User talk:LeMelonDotCom

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: name matches existing website, implying the possibility of promotional intent. 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 Daniel,

The reason I chose LeMelonDotCom as my username is because I like to stay somewhat anonymous online and my identity is "LeMelon". However that username was taken and wikipedia wouldn't allow any similar usernames (for obvious reasons) but seeing as "LeMelon" is my online identity I opted for the name of my site instead.

I would be happy to change username but wonder if it's possible to check if the user "lemelon" is still active. If they aren't active, would it be possible to contact them and make sure - and if they don't reply, give the username to me? If that isn't possible, do you have any suggestions for names that don't look like I'm promoting my website?

Thanks, LeMelonDotCom (talk) 07:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
