I just noticed that Wikipedia has a [[Wikipedia:Project:Username policy#Company/group names|policy of not allowing organization names as usernames]]. I think this makes sense - it avoids any potential problems of an individual seeming to represent an organization, and it later turning out that they didn't represent an official position of the organization. | |||
Using an individual username might also help people to relate to Appropedia as individuals, and feel a part of the community. | |||

Organizations and usernames
I just noticed that Wikipedia has a policy of not allowing organization names as usernames. I think this makes sense - it avoids any potential problems of an individual seeming to represent an organization, and it later turning out that they didn't represent an official position of the organization.
Using an individual username might also help people to relate to Appropedia as individuals, and feel a part of the community.
