User talk:SlimmerVirgin

Username issue
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (SlimmerVirgin) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because this username could be violating WP:IMPERSONATOR with respect to high-profile administrator User:SlimVirgin.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. __meco (talk) 19:07, 14 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Friend, thank you for your note, and I would ask you in the most polite terms possible to please not bite the newbies.  (I must add that the habit of splashing symbols around like this [[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] is, frankly, obnoxious, but I assume the Bot did that.)  I understand from your note that you are unsure of whether my username may or may not violate WP's username policy.  I note that you've provided a helpful link to that policy, which I have now read through, and I don't see what guideline I've run afoul of.  I would further note that you have declined to cite, specifically, what I've violated within those guidelines, even though those guidelines are numbered and orderly.  As for WP:IMPERSONATOR, that page makes clear that a Bot trolls through WP-land and may be "overly sensitive," so I suspect my username could well fall into that category (and probably did based on the computer-generated text above).  I'm somewhat surprised that Wikipedia would let me set up this account and now someone/some-bot, presumably acting in good faith, would happen upon it and tell me that I must change my name.  This is a disappointing welcome to the Wikipedia Community to receive threats of blocking my account (in the markup text of your note) without telling me what I've done wrong.  I am certainly open to hearing what it is I've violated and will adjust my behavior accordingly.  If you're a person, I appreciate your work in keeping Wikipedia safe for everyone, and best regards, SlimmerVirgin (talk) 23:57, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
