Hello
editCan you please explain the rational for choosing this specific username? Also, please understand that wikipedia is not a forum, and hence, talk pages are to be used in conjunction with improving the articles the are associated with, they are not to be used as a forum for discussion, or a forum for discussion concerning said topics.— Dædαlus Contribs 08:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello
editI'll change it. Socialism20091011 (talk) 05:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Socialism20091011
- I'm not convinced you necessarily need to change your username (unless it was intended to promote an event? That wouldn't be appropriate). However, there is concern that a similar username has also been used (User:Socialism2009), but I notice that that username hasn't been used since you've been using this username so I'm not too concerned.
- Another concern was raised about the nature of your edits; I had a look at the edits you made to articles and they seemed fine to me, however I believe the real concern was that you appeared to be treating articles' talk pages as a general discussion forum. Talk pages should really be used to discuss how to improve their associated articles.
- Incidentally, the "concerns" I mentioned were raised on the administrators' incidents board. I'm not an administrator, but promised I'd take a look at your edits and offer any help I could. Do please feel free to ask me anything or help in any way I can.
