User talk:Expatbrat

September 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Expatbrat", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. NTox · talk 21:24, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Can you please elaborate on what the issue is? Expatbrat is infact a moniker for people who grew up abroad. Derived from the term "military-brat". I'm not entirely sure what the issue is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.126.93.2 (talk) 22:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Greetings. The concern was raised because you added a link to the website http://expatbrat.com/. We want to make sure that you are not editing on behalf of this site, nor are connected to it as you are using the name. NTox · talk 18:54, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I have removed the reference to that site. Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.126.95.2 (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Glad to help. Just note that the removal of the site does not excuse the username issue. If you want to continue to use this account you will have to change its name, which is a simple process. Next time you log in, visit WP:CHUS and follow the instructions at the top of the page. Best. NTox · talk 02:24, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Admin note. Once the link is removed, there is no problem with the username. -- Alexf(talk) 15:37, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello - can someone confirm that no further action is needed then and that this issue is closed? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.126.30.45 (talk) 23:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed, this is settled. No reason to change the name. I had talked to Alexf and we agreed that this is okay. Best. NTox · talk 23:53, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
