User talk:Craftrobot

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to 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. 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, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

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 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.

Hello Daniel;

The name Craftrobot is used because my name scottmyers wasn't available and the next choice was craftrobot because once I worked at the American Craft Museum of the Robot show. That was where I met people from Apple Computer and since it was 1984 it was also the first opportunity to use a Macintosh. Apple's staff, seeing that I was motivated to use technology in an art setting, suggested I start a company and that if I did I could enroll in their developer program.

I must have hit the capital key and didn't want Craftrobot, but wanted craftrobot. Actually I really wanted scottmyers and I may have already joined a while ago with that name which is why it shows in the username directory already.

Feel free to comment. Thanks.
