[edit] My concern about your username

Hello, مفقود, 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. Elenseel 22:19, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reply

Hi, i am not sure that i am replying in the right way since i just joined the Wiki, so if not please let me know.

i did not understand what worries you about my username so i will clearify the following:

1- it is in Arabic 2- it means LOST 3- it is the user name i use in my blog

let me know if you require further information

Kind Regards

I am well aware that it is Arabic, seeing as I can read Arabic myself. The main reason that I informed you is that Wikipedia , specifically en.wikipedia.org, is an English website, and that you should use an identifiable username, for those who can't understand Arabic. That is all. Elenseel 22:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I see your point and i will Consider changing it, thank you for your understanding
