User talk:Professor Hubert Farnsworth

My concern about your username
Hello, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, 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.

Your concern about my username
Hello, The Fifth Horseman,

thanks for your message. After checking the username policy I'm not sure what is the exact reason for your concerns. Please let me me know what your problem with my username is, so I we can talk about them. I hope to hear from you. Thanx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Professor Hubert Farnsworth (talk • contribs)


 * To my understanding, your username implies identity of a Hubert Farnsworth and therefore might be subject to the criterion #2, pt 2 ("Usernames that match the name..."). However, since I have not heard of any living person of that name, may I ask if it is a reference to some fictional character rather than a real-life individual? --The Fifth Horseman 11:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, Professor Hubert Farnsworth is the name of a character featured in the animated TV-Series "Futurama", and is not the name of any living person I know, although I cannot exclude the possibility that there might be a real person with that name.
 * I thought it would be cool to choose the name of an old and slightly mad professor from a cartoon as my username. It has never been my intention using the name of any person existing in reality as my username.
 * So, I you've still got a problem with my username, please let me know.--Professor Hubert Farnsworth 11:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Since the character is fictional, 2/2 does not apply. Consider any concerns I might have had about it nonexistent.
 * Good luck with your Wikipedia endeavours. :) --The Fifth Horseman 11:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
