User talk:Ex2golem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The specific problem in this case is that user names containing "bot" are reserved for actual bot accounts, which you don't appear to be. Thank you. Deor 23:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Deor.
Sorry that I have not responded sooner, and I hope that editing this page is the appropriate way to respond. I would never have guessed that "bot" would cause a username conflict. I'll be glad to change my username since, as you discovered, I'm not actually a bot. I was thinking about ex2wetware though that doesn't exactly flow off the tongue.
Your comrade in wiki,
ex2[awaiting amendment]
