Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "StefanSport", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. AnupMehra ^✈ 17:39, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

StefanSport is my wikipedia name, created on the Dutch Wikipedia. It's my front name + my biggest passion: sport. I made major changes to the 2012 Paralympic Games (+sidepages) on the Dutch wiki, but after a while I got busy with other work. Lately I'm back, and my most visited on Wikipedia are pages about sportevents and music albums (+ artists). I just see I only edited hip hop discographies here, since the English wiki is more up to date on sport events then the Dutch variant.

So with all respect I don't see what's wrong with this username. It's not linked to any site or any other thing. But I'm open for reasons why I can't use this name.

Hi, StefanSport. No worries, then. We are simply checking to make sure you are editing on behalf of yourself. We deal with a good amount of folks that try to edit for the company they work for, which creates many problems. We apologize for any frustrations. Have a good one.

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DJ Nasty & LVM, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plies (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
