Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Editing101master", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a misleading username. 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 by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Kirbanzo (talk) 20:54, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your message. In follow up, if Wiki believes my username has violated the "misleading" provision I will certainly alter it accordingly. However, in examining the provision, it appears, from my perspective, that my username is not a: (a)  Username that impersonates other people. (To my knowledge, I'm not aware of any similar usernames to mine, and if there are it was not intentional) (b) Username that gives the impression that the account has permissions which it does not have; (To my knowledge, my username does not contain the terms "administrator", "bureaucrat", "steward", "checkuser", "oversight", or similar terms, such as "admin", "sysop", or "moderator".  Naturally, I don't believe the word "Master" qualifies) (c) Username which could be easily misunderstood to refer to a "bot" (which is used to identify bot accounts) or a "script" (which alludes to automated editing processes), unless the account is of that type. (To my knowledge, my username does not appear to resemble a script or bot account) (d) Username that includes phrases such as "wikipedia", "wikimedia", "wiktionary", "(WMF)", or similar if they give the incorrect impression that my account may be officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its projects. (My username contains none of these phrases) (e) Username which resemble IP addresses (as these are expected to designate non-logged-in users), timestamps or other names which would be confusing within the Wikipedia signature format. (My username format is not structured as an IP address) (f) Usernames that appear similar to naming conventions used by community administrative processes, such as those starting with Vanished user  (My username is not named, to the best of my knowledge, in accordance with this format).

Wiki naturally has the final say. If Wiki believe my username still violates the "misleading" provision I will obviously change it. If this is the case, is your organisation able to offer suggestions (similar to my current username) that would fulfill the criteria?

Cheers and thanks again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editing101master (talk • contribs) 11:03, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that it is not a username violation. I am going to remove the category and consider this reviewed. -- The SandDoctor Talk 21:36, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
