Your username
editWelcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. This is a message to let you know that your username, "AnotherDumba$$", may not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Please note that the following types of usernames are prohibited:
- Promotional usernames: Those which match the name of a company, organization, group, website or product (e.g. "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", "Foobar Museum of Art"). However, you are allowed to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally (e.g. "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "FoobarFan87").
- Usernames implying shared use: Those which directly imply shared access between people (e.g. "Jack and Jill's Account"), or match names of posts within groups or organizations (e.g. "Secretary of the XY Foundation").
- Misleading usernames: Those which contain suffixes like "bot" or "script" and imply an account is that of an automated bot when it is not, or titles like "admin" or "sysop" (implying a position of authority), or match names of living people that you are not, such as famous living people. If you are a famous person editing under your real name and your account is blocked from editing, please note that this is not to discourage you from editing, but rather to prevent any potentially damaging impersonation of you.
- Offensive and disruptive usernames: Those which contain words or phrases that are likely to offend other contributors, directly threaten or attack another person or some entity, contain contentious material about living persons, or otherwise imply you do not intend to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia (e.g. "JohnIsAJerk", "WannabeWikipediaVandal").
For more information, see Wikipedia's username policy.
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, website, person or other entity, nor do we tolerate any other 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior, regardless of your username. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. If you do not understand which part of the policy your username may be violating, please don't hesitate to ask. 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. Gatemansgc (talk) 02:15, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
How to change your username.
editPlease read here.
Even if your first contributions weren't that positive, you can still overcome them. People here are encouraged to not WP:BITE the newbies. I got off on the wrong foot, too. I started out on Wikipedia creating a page that was speedily deleted for lack of notability. I came away from that and look at me now! The link I gave you is quite a bit to read, but please do.
