User talk:MrSmee~enwiki

My concern about your username
Hello, MrSmee, 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 Administrator intervention against vandalism 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 again!Risker 23:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Whats wrong with it? MrSmee 23:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It could be easily confused with the user name of a long time editor, Smee. Risker 23:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

However I've been called a sockpuppet of another editor who edits in a very similar way to how I do too.


 * If this is a coincidence please forgive any appearance of accusation.


 * If this is the same editor, you're still entitled to keep this user name but just consider placing this template on your user page.


 * Sorry for any confusion. Anynobody 03:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome, and I have no objection to your user name
I have no objection to your user name. I would hope that you will be a courteous and kind and civil editor, but of course that is your responsibility. Welcome again to the project, and let me know if you need any help with things. Yours, Smee 06:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

User page
You may wish to create a User Page. You can just click on the red "user page" tab uptop, or invariably also click here to edit. There is some interesting information on User Pages at User page. Here is the list of Userboxes, and this is some Wikipedia information about Userboxes. Yours, Smee 08:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called MrSmee. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name MrSmee~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
