From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Philip@holcot.com,
Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Wikipedia:Changing username in order to prevent abuse. However, if you have very few or no edits, it might just be easier to create a new account.
If you need any help, simply contact me on my talk page, or go to Wikipedia:Help desk. Another option is to place {{helpme}} on your own talk page, and someone will come shortly to help. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). Again, welcome! Daniel.Bryant 07:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Response to email
I am responding to your email, regarding a change in username. I see you have listed it at WP:CHU. Morew-than-likely, the change will be approved, however there may be a 2-3 day delay (at most, normally about 1). Just wait and see :D Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 08:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
