My concern about your username
Hello, 4a6f656c, 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.

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 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 Administrator intervention against vandalism 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 Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! Blueboy96 16:45, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Username
My username (4a6f656c) is simply hexadecimal for the ASCII values that make up my real first name (Joel). I've double checked the username guidelines and I don't see how this would be in violation of the username policy. It's just the standard "handle" that I use for most things of this nature.

 * OK, thanks for the clarification. I'm not much of a math whiz, so I didn't know.Blueboy96 17:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. It's nothing mischievous or sinister anyway! :) 4a6f656c 17:08, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
