User talk:Ale And Quail Club

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope that I don't 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: the username appears to represent a group or club. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your views, for instance, your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

There are several options available to you:
 * We can talk about it, here.
 * You can abandon the contributions made under this name and create a new account that meets our username policy and addresses the concern(s) noted above.
 * Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, then you should visit Changing username and follow the instructions there.

If we can't resolve this on our own, 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. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 10:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Mufka, thanks for the welcome... I had seen the policies about not trying to appear as a group, but I'd hoped that this old movie reference wouldn't come off seriously as sounding, or trying to sound, like an actual organization. But it seems enough to get your attention pretty quickly. So I guess I'll change it, to just Ale And Quail (talk).

(In fact, I created that account, then made a couple more minor edits. But cookies must have lingered on, or something, because those edits were logged under this account.  I'll try to stay switched over to the new one, now. :)
