User talk:DerekKeane
September 2008
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Name impersonates Kaká. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
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 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.
Thank you. -- Alexf42 09:45, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Ricardodosizecson?, what's wrong in that?, I'm not impersonating Kaka but why can't I have that username ?
- Because it is an inappropriate username as it impersonates a living person that already has an article in Wikipedia. If you are not him, then it is not appropriate. Would you please read the instructions above and change your username? Thank you for your attention. -- Alexf42 22:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Fine . Should I delete my account now ?
- No need for a drastic measure. If you want to keep your contribution history just follow the instructions in Wikipedia:Changing username and propose a new username and it will be taken care of for you. Happy wiking. -- Alexf42 14:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
