My concern about your username (JohnHurt)

[edit]

Hello, JohnHurt, and thank you for contributing 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?

This is also the name of a well-known living person John Hurt.

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:

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 (WP:AIV), 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 WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! RJASE1 Talk 17:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I added some disambiguation notes, which should prevent you from running into any problems with policy. Happy editing! RJASE1 Talk 18:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
