Your custom signature
Your custom signature appears to violate the first policy/guideline constraint expressed at WP:CUSTOMSIG/P. I suggest renaming your user account if you want to keep that signature. — BarrelProof (talk) 17:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- You're the first person to make such a suggestion—no admin I've interacted with has said anything about it in the 12 years I've used this combination. I will relay this matter privately to an admin for discussion. Please do not instigate any changes to my username or signature until I've discussed the matter.
— Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 22:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC)- Hi BarrelProof I don't think thaat it does violate WP:CUSTOMSIG/P, "A customised signature should make it easy to identify your username". If you hover over the signature then DeNoel is visible and that's clear. The only thing that would be a problem is if there was no link to here or their user page. They are not the only user to have a signature that doesn't match the user name. One of the more notable is Timtrent (sorry for the ping) who signs as Fiddle Faddle.

- CambridgeBayWeather, happy to be pinged. I agree, neither you nor I violate this policy. Fiddle Faddle 13:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up. Personally, I found it a bit confusing, since someone engaged in a talk page discussion might say "I agree with DeNoel" when there is no obvious participation by DeNoel in the conversation (and searching the discussion for DeNoel would find nothing unless you search the source code). But if it is commonly tolerated, I defer, of course. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
