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. In brief:

There are four kinds of usernames that are specifically disallowed:
 * Misleading usernames imply relevant, misleading things about the contributor. Misleading names include those that imply you are in a position of authority over Wikipedia, or those that impersonate other people.
 * Promotional usernames are used to promote a group, company, product or website on Wikipedia.
 * Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible.
 * Disruptive usernames include outright trolling or personal attacks, or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia.

I think your username may be a problem under one or more of these headings (you can find more details at Username policy), and this needs to be addressed.

There are several options available to you:
 * We can talk about this, here - if you're not sure how or why your username might not meet policy, disagree that there's a problem, or are not sure what alternative to use.
 * You can abandon the contributions made under this name and immediately create a new account that meets our username policy. Happy editing!
 * Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, visit Changing username and follow the instructions there.

Just so you know, 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. Thanks.

In particular, you have edited the article Beverly Williams, so the username creates the appearance that you are Williams. You may need to make contact with Wikipedia's Volunteer Response Team if you are Williams and wish to provide credentials that demonstrate you are her. I can give you directions on how to proceed along those lines, but please do not list any email addresses or phone numbers on this talk page, where they will become publicly-viewable. Thank you.—C.Fred (talk) 16:39, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Is this really Beverly Williams? I apologize for not writing everything accurately because I rushed through it and I really wasn't doing anything to be rude or mean. If you are Beverly than I just want to let you know that your are my favourite anchor and I enjoy watching old videos of you on Youtube and you inspired me to want to become a news anchor. If you have an email than feel free to email me at [redacted] I hope that this really is you because I'm your biggest fan and I hope you forgive me for my stupidity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackrobertos1996 (talk • contribs) 01:15, 12 July 2012‎ (UTC)
