User talk:Ovpa

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 for the following reason: contains the term "admin" which may imply a position of authority of which you do not have. 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. Tiptoety ^talk 18:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I administer the site www.OVPworld.org and my email is ovpadmin - and so it makes sense to me to use that login here. - thanks Simon.

Okay, but you are not editing at www.OVPworld.org, but instead here at wikipedia, and our username policy states that you can not have the term "admin" in your username unless you are a administrator on this site. Unless you change it, you will be blocked. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. Tiptoety ^talk 19:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - What would your suggestions be - and how do I change it? and then how do I change the two edits I made such that they are visible. - Thanks

You could change it to Ovpa ? To request a username change, please fallow the directions here: Wikipedia:Changing username, and once your username is changed your edits will be moved to the other username. Tiptoety ^talk 19:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for changing your username, it is very much so appreciated. Let me know if there is anyway I may be of further assistance to you. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 22:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
