User talk:WikiJonesDotCom

February 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (WikiJonesDotCom) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it gives an impression that you are representing a group or organisation. 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 to use for editing. Thank you. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk 15:25, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiJonesdotcom is based on two items my daughter's nickname is Wiki Jones and her domain name is WikiJones.com. I setup an account on Wikipedia for her so she can become a part of the Wikipedia community and start contributing content. She wants to document places around the world using her video camera and post them on youtube. She also wants to link the videos to related articles in Wikipedia.

Should I change it to just say WikiJones without the dotcom ?
 * That might help, yes, as long as she's not linking to her domain. Just start a new account under that name and abandon this one (let us know). Daniel Case (talk) 18:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Please sign talkpage posts with ~ - it puts the name and date on. I've marked the listing as not a violation, but if you want to change, it's up to you. WP:CHU and go down to Simple is the way. I would point out that two of you cannot use one account - if your daughter is using it now, she must change the password and not tell you what to. Or get her to start another account for herself - and YOU change the password on this one. If you do have two accounts running at the one house, it's a good idea to put on your talkpages a little note to say that you share an IP with xxxxx. Cuts out suggestions of sockpuppetry. I hope you both enjoy Wikipedia, and don't be afraid to ask if you have any problems. And sign with ~ like this: Peridon (talk) 18:29, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If she's interested she might want to upload her videos to wikimedia commons as well as/instead of YouTube. There is a chance that an account that just added links to YouTube would be seen as spammy. Secretlondon (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay thanks, I will have her change the password and also review wikimedia.org WikiJonesDotCom (talk) 02:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * No, don't put the 'nowiki' bit in - just the four ~ things all by themselves... Nowiki is a way of displaying commands without activating them. I couldn't take yours out, or it would have signed me instead! Peridon (talk) 19:32, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, my Dad and I are still learning Wikipedia :) WikiJonesDotCom (talk) 02:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
