My concern about your username (Pussytail)
Hello, Pussytail, and thank you for contributing 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?

Sorry to interupt, but the mere fact that you are concerned about his name offends me. Pussytail is a type of plant. There is also a plant called Pussytoe. Aside from plants, in the old days, people said Pussycat when referring to a feline. Ever heard that classic song that goes..."What's new Pussycat?! WOOO WO WOOOOOO WO WOOOOOOOO!" He was not talking about female genitalia, though a pervert may not take it that way. I would appreciate it if you jumped off the Political Correctness Bandwagon and use a spare minute or two to look up the origin of a word before spouting off and making a possible plant lover look to be a sexual deviant. I hope that I didn't seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.197.28 (talk) 21:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

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. Admins 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 (WP:AIV), 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 WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! RJASE1 Talk  21:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
