[edit] Answer about: My concern about your username (MyBuddha)

Hello, Sorry. by using this username, I did not want to offend anybody, and will be very happy to change it as soon as I have some time (because, it seems to be so complicated to do so, I did not have time to get into all the text about it), if it was about: as simple as "change and renam" I would have done it a long time ago. Any way, knowing the very open minded way of thinking by Buddhists, I am sure I would anyway not offended them, by using this username: for me it is more a (light) hommage to Buddha Himself.

[edit] My concern about your username (MyBuddha)

Hello, MyBuddha, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. 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 Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 02:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC) -Hit bull, win steak^{02:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)}

[edit] RFC discussion of your username (MyBuddha)

Hello, MyBuddha, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 02:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Your username has been blocked indefinitely because usernames of religious figures such as "God", "Jehovah", "Buddha", or "Allah", which may offend other people's beliefs are not allowed on Wikipedia. (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username. Wikipedia:Username provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may appeal on your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions: (1) Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. (2) Soon, an admin may come to unblock you. (3) You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or concerncs about this. -- No Guru 04:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
