Username concern

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. 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:

Unfortunately, an article on your forum is highly unlikely to be accepted, and similarly, links to it are unlikely to be deemed appropriate for inclusion. The inclusion criteria for articles on websites are at Wikipedia:Notability (web), which are summarised as any one of the following:

  • The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
  • The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.
  • The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.

In terms of links, the relevant page is Wikipedia:External links, which under "Links normally to be avoided" includes:

  • Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article.
  • Links mainly intended to promote a website. See External link spamming.
  • Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject.

Note that external links on Wikipedia do not boost search engine rankings; Wikipedia pages use nofollow tags. Oldelpaso (talk) 09:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
