Username

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: your username contains the potentially objectionable word 'butt'. 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:


Buttpunches (talk) 08:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)I don't understand what is objectionable about the word 'butt'. In my opinion, the word 'punches' should be more objectionable in that it implies violence. 'Butt' is a standard and widely accepted shortened version of the word 'buttocks'. It's just a non-slang term for a part of the human body. ButtpunchesReply

Thank you. — neuro(talk) 03:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
