Inspired (Schools Group)
Hi there! I created Draft:Inspired (Schools Group). The article has been properly stated as a COI contribution. Thank you for reviewing the draft! I have cleaned it up of unnecessary biased language. Will you kindly advise on how to improve the style before I resubmit, in order for it to be moved into the public space? It would be much appreciated! -- Page Perigrination (talk) 07:57, 18 September 2018 (GMT+2)

@Simonsez111: Your welcome. Once you have adequate sourcing and non original info, you can move submit it for AFC or review. It seems you may have a COI and a bad history with the article. See the teahouse or other help desks to ensure the article will qualify for the GNG. AmericanAir88 20:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ZH8000. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Road traffic safety have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Possibly an error. ZH8000 (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- @ZH8000: Ah, I see the problem. JWB's "Typo tool" removed the commas and such. Thank you. AmericanAir88 15:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

wording at cleanup
You're doing very good work there , but it's draftified, not drafted. And just fyi, we're currently dealing with many drafts that people have moved by themselves into article space, and I and a few others have been busy in the last few days moving them back. expect some complaints.

- @DGG: Ah ok. I will assist in what ever you need me to do. Do you need any help with something? AmericanAir88 13:33, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Eighty eight problems...
In case you were unaware, editors repeatedly asking you about the 88 in your username is likely due to 88 having unfortunately become a white nationalist dogwhistle. I think it's pretty clear from your answers that this is not why it's in your username, but it's something you should be aware of, especially if you plan on participating in potentially politically charged disputes on admin noticeboards where someone may jump to the wrong conclusions on the basis of your username. signed, Rosguill 20:43, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Rosguill: Thank you for this. I really had no idea at all. I just personally liked the number 88 and thought it looked cool with AA. Thank you again. AmericanAir88 20:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- IMO, this is pretty a pretty obscure reference and shouldn't be held against him. It is also used in amateur radio to mean "love and kisses" and in Chinese culture to mean fortune and good luck. --rogerd (talk) 15:51, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
RfA
Hi AA88, unfortunately, I think your RfA is unlikely to succeed as it is under the current discretionary rage of 65% support. I think it would likely be best if you withdrew your RfA. At the same time, I think you should consider adminship in the future, and if you want advice on how to improve, you should feel free to reach out to me. I could easily see you passing an RfA in 6-12 months with some work :) Also, on the off chance you do want to change your username due to any unfortunate connotations with neo-nazis, well, I can also do that for you too as a global renamer :) TonyBallioni (talk) 15:26, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- no. There is nothing wrong with your user name. I have never heard of this connection before today, and it is not your fault. This is total BS! --rogerd (talk) 15:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- rogerd, you'll see from my comments at the RfA that I agree with you, but I was offering it should AA88 want to. I don't think the attacks are fair, but sometimes people want to avoid things after it has been pointed out to them.

AA's Comment
@TonyBallioni: Its causing me a great deal of thinking power to make a decision. In my eyes, I want to see it through to show that I will not let the opposes ruin my motivation. I want to do what is best for the community and I want to stay strong as well.

I am also hesitant to change my name. AA88 is my identity and it has been part of my since I was younger. I have always loved planes and found AA88 to be a cool acronym. I feel like changing my name would make me lose identity and may feel like a restart. I want to keep my name.
