[edit] Username

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

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 Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: it contains admin. 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 requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators 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.

Thank you. -- pb30<talk> 03:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

This is currently under review, just so you know. If you feel the need to give your opinion here, please do so. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 11:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• I have unblocked you. However, there have been concerns that your username could be confusing, being too similar to "Administrator"; may I suggest you to choose a different one? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A thorny old problem

Dear Administer,
Not knowing the history of the article, I tried writing a better version of 'Papist'. I wrote it (and illustrated it), see this diff [1], but it got exactly the same treatment as your earlier version, which I then became aware of!!! Exempla gratia. Just thought it might amuse you. Best wishes, and Pax Vobiscum Eebahgum (talk) 19:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
