WP:USERNAME
Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy for the following reason: appears to cause confusion with relationship to a specific entity, per Misplaced Pages:Username#Company/group names. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
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 Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Misplaced Pages administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
- You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Misplaced Pages:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
Thank you. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Your editing problems at CIBC
I saw the situation in passing and thought I'd drop a line. First, I think the editor referring to you as a vandal is over-reacting. One important policy at Misplaced Pages is to assume good faith. Accusing someone of vandalism who is merely attempting to edit is a bit ]. I will send a message his way reminding him of that. The issue at hand seems to be how you are editing that article. Misplaced Pages cannot be used as a reference for Misplaced Pages, as articles shouldn't be self-referential. In other words, we shouldn't really be referring to Misplaced Pages unless it's necessary. If you feel that the information is incorrect, and you don't have an outside reference, the best thing to do is to bring it to the article talk page. Editors can then collaboratively to find a proper source. What you are pointing out is a consistency issue, which does happen. If you can make the change, feel free to do so, but sometimes it is best to mention it on the talk page first. If you haven't received it yet, I will post a standard welcome message below, which gives some basics about Misplaced Pages. Cheers! freshacconci talktalk 01:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
