I don't like it blank, you know?
[edit] Username
[edit] My concern about your username
Hello, Dancebot, and welcome 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. 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. Real96 02:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, your username violates WP:BOT, because it has the word "bot" in the name. Could you please create a new account? Thanks. Real96 02:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey man! Thank you so much for your contributions; you've only made a couple, and thus far they are great :) The only problem with your username is that it ends in "bot", suffix generally reserved for actual bots. Since your account is all new, it's generally suggested that (as real96 mentioned) that you register for a new account that doesn't conflict with our username policy. Hey, keep up the good work :) GracenotesT § 03:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
