Dear , Welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Changing username in order to prevent abuse. However, if you have very few or no edits, it might just be easier to create a new account. If you need any help, simply contact me on my talk page, or go to Help desk. Another option is to place helpme on your own talk page, and someone will come shortly to help. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). Again, welcome!  Switcher cat  talkcont 18:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
