[edit] My concern about your username (ShowmarkGroup)
Hello, ShowmarkGroup, 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?
This is the name of a business and/or website.
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.
- You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
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! RJASE1 Talk 16:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi RAJSE1,
In response to your request for more info about my username: ShowmarkGroup. Myself and a few other people are experts in the field of variety entertainmetn and our company works closely with many variety acts across the world. We chose ShowmarkGroup becuase we all collectively will be able to add/edit contributions to wikipedia on an ongoing basis. That's all. I hope this clears things up. If you really want me to, I can just change to my last name or something. thanks. Let me know.
- I think that would be a good idea, as many people might see your current name as promoting your business. However, I strongly urge you to read the guidelines on conflict of interest and spam. It's probably not a good idea to create or edit articles about acts or performers associated with your company. RJASE1 Talk 16:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nickandalex.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] AfD nomination of Doubble Troubble
An editor has nominated Doubble Troubble, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doubble Troubble and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.
