Ok. I guess wikipedia userpages don't work out. Wikipedia can hate me all it wants, but the fact that it does damage to my life (like the troublemaker it is) when I join it, I think it's very detrimental. I don't like working super hard on a personal userpage only to be discriminated against. Wikipedia hates me, is there anything I can do to fix our relationship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrischAnimations (talk • contribs)

I'll attempt to explain: this has nothing to do with hatred but this project is about building an encyclopedia (WP:NOTSOCIAL, WP:NOTWEBHOST, WP:PROMOTION). User pages are also expected to be in relation to Wikipedia editing (WP:UP). Editors who only edit in a particular topic are considered single purpose accounts (WP:SPA) and this is usually an indication of conflict of interest (WP:COI). Wikipedia policies in relation to conflict of interest mandate disclosure as well as strongly discourage editing on the topic, since it will naturally result in non-neutral and promotional content (WP:POV, WP:UNDUE). Wikipedia also has notability requirements for articles (WP:GNG). As for user talk pages, they are part of collaborative processes including to warn when necessary (WP:WARN), that is not hounding or attacking. If a person or company is notable, the normal process is for other editors to write a related article when they discover that a notable topic is not yet covered. The best indication of notability is independent secondary and tertiary reliable sources covering a topic (WP:RS) and those sources should be cited (WP:CITE). If you wish to work on the encyclopedia in general, your help is most welcome (WP:HERE). I hope this helps, —PaleoNeonate – 17:06, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm not taking this.

I'll never create a user page again if all you guys are gonna do is remove it. The policies are wrong: Wikipedia IS a web host.— Preceding unsigned comment added by FrischAnimations (talk • contribs) 14:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

You might be right in that the policy is wrong, and you're free to discuss your concerns at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy), Wikipedia talk:User pages or even at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia does have lots of policies and guidelines and most have been established through a consensus agreed upon by the Wikipedia community. These policies and guidelines may need tweaking or even major revision as time passes, but that requires discussion and takes time. In the meantime, the best thing to do is to try and adhere as closely as you can to the user page guidelines. It's OK to make a mistake, even get a user page deleted, but repeating the same mistake over and over again is where you're going to start to run into problems.

You appear to be interested in animation. Did you know that there's a couple of WikiProjects specifically devoted to editors who share the same interest? Try checking out Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga and see if those are something that interest you. WikiProjects are always looking for new members, particularly those with knowledge on whatever subject the project is devoted to, so either of them would probably be happy to have you as a member. There's lots of articles on Wikipedia related to animation, etc. which probably could use some attention and cleaning up. So, perhaps put your user page on the back burner for a bit (it's not required btw), and get some editing experience. Then, when you are a little more familiar with Wikipedia, you can go back and create a user page which satisfies WP:UPYES. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "FrischAnimations", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames which may lead others to believe that they represent an particular organization, company, group, etc. are not allowed per WP:ORGNAME. 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 the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi FrischAnimations. I think it would probably be a good idea for you to either change you username altogether or tweak it in someway, so that there's no question of it complying with Wikipedia:Username policy. A quick Google search gets all kinds of hits for "Frisch Animations", so something connected to that name does exists. Even if you're not connected to that "Frisch Animations" in anyway, the username is pretty much always going to get flagged as problematic. If you think this is not an issue, then you can leave the name as is; however, these accounts with these types usernames pretty always end up getting soft blocked until they're changed. You can avoid any of that happening simply by completing the form mentioned in the above template and request a name change yourself. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:04, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Interesting. Except I can't change my username. (i am not signing this comment. please stop with the "preceding unsigned comment by username" stuff.)— Preceding unsigned comment added by FrischAnimations (talk • contribs) 5 July 2019 (UTC)

You cannot change an account name (i.e. your username) yourself. You need to request that it be done at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or as explained otherwise explained in Wikipedia:Changing username. Since you've already created a new account at User:ThisIsJimFrisch, you can simply do nothing and never use this one again. If, however, the account starts to become active again, then once again the username problem will likely be brought up. So, please use your new account even for edits made to this talk page from here on.

You should always sign your talk page posts as explained in Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines; when a post is unsigned, another editor or a WP:BOT will come along and add the missing signature, but it's best that you do so yourself. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:44, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
