User talk:Justaskdavidlindley

Hello Rrburke.

I trust I am replying to your message in the correct forum. I am, obviously, a newcomer to this level of Wikipedia interaction and so almost certainly have much still to learn.

Concerning my personal name; I know I share it with some famous people. As you point out, there is a physicist named David Lindley; and also a guitarist, a journalist, and a British Law Lord. Unfortunately, my own fame is rather limited; extending no further than immediate family and a depressingly small number of close friends and colleagues.

And concerning my Wikipedia username; it is just the expression of a little game I play. My business name is; just ASK: Australians Sharing Knowledge Pty Ltd; and concatenating it with my personal name helps me remember the username I use in Wikipedia and elsewhere.

If you think Justaskdavidlindley is an inappropriate username, I have no objection to it being changed. How about Dlindley, or Dllindley?

Best regards, David Lindley Ph.D. Consultant Academic —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justaskdavidlindley (talk • contribs).

My concern about your username
Hello, Justaskdavidlindley, and welcome 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. 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.

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 Usernames for administrator attention 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 Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. --Rrburke(talk) 01:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

usurped username
The username for this account; Justaskdavidlindley; I now realise is inappropriate.

I have therefore created a second account with username; Dllindley.

If I knew how to delete this Justaskdavidlindley account I would ... but I do not, so I can not.

I will from this point on use only my Dllindley account.

Apologies!
