My concern about your username

Hello, Daniel Lee, Author, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

Your username Matches the name of a well-known living or recently deceased person, unless you verifiably are that person, in which case please note this on your user page.

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 asking for a "third opinion", or 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.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again!--Knowpedia 16:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply to your concern about my username

Thank you for the friendly way you posed your concern.

I am the author Daniel Lee. I looked over the guidelines for user identifications and found nothing to substantiate a reason for removal/change of the one I selected and use. It is my name, followed by my profession. Do I need to verify this via passport or some other form of government ID?
