dear welcome to wikipedia unfortunately using your e mail address as your username is not a good idea wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world any edit you make on wikipedia will have your username attached to it and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers we recommend that you change your username at wikipedia changing username in order to prevent abuse however if you have very few or no edits it might just be easier to create a new account if you need any help simply contact me on my talk page or go to wikipedia help desk another option is to place on your own talk page and someone will come shortly to help remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes again welcome bryant
