My concern about your username
Hello, Boyleharry, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
Specifically, the reason that I am concerned is that you've chosen a username that closely resembles that of my own.
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 Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
- You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Harryboyles 07:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Reasons
Sorry Harryboyles for any concern my username may have raised. I believe that we will be able to come to an agreement without having to go to Wikipedia's dispute resolution process.
The reasons for my name are plain and simple. 1. My real name is Harry - hence having harry in my name. 2. My nicname at scholl is Boyle - hence having boyle at the beginning of my name.
I can assure you that this was not an attempt to to use or in some way mock your name. I would like to be able to keep my name as it is though, and believe my reasons are justified. Please contact me back to continue this discussion.--Boyleharry 07:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Name
{{helpme}}
I have just created an account with the name boyleharry, for reasons shown above. As you can see this is very similar to that of user:harryboyles. I was hoping for some suggestions on what actions i should take regarding this matter.--Boyleharry 10:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- As pointed out by HarryBoyles.. Your best option is to change your name to something else via Wikipedia:Changing username so that it would be easier fro other editors to communicate with you and not mix you up with HarryBoyles..Cheers..--Cometstyles 10:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
If harry boyles is unhappy about the confusion that may arise, then he should change his name. the names don't worry me.--Boyleharry 10:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Relationship
{{helpme}}
Has anyone on wikipedia actually ever been in a relationship. It would definatly surprise me if you had. You all need to realise that wiki is not a way to social glory. You need to get out more.
- Please do not abuse the helpme template. --After Midnight 0001 02:48, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Help
{{helpme}}
I am not abusing the helpme template, i am using it correctly so i can get answers to my questions. Even if i was abusing it, it would be no different to how you abused my rights as a wikipedian by blocking me.
