User talk:Onl1neh3ro

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: Confusing username. 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 Dave
I'm sorry about my confusing username. I tried using my normal 3 or 4 usernames (including "onlinehero") when I registered but they were all taken. I couldn't even use my real name since that was also taken. So I really don't know what to do here. --Onlinehero 00:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! Don't worry about it, it's all good. How about User:online_hero? That's not taken. Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :)  00:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * As it says in username policy - they normally don't rename users with few contributions. So I have just created a new user called User:Kotu Kubin. That's a handle I sometimes use which was free. Don't know what to do with this page so I will let it be until Dave sees this. --Onlinehero
 * It's alright since you have switched to new username and please stick with it when editing, this username "Onl1neh3ro" is now redundant. ...Dave1185 (talk) 12:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
