Welcome from Ioeth
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:
- Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Misplaced Pages policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.
The Misplaced Pages Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Talk Back
Username sounds like an organization
Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy for the following reason: It sounds like a role account. In addition, you should take the time to read WP:COI and WP:ADVERT.. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.
You have several options freely available to you:
- If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Misplaced Pages administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
- You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Misplaced Pages:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 15:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I first started in Misplaced Pages by writing the page on Agricultural Marketing, so when I needed a name..... This is my area of work. I work for the UN not for a private company. I use AgricMarketing for economic edits but a different name for other contributions, which are mainly about places.Agricmarketing (talk) 06:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Cool - thanks for clarifying. We get a lot of PR companies and Marketing companies that come to Misplaced Pages to promote their clients. Based on your explanation and looking at your edits, it appears that this is not the case. Please let me know if I can be of assistance. Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 13:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
