[edit] My reasons for having the username (Midland Metro)
Hello,
I am not affilliated in any way with the Midland Metro. I am, however, an enthusiast of the line and its projects and as such I thought it would be a fitting name. I chose this name becuase I am mainly going to be adding to the Midland Metro topic. I have a wide variety of knowledge of the system and its future and I wish to expand the Midland Metro page a lot.
What suggestions do you have as to an adequate username could be?
[edit] My concern about your username (Midland Metro)
Hello, Midland Metro, 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?
Username matches that of a company which violates the Wikipedia:Username policy
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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention 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 Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you! Adambro 19:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I should also note that such a username would leave me concerned about whether you are associated with the Midland Metro in a way which could constitute a conflict of interest and might make it difficult for you to ensure you comply with our Neutral point of view policy.
