User talk:Sdadam

My concern about your username (Sdadam)
Hello, Sdadam, 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?

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! J Di 11:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

my username
Hey there,

My user name is SD Adam I've been using this name for years, it's SD for San Diego and my name Adam. I typed it in all lowercase, if there is a way to change it to SDAdam to make it a little more pronounced I would be fine with that. Hope that satisfies your concerns, thanks! Let me know if you have any more questions.

-Adam
 * Thanks for the explanation. Now I know what the name means, I don't have a problem with it, but I don't know what other people might think.  You could either leave it as it is, possibly start an RfC at Requests for comment/User names, or change it at Changing username, but as you have yet to make any edits other than the one to this page, it would be quicker to simply create another account.  If you do decide to leave it and, after making edits to articles, nobody else bothers you about it, I guess that'd mean nobody else can see a problem with it and I just over-analyse everything.


 * If you need any help with anything, you can add helpme to this page and somebody'll get to you soon, or you can contact me at my user talk page or leave a message on the help desk. Again, welcome to Wikipedia.  J Di 14:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
