My concern about your username (Tetsuyanomura)

[edit]

Hello, Tetsuyanomura, 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?

It is forbidden to use the name of a famous living or dead person as a username.

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:

  • If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
  • If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
  • If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

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! Kariteh 15:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Kariteh 15:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am sorry but the decision was to disallow your username, you account has been blocked. The reason behind this is there there is a well known living person with that name and we need to protect celebrities from impersonation. If you really are Tetsuya Nomura, and can provide evidence of that(by showing us an e-mail address posted on an official website of Tetsuya Nomura that we can confirm off of) then we will unblock this account and you will be welcome to use this name. Just post your response here and I will see it. If you are not Tetsuya Nomura then you can just create a new account in line with our username policy. HighInBC(Need help?
