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.

Thank you. CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 22:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Its a name that I use and am known by a number of sites I use that are related to Rushden & Diamonds Football Club, so when making any changes, my fellow fans know who is making changes to the article. I don't believe it infringes wiki policy since it has not previously caused offense and is not intend to. Nor does it try to promote an organistation or company since the initials RDFC are used freely by a number of individuals and organistations for various different things. In this respect, I use them to unique identify myself for the reasons outlined previously. If you still have concerns, I will change it.--MadDogRDFC (talk) 10:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
