User talk:Alaskantroller

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Alaskantroller", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it uses the string "troll" in a way that may lead other editors to expect that you will edit disruptively. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you Daniel Case (talk) 19:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC) I am an Alaskan salmon fisherman, using a method known as trolling. My username reflects my profession. I had not considered the affect the name would have on others.


 * You'll have to forgive my colleague, there aren't many of us Alaskans editing here and he was probably completely unaware of Trolling (fishing). I don't believe this name is actually a violation of any policy, although it could lead to similar misunderstandings in the future. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
