Your username

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope that I don't 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. In brief:

There are four kinds of usernames that are specifically disallowed:

  • Misleading usernames imply relevant, misleading things about the contributor. Misleading names include those that imply you are in a position of authority over Wikipedia, or those that impersonate other people.
  • Promotional usernames are used to promote a group, company, product or website on Wikipedia.
  • Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible.
  • Disruptive usernames include outright trolling or personal attacks, or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia.

I think your username may be a problem under one or more of these headings (you can find more details at Wikipedia:Username policy), and this needs to be addressed.

There are several options available to you:

  • We can talk about this, here - if you're not sure how or why your username might not meet policy, disagree that there's a problem, or are not sure what alternative to use.
  • You can abandon the contributions made under this name and immediately create a new account that meets our username policy. Happy editing!
  • Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the instructions there.

Just so you know, if we can't resolve this on our own, 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. Thanks. --Vsmith (talk) 12:49, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

it was never my intent to publish anything without my name included. My first name is Jaime therefore the "j" and I am s collector of philitelics and numismatics! What and where is there a hidden agenda or misleading? I am the sole owner and I own the image which I uploaded. Do you have any suggestions? And the name comes from my email address which makes it easier for me to remember that's why I chose that username. That is the only reason I have it. I am proud of my work and would it be easier to change it to my real name or what else do you suggest? I'm open to suggestions! I'm new to wikipedia and interest lay in the academics of the content nothingore more.

Thanks, the problem is the handle "Jmcollectables" gives the impression of a commercial establishment and is used by an ebay user and thus, if that is your account there, appears promotional. If the ebay account is not yours then the name would be promoting someone else.
Also, please log in to your account and sign your comments by adding four tildes ~~~~ which automatically adds your username/signature. Vsmith (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

[edit]

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
