Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "The Babbadook is Gay", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because some say it is disruptive.. 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 this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Dlohcierekim (talk) 04:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Dlohcierekim. I don't believe my username is explicitly disruptive, though I can see how it may be seen that way. The debacle earlier over the content of the 'Babadook' movie page is being worked on- I've presented my case on the talk page, and I have no intent to harm or disrupt Wikipedia. I thought that my username would be a silly nod towards what I was doing, which is simply recording the use of the Babadook by the LGBT community. I assure you that I have only the best intentions, and I'm not attempting to discredit the film or bring harm to the Wikipedia community. However, I likely will fill out the form to request a name change, just so i can spell 'Babadook' correctly. Thanks for bringing this up to me, because the last thing I want to do is be disruptive, or make a mockery of the site. Cheers, The Babbadook is Gay (talk) 05:27, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

user name discussion

Hello, LotsaGourmetButteredToast. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name at Wikipedia:Changing username following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:39, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

PS I don't feel it's disruptive, but someone posted to WP:UAA. I think the matter needs discussion and started the WP:RFC. Sorry to be bearer of bad news.Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:40, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much. At this point, I think the name may just be too much trouble, and I'll change it to something that still keeps the spirit of what I'm doing, without violating any policies. PS, I know you're just the messenger, and I should have been a little more thoughtful when creating my username. Thanks again, The Babbadook is Gay (talk) 06:05, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

So sorry for the aggravation. Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

But now, this user name makes me hungry. Reported immediately to WP:RFC/USERNAME#REMINDERSOFNICEFOOD :p :D — O Fortuna ^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 16:39, 9 June 2017 (UTC)</small?>
