Er, more bold. How about:

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed your username and some of your edits, and I believe there may be some issues:

  1. We have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your account is to be used for promotional purposes. Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the conflicts of interest guidance noted directly below.
  2. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you might have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, conflicts of interest are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
  • editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  • participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  • linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

...[remainder is okay]...
