  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Drawingforkids", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 03:23, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm new to this and I've requested a personal name instead. Thanks Drawingforkids (talk) 03:40, 7 July 2013 (UTC) Oh - one more question - how long will it take for it to be changed- can I still log in with this in the meantime? Drawingforkids (talk) 03:41, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Drawingforkids. It could take up to a few days and yes, you can still log in with this username in the meantime. But please read our conflict of interest guidelines and refrain from linking to your site. --NeilN talk to me 03:45, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
