Your username
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BearService", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Ohh I don't want to be breaking rules. But reading through the rules I think I would still be in compliance.
- I'm just one person, and my firstname translates to "bear" in English. And by combining my first name with "service" it creates a fun play on words in my language. see https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rntj%C3%A4nst. Hope this clears my name as I think it is a "snicker-worthy" pun and makes me happy. BearService (talk) 08:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry! Many companies make accounts here, and I thought you might be working for one of the many companies named "Bear Service". But if you're not, there's nothing wrong with your username. (I wonder if my well-intentioned mistake would be a björntjänst itself?
) - Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
