Why Gunfun?

[edit]

This is a nickname I have used for years on other fora, as I webmaster a site called 'gunfun'. It does not mean that I play with guns or would try to inspire anyone else to do so - the site is purely about use of guns in fiction, and so are my interests.

I'm not sure what clause in the username policy you are concerned about. If it's the 'promotional' clause, note that I do not use the address of my site - also, my site is free and apolitical, and it does not contain any kind of advertisement, so I have no financial or political interests in promoting anything by using this name.

My concern about your username

[edit]

Hello, Gunfun, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. 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:

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or 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 Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. — E talkbots 21:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
