User talk:Jobstaxi

October 2008
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: it is the name of a real world organisation / product. 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.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, this is my first time as a contributor to Wikipedia, and I'd be happy to abide with your username guidelines. Please guide me on how to do that.

Thanks much, Alex

Helpful stuff
OK, Lets start with a few handy links (the intro text is a bit cheesy but the sentiment is good). In addition to the links below I would recommend that you check out the notability guidelines and in particular the notability guidelines for websites. Also yes, really need to do something about your username, there is a page for requesting a username change but to be honest, it might be easier to just ditch this account and create new one which is not the name of a real-world organisation.

Thanks Nancy,

Yeah let me have a look through the content you've provided, and see what I can do with the username. The structure of the website is quite complicated and tech-y, so do give me sometime to figure things out.

Also, I believe you're the same Nancy I was communicating with on your 'talk page' (I'm not sure if Nancy is a generic name for everyone on your team, or is it one unique person), please let me know how I can go about with JobsTAXI:Save Main Street. We have just started the project just a few days ago and has garnered some pretty ground support from tech companies of the generation.

Inevitably, as words of the project are getting out, users are going to google and Wiki 'jobstaxi' or 'save main street', and they are not going to find any information here.

I know that there are guidelines to follow, and we'd do what it takes to preserve the integrity of the content on Wikipedia, but we really do need Wikipedia to display the relevant information they need to find out about Jobstaxi.

I'd greatly appreciate if you can share with me how users will be able to find information of 'Jobstaxi' on Wikipedia. As I've mentioned, 'Jobstaxi' is a unique name, so when they perform a search of 'Jobstaxi' on wikipedia, they are expressing a clear interest to find out more information about 'Jobstaxi', don't you think?

Alex


 * Yes, the same. I replied to your other messages over at my place - see here and here. I note your google comments but I've pretty much covered that off over on my talk for you so I won't repeat myself (first time for everything, LOL) Nancy  talk  17:33, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
