Welcome!
welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Questions or place   on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Unfortunately, A tag has been placed on Halo 3 forum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:Halo 3 forum. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. Hersfold (talk/work) 02:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

My concern about your username
Hello, Th3 LudaChr1s, and welcome 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. 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.

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 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 Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again!

I do apologize for continuing to post messages, but I'd like to make sure you aren't blocked for violating policy, when I hope you can become a good editor. My concern here, which that wonderful (*cough*) template doesn't give me a chance to specify, is that your username is obviously similar to Ludacris, which is a problem as noted on our Username Policy: "Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are misleading, harassing, or offensive... Misleading usernames include names that... Match the name of a well-known living or recently deceased person." If we could discuss this, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, sorry for continuing to clutter your talk page. Hersfold (talk/work) 02:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
