My concern about your username (Jimmothyjimbo)
Hello, Jimmothyjimbo, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and 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 asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins 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.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! Sam Blacketer 23:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry that my username happens to include "jimbo" but I had no intention of impersonating Jimbo Wales. I always thought that "jimbo" was quite common as a name and as a username. In fact, I had no idea that Jimbo Wales even existed on Wikipedia (until now). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmothyjimbo (talk • contribs)


 * Thanks for getting back. Having read what you wrote I don't think there's any danger of people confusing you with Jimbo Wales, so my doubts are entirely resolved. Happy editing! Sam Blacketer 21:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
