User talk:Federalhelp
July 2019[edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Help desk, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 13:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Possible user name policy issue[edit]
Hi there. Please take a look at WP:USERNAME. Each user must have a unique non-shared name. User names that imply shared use are therefore not acceptable as are those that appear to be "official" or corporate names or the names of a position rather than an individual. The name "Federalhelp" might look to others like an official or position name. I think it's marginal, since I don't really think anyone other than a credulous four-year-old would believe that there is a position within the government that is responsible for all help issues. On the other hand, some people might believe that such consolidation into single individual or office might explain why it's difficult to get help from the government :-) In any event, please think about this and consider using a new name. Since your current name has almost no activity on Wikipedia, you can just abandon it and create a new account and place a note here to that effect: no need to do a formal name change. -Arch dude (talk) 17:02, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
