User talk:And you call yourself a terrorist?

Hello, And you call yourself a terrorist?, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but another user suggested that your username might not meet our guidelines under the username policy. The feeling seems to be that it's offensive (presumably because of the word "terrorist"). Could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, the significance of it, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have a couple of options:

• You can relieve the concern through discussing it here.
• If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get 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 WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! Kafziel ^Talk 15:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
