User talk:נועמקליין

July 2009

I hope that I don't 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: Non cyryllic. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your views, for instance, your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

There are several options available to you:

We can talk about it, here.
If we can't resolve this on our own, 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.

Thank you. Onevalefan^talk 22:00, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Latin alphabet unsername and signature

Hello נועמקליין, and welcome to the English language Wikipedia. Regarding Onevalefan's note above, your non-Latin alphabet username is definitely not a violation of our username policy. In fact, it is explicitly permitted (see Wikipedia:Username policy#Non-English usernames) and is an inevitable result of encouraging common usernames across various Wikimedia projects. Signatures consisting only of non-Latin alphabet characters can be confusing however, so if you plan to edit the English language Wikipedia regularly, you are encouraged, as a courtesy to other users, to use Latin characters (most commonly a transliteration of your username) in your signature as described in WP:Signatures#Non-Latin. Again, welcome. -- Thinking of England (talk) 02:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
