[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. 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.

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:Usernames for administrator attention 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 Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Cheers, Lights (♣ • ♦) 00:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Three-revert rule

Hello, I'm posting here because you appear to have violated Wikipedia's three-revert rule, according to the evidence given at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:Dan_Rutherford__reported_by_User:Pharaoh_of_the_Wizards__.28Result:_user_warned.29. If you undo other editor's actions more than three times within a 24 hour period, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Since you do not seem to have been warned about this rule, you will not be blocked at this time, but please familiarize yourself with the three-revert rule. Note that no editor is entitled to three reverts per day, and you can be blocked for fewer reverts if your editing behavior is judged to be disruptive. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
