  • the Username should have the form Username, that means
    • exactly 8 (ocho) letters
    • only letters of the latin alphabet (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz). Only the first letter upper case (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) No numbers, no äöüáéíó ...
    • strongly preferred are usernames that are related to your real name
    • Username examples
  • avoid
    • the word tango. Here we are all Tangofrank, Tangoman, Tanguero, Tangoholic etc.
    • city names. This could be confusing. You are probably not the only one from that city.
      • a mixture of name and cityname is absolutly ok. like Nylipkin (New York), Harryfra (Frankfurt)
    • avoid milonguero, dj, ... it is very likely to have lots of DJs and milongueros here. This is then not very qualifying to have your name start or end with "dj". avoid things like Djthomas.
  • after registration it would be nice if you write something about yourself on your user page. Examples: User:Tobiasco, User:Herbertm, User:Potranca or at least, it would be nice if you say in which country you live.

Why ocho letters

  • users that sign in later shall not have the disadvantage of longer names, vs users that sign in early and get shorter.
  • presenting all username in a list gives a more harmonious picture if they are of equal length
