ElectricTrivia

Please change User:tyrers@carleton.edu to User:ElectricTrivia.

I created this username with my e-mail address thinking it only would be for my account login and didn't know others would be able to see it. I have no desire to let my e-mail address be public knowledge. I would change the e-mail address if I could but it's part of the college directory and I need to be able to use it constantly. While I now know that username changes must be recorded, I would greatly appreciate it if at the very least the @carleton.edu part could be kept out of public records. I get almost no spam at the current moment while it's only a matter of time before I get on every spammer's mailing list if my address remains out in the open. Anything that could be done to remove any mention of my e-mail address would be fantastic. I would ask for account deletion if I thought there was any chance of that happening. Thank you.

i've been asked to edit my user name User_talk:5318008, please can you change user:5318008 to the only other thing i'm really known as, which would be new_matt

thanks

Done. Please note, the system does not allow usernames with an initial lowercase letter, nor does it allow underscores, so the name was automatically changed to New matt; the login system is very sensitive, so be sure you use the initial capital and leave out the underscore.

Recover

This is really weird, my user is User:Recover but when I sign with the tildes it says ReCover. I would like to all my things as ReCover (with the uppercase C). I do not believe this is the way it is "meant to be" because on the Swedish Wikipedia my username is ReCover in both places.

Could this be "fixed" in some manner? --ReCover 18:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. And yes, you may redirect the old userpage, but only if you re-register the old account to prevent someone else from doing so. If not, the username is available (anyone may register it); if someone did so, they would be entitled to the userpage. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 09:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RainbowWarrior/Habasi

I've created a new account under the name Habasi because I didn't read the guidelines on changing usernames - is it possible to delete my old RainbowWarrior account (which is almost identical to my email address, as well as being rather a naff name in general) and transfer the edits on that account to my new one? I only ask because I'd rather keep my edit history so far if it's at all possible.

Thank you, RainbowWarrior 20:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you confirm (by editing this page) that you have the Habasi account as well, we can rename it to something else, and rename RainbowWarrior to Habasi. Alternatively, if you would prefer to be changed to something else, just let us know what. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 06:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please change user name User:Kalitan Jagvonjeul to User:Marlon Fire Thunder Please see my reason for this request on User Kalitan Jagvonjeul discussion page with AmiDaniel and National parks. (Long story). I can not use this name anymore since it is also now showing on the google search engine. Being that it is linked to my other name. I now realise that anthing linked to my name shows up fast. This name belongs to an associate of mine and has asked me not to use it any more. I did not know or expect that all this history and infomation could be recorded under this name. I was under the impression that discussions on a talk page could be deleted or blanked out by the user. I found out this is not the case. thank you Kalitan Jagvonjeul 22:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pocahantes

Hi Essjay, this is Elizabeth, can you change my real User name Elizabeth McKenzie to Pocahantes; being that for the last 10 days my personal email address has been posted on every search engine. This was a malicious posting by one of your volunteers whom I specifically asked not to post. Doesn't anyone oversee these college grad(?) volunteers or do they have full reign of what they do and say. The posting is still on the wikipedia vilage pump assistance page and I want my name deleted from it off once and for all. I think this is not only unprofessional, but also unethical and a violation of my privacy. Obviously, any re-direction of name change is futile without first deleting my personal information.

My office computer IP is 67.86.180.17. Also, referring to myself and my collegues as "sock poppets" is disgusting - and their claims of impersonating anyone are also infantile!!! If you give me a number, I would be more than happy to speak directly with you or the ones making this claim, then maybe they would stop these prankster accusations.

The heyoka article and sacred clown should be creditd to user Marlon Fire Thunder. I have written to Kat Walsh at the help desk and opened a help ticket as a formal complaint. The next person that I will contact will be Jimmy Wales if this doesn't get resolved immediately. Wikipedia has enough negative press as it is and I am shocked that they haven't revised their business standards so that they don't attract so much negative attention and act as professionals not arrogant, ignorant and malicious watchdogs.

I look forward to your reply. Thanks, Elizabeth.ElizabethMckenzie 15:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. If you've taken it to OTRS and Jimbo, then it's really out of our hands. I'm sure they'll take care of it. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 23:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
