User talk:Jimbob672

September 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Jimbob672", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is too similar to Founder Jimbo Wales and could be misleading. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. StormContent 14:43, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@StormContent: I would disagree here. I think their username is meant to read as "jim bob", not "jimbo b". Airplaneman ✈ 15:13, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Airplaneman: Misleading or not, I think the name is still rather confusing. StormContent 15:17, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@StormContent: Thing is, Jim Bob is an actual name. I can see how it may be confused with Jimbo, but I personally don't think it's blatant or warrants a name change. Airplaneman ✈ 15:22, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Airplaneman: The warning does state a username might be a violation and not blatantly. Other than that, I would be pretty clear on that. Thanks for piloting me out this one.

Jimbob672, I hope your time on Wikipedia is as good as ours. Sorry about the misunderstanding about your username, and I hope you contribute first-class style. :) StormContent 15:38, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@StormContent: No worries. I'm not necessarily saying I'm right and you're wrong, but I did have a particular opinion on this case that I wanted to express. Cheers, Airplaneman ✈ 15:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
