[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Cgdotcom) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to promote/specify a single website. 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. Tyrol5 [Talk] 13:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- I don't believe that this violates your policy; my website isn't cg.com and I don't have any affiliation with any website that may exist at that address. This is just a username I use on some websites when my full name is already in use as a username (as is the case with Wikipedia). Is this OK?
- Despite not representing a specific website, your username can be misleading in that it could give the impression that you are promoting a website, whatever the case may be. I'm certain you have good intentions, but I would recommend reading the instructions at this page to requests a username change. Thanks and regards, Tyrol5 [Talk] 19:41, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
OK, OK, I'll just use a different account. I gather I can't delete this one, so... it just sits here? Or will this account be blocked? Either way, as of 10/10/2011 this account is no longer used.
