User page and other concerns[edit]

First, I have blanked your user page, because it was a copy-and-paste from the United Kingdom article. There is no need for a complete duplication, and there are issues with the GFDL to have copied the text in that fashion.

Second, while it is pretty obvious that this account does not officially represent the UK, nonetheless I have concerns that it may violate the username guidelines. The name of a company cannot be used as a username, and by extension, the formal name of a country, used as you have, does not appear to be a suitable name. If you plan to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, I would suggest changing your username.

Finally, your experimentation with User:Cyrusmilleyhannana was inappropriate. Please confine further experiments to the Wikipedia:Sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 15:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
