Your username
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 for the following reason: may be confusing for some editors. 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.

i couldn't think of anything so i just typed in iwiwiwiw, it doesn't mean anything special... i don't really know why it's offensive or anything but if it needs to be changed i don't mind. i only use it to add links to the tamil wikipedia anyway.


 * It's not offensive, it may be confusing for some editors. For a change of username, please review Changing username. Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 10:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I disagree...the username policy says: It's hard for me to imagine how this name would be confusing in that way...I think the policy is intended more for names like "Talk Page" or "Click here to edit" or "Copyright tag" or something, that would make it look like the link is a Wikipedia function rather than a user name. Don't see a problem worth worrying about, and...thanks for your contributions, iwiw! -Pete (talk) 01:41, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Confusing usernames make it unnecessarily difficult to identify contributors.
