Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Category:Haunted attractions. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Valley2city^‽ 19:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 for the following reason: Promotional Username. 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:

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 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.

Thank you. Valley2city^‽ 19:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

My username reflects a common name I use on several internet services, for example: Myspace.com, Youtube.com, a Gmail account, etc. etc... I have only ONE username and ONE password that I use for EVERYTHING. This makes it easier for me to log-in and remember accounts across the web.

As for advertising, I'm not at fault... several "haunted attractions" are listed in the catagories section of Wikipedia... by your guidlines this is advertising. I'm don't know how to add our haunt to the catagory so I just "edited this page". Please, feel free to remove anything you see as advertising, but also let me know how I can add our URL to the catagory as we are the biggest haunt in Kentucky and I'm a very influential member of the haunt industry!

Thank you! -Tyler
