[edit] A friendly suggestion: use a real name

Hi, thanks for your your contributions to Wikipedia so far. I'd like to make a friendly suggestion: you might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. You might want to consider doing this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your own real name online, but, if that's the case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

If you have a questions about this or anything on Wikipedia, please feel free to get in touch with me on my talk page.
