Reason: Hey guys, just following up on the admin request below; we wanted to change the name to MJETeamWiki so as to be transparent and not promotional (the reason cited for rejecting the name change in the correspondence) - can you explain to me why this change is problematic? It follows Wikipedia Best Practice Guidelines for PR Professionals

LRTeam Wiki: Wikipedia requires that accounts are used by one person, not by a group, team, or company. If you want to edit as a team, each team member should have their own account. If you are editing under the same IP address, consider using the {{

I'm not taking offense as to TempUName wanting a similar name as I, but what might be somewhat contentious is the "real" part. To some, it might give the illusion that I'm a sock/impersonator of somebody. Maybe you should change it to something else that would not warrant confusion?

xeno Which is why I didn't report it to
WP:UAA. You at taking one part of
WP:BADNAME as blanket policy. I "considered leaving well alone" and decided against it. The name is a blatant violation. So I want with "Talk to the user". I did nothing wrong and am getting quite annoyed at the varying interpretations of a rather clear policy. I've learned to not report editless names to
WP:UAA unless they are patently offensive. Now you're telling me to not template clear violations unless they edit? I think I'll follow the guidelines instead. It's been working well for a few months now.

Reason: Hey guys, just following up on the admin request below; we wanted to change the name to MJETeamWiki so as to be transparent and not promotional (the reason cited for rejecting the name change in the correspondence) - can you explain to me why this change is problematic? It follows Wikipedia Best Practice Guidelines for PR Professionals

I'm not taking offense as to TempUName wanting a similar name as I, but what might be somewhat contentious is the "real" part. To some, it might give the illusion that I'm a sock/impersonator of somebody. Maybe you should change it to something else that would not warrant confusion?

xeno Which is why I didn't report it to
WP:UAA. You at taking one part of
WP:BADNAME as blanket policy. I "considered leaving well alone" and decided against it. The name is a blatant violation. So I want with "Talk to the user". I did nothing wrong and am getting quite annoyed at the varying interpretations of a rather clear policy. I've learned to not report editless names to
WP:UAA unless they are patently offensive. Now you're telling me to not template clear violations unless they edit? I think I'll follow the guidelines instead. It's been working well for a few months now.
