Username concerns[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Shonlock, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of a musician who has an article on Wikipedia, which could lead to confusion. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do not violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Shonlock. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- More importantly, do not infringe copyrights, as that edit seems to have done. The text appears to have been copied from Shonlock's website. —C.Fred (talk) 19:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
