User talk:Sshsa

Thank you Pastor Theo,

  The Steamship Historical Society of America is a non profit organization that records, preserves, and disseminates the history of engine powered vessels.  Please view similar organizations such as the Titanic Historical Society of America.  In order to provide information/backgroun on this organization I set up an account and made my username the same as the article title for ease of remembering it.  I hope this clears up any confusion.

Sincerely,

Rebecca

Welcome to Wikipedia

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: Your acronym-based name matches the article you created on the Steamship Historical Society of America, and it may be considered a violation of WP:COI. 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. Pastor Theo (talk) 23:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
