User talk:Last Polar Bear

April 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: Specifically, I am concerned that other users may confuse you for the Earl of Essex, a real and notable person. This confusion breaches U.. 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 Dweller,


 * Thanks for the advice, I'd be happy to change my username - yes I can see the potential confusion, though I didn't realise it when I first created the name. As such, I've submitted a request to change.


 * Many thanks, formally Duke Of Wessex (talk) 08:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent. Repeated welcome coming below. We're glad to have you. --Dweller (talk) 10:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

You re-added the virgin media awards. Indeed they did win, but there is no doubt that they cheated. Furball3 (talk) 17:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * They did? In what way? Do you have a reference for this that we could possibly add to the article? Controversy section maybe? Last Polar Bear (talk) 07:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
