Jackson Whole
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: The username seems to impersonate game show personality Bert Convy, and may be misleading/confusing to others. 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.
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Gary Trauner. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Specifically, the Trauner Watch site does not appear to be appropriate for a biographical article, which is subject to very stringent standards, both for content as well as external links. See WP:EL for more information. Thanks! ArakunemTalk 00:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
UPDATE: As you see I have changed my username to "Jackson Whole" as you requested. SECONDLY: I do not believe I posted any inappropriate external links to Wikipedia that you accuse me of and the Trauner Campaign, who seem to be in charge of that site, suggest. Lastly; I feel it is important for the voters of Wyoming to be informed, not that Trauner is of the Jewish religion, I have deep respect for that faith, but to the fact that he seems to think the Wyoming voters are so narrow minded that they can't be trusted with that fact and has gone to great lengths to hide it from them.
