Username problem
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope that I don't 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: You added a reference from a company named red-track to the article PHD_Virtual_Technologies. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your views, for instance, your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

There are several options available to you:
 * We can talk about it, here.
 * You can abandon the contributions made under this name and create a new account that meets our username policy and addresses the concern(s) noted above.
 * Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, then you should visit Changing username and follow the instructions there.

If we can't resolve this on our own, 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. UncleDouggie (talk) 06:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Removal of Article for deletion tag
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with PHD Virtual Technologies. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Apparently you somehow failed to notice that the notice says "this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed". JamesBWatson (talk) 10:56, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
