User talk:CommonMed
February 2013[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Doctorlynn@hotmail.com", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because your username uses an email address, which may be inappropriate. 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, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. hmssolent\Let's convene My patrols 02:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
RESPONSE: I didn't know an email address is not an acceptable user name, and many times on other sites it is required. I'm happy to change it. How about: CommonKnowledgeMed or something similar. CommonMed, CommonMed001, ComMed001, etc.
However I need to know the new name if I sign into my account. My email is listed under my account information. The current username is a very old email account, I rarely use. My main email account at this time is a gmail account already listed with Wikipedia.
Please let me know what you change it to. Thanks, Dennis Lynn, MD

Greetings[edit]
First I'd like to thank you for the gift of your time spent improving this encyclopedia. I did see a need to reiterate the above comment regarding your username. I will ask a friend to contact and assist you. Cheers. My76Strat (talk) 15:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Doctorlynn. My76Strat asked me to drop by; it looks like CommonMed is available as a username if you would like it. I can make that change for you, just leave a note on my talk page and I will be happy to assist. Happy editing, 28bytes (talk) 02:50, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- The username doesn't violate policy, the policy changed a few years after the account was created because it was no longer possible to create new accounts with names containing "@". Peter James (talk) 09:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
