User talk:Alikuosullivan

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Alikuosullivan! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Smallman12q (talk) 02:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Posting username
Saw your question at User talk:Smallman12q. The answer is, yes, it will always show your user name. If you are concerned with privacy, you can have your user name changed; there is no requirement that your user name contain identifying information about your real identity. So I would suggest you visit Changing username and follow the instructions there, if you are concerned about revealing your real name. Best, Polit i zer talk / contribs 18:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, you can create another account with a different name.Smallman12q (talk) 21:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, yeah, Smallman's advice is better.... I didn't notice before, but since you don't have many edits yet it would be easier just to create a new account and ask to have this one blocked. Changing Username is generally for people who have a lot of edits and want to keep their contributions history when they move to the new name. Polit i zer talk / contribs 00:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ye, I found it odd Politizer suggested a name change when you barely had any edits. The easiest thing to do is to request this account be closed, and create a new account. Or simply create a new account and don't use this one again.Smallman12q (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
