Username

[edit]

Hi, I just wanted to make a quick comment about your username. As per Wikipedia:Username policy, a non-Latin username is allowed, but can be problematic. From Wikipedia:Signatures;

Non-Latin Signatures

Editors with non-Latin usernames are welcome to edit in Wikipedia. However, non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indic scripts, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Thai and others, are illegible to most other contributors of the English Wikipedia. Not everyone uses a keyboard that has immediate access to non-Latin characters, and names that cannot be pronounced cannot be retained in memory. As a courtesy to the rest of the contributors, users with such usernames are encouraged to sign their posts (at least in part) with Latin characters. For an example refer to User:Παράδειγμα, who signs his posts as "Παράδειγμα/Paradigma."

I understand your username appears to be Russian, and it apparently translates to "Leonid Belov". I'm not sure what the significance of that is to you, but if you would consider adding that, or another Latinized name or word to your signature, (eg: Леонид Белов/Leonid Belov), it would make interacting with you a great deal easier for your fellow editors.

To attach a Latinized word or name to your signature, just go to "Preferences", and on the first page, under "User Profile", scroll down to "Signatures". There you will see a text box where you can customize your signature to your liking and you will be able to modify it with an add-on in Latin script that will help others identify and communicate with you. There are additional instructions at Wikipedia:Signature tutorial, and at the bottom of the page you will find a list of unique, colorful and creative signatures, just as you will see throughout Wikipedia, that may help give you some ideas. If you need any assistance, you can contact the Help Desk. I hope you find this useful and, happy editing! - wolf 20:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, wolf, and thank you so much for the greeting and for this hint. In fact, this is almost the first thing I tried to do (I understand that it's difficult for most people in EnWiki to perceive Cyrillic). After your message, I tried again. But for some reason it doesn't work for me in displaying edits and profile, except for discussions only. Am I doing something wrong? Leonid Beloff (talk) (contribs) 21:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello to you as well. Tbh, I've never encountered an issue with my signature nor had anyone ask me about theirs before. If you followed the steps layed out above, and at WP:SIGTUT, then I would suggest you try next asking for assistance at either the help desk or WP:VPT, where they deal specifically with technical issues involving Wikipedia. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted it out quickly. - wolf 21:21, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One question, I'm not sure what you mean by "edits and profile"...? Your signature seems fine here in discussion, and this is where signatures are used. - wolf 21:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, of course, the signature has changed as it should, but I would like my username to be reflected in Latin letters on the user's page and in the edit history. But I have already made sure that the current Wikipedia engine does not allow such deep changes. Even magic DISPLAYTITLE doesn't help. OK, let's stop there)) - Leonid "Leo" Belov (talk) (contribs) 21:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Artificial ruins, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aestheticization. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
