Username Concern

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

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:

Thank you. --Tckma 15:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Tckma. I'm sorry my username has caused concern to you, it's just that my handle online is usually carboxymoron, and I was attempting a twist on it. Since it does not fall under the 5 possible objections as the username policy states, I don't see how this should be a problem. As you have suggested, we can use the dispute settlement - but first, I'd like to know WHY you think this username is in any way contravening the policy. If there is a good reason, I shall be more than willing to change my handle.

Thanks.Carboxy's moron 15:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal response

[edit]

As someone whose currently waiting to hear back from law school, I figured I'd look into your request. Does Nuremberg Defense cover what your thinking? If not, I know a good deal about the site coding and could take sourced prose and "wikify" it to some extent. MBisanz talk 22:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a workable article topic. So my suggestion is that you get your sources together, create the beginning of an article, either in your userspace or in the article space, and drop me a line and I'll start formatting and what not. Just remember, the articles here need to reflect the outside sources, no our synthesis or original research. Cheers. MBisanz talk 22:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you look here Wikipedia:CITE we have every imaginable way to cite anything. If you don't want to bother reading all that, you can just fill im template from this table Wikipedia:Citation_templates. If something seems like its not working, just drop it on the article's talk page and I'll take a shot at it. And citing non-web or pay-per-view sources is perfectly acceptable (and even encouraged).

Re: An article on Superior Orders

[edit]

In response to your request at the Village pump:
There are some very savvy people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Law who will be better suited to the task than a general editor. They'd know off-hand how to tie things together. Post your request to WT:WikiProject Law to garner the help you need. -- Fullstop (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point Fullstop, he might also look to Portal talk:Law for some guidance. MBisanz talk 22:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
