User talk:Jazz103fm

January 2009
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: promotional. 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 there. I chose Jazz103fm as a user name simply to have one that was unlikely to be taken already and as one that would be easy for me to remember. My primary interest, and area of study that would be of use, is in jazz music--more particularly musician biographies and jazz recordings. As a promotional name, "Jazz103fm" would not be very useful on an English language site since FM radio signals do not have a wide range and nothing about the name indicates an internet stream is available. In any event, as far as I know there is no FM radio station that promotes itself as "Jazz 103 FM", and no FCC licensed FM station on that frequency that broadcasts jazz.

Please let me know if I still need to change the user name to something else. I will be happy to avoid any misunderstandings or appearance of being in conflict with the username policy. If a different name is appropriate, would 415jazzdad suffice?

Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Jazz103fm (talk) 23:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Lets wait and see if anyone else has an issue with your name. Personally, I think that it is marginal, way too marginal for me to insist that you change it. Just keep in mind that someone might have an issue with it, but as far as I'm concerned - unless you are editing or creating an article about a jazz radio station, I'm okay with it.
