Username
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: 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 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.

Request that article be removed.
Hey Kids:

Stop the presses. This is an amazing ball of confusion. One of my employees (RentraBar) thought it was a neat idea to do an article about his boss. I saw it, and I added a couple of pictures, info about my achievements etc.

I also saw the request for verifications etc. I thought that I did that with the GFDL update page. I also sent you articles and actual video's from my former employers website, clearly confirming that "I am who I am". Also, certain photo's were attributed to my former employer (though reading your road rules after the fact I realize that it still has to be a written permit). Sorry, I thought it might be fun to contribute to this.

And as for my awards, I don't have anything except pictures of the awards ceremony, the program etc. How otherwise do you prove an award? How did everyone else who received an award prove it?

Blue Azure's comments seem so negative... a reference to "probably a regional Emmy". Well there is no "probably"; they were listed as Regional Emmy's. And FYI, my tenure at NBC, including its owned and operated station was more than 10 years collectively, but only 2 as a National Correspondent/Producer.

I'm not sure how all this is supposed to run. It's very confusing on even "how" to respond; there is no TYPE IN YOUR MESSAGE, CLICK SEND  format here. So I never know who/where these notes are going to.

All this to say, with all the confusion, you don't have to nominate it or pitch or suggest it for deletion. I am ASKING that you end the confusion and delete it. Period.

Like I said, one of my guys thought it was a neat idea, seeing all the other articles which appear involving folks who haven't amassed anywhere near my achievements. He thought it might be a neat little tribute. But I don't need to do this to validate me. I would rather it be removed immediately.

And I wish you well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rentrabar (talk • contribs) 18:20, 22 January 2008
