From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Plese move User:Acid to "Father Time." I like this name better. Acid remindes me of the rude person I was.
    • USer Father Time already exists. You'd have to suggest another username. Check if a desired username is available by using this: Special:Listusers User:Nichalp/sg 04:46, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
      • You can also use the edit count statistics thing - [1] and by making your chosen name as link ie User:MyNewName you can see if there is a user contributions link. This will pick up accounts with no contributions. Secretlondon 08:51, 10 September 2005 (UTC)


  • Please, I made a mistake. I create 2 users User:Weber ress and User:Weber Ress. Please, delete the user User:Weber ress. Sorry for the trouble.
    • We can't delete the account, but we'll block the account permanently instead. User:Nichalp/sg 06:00, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
      • Thank's Nic. A question: If you block the account User:Weber ress, it don't appear in a search ? If you block this account, only the account Weber Ress will be appear in a search? If yes, please, block the User:Weber ress account.
        • Yes, it will appear in a user search, but we can't delete it. I have already permanently blocked the second account on your request. You can redirect the main & talk page of User:Weber ress to point to your main and talk pages. User:Nichalp/sg 18:00, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
          • Thank's again Nic. A last question: How I create the redirect in my old username ?
            • Use the syntax #REDIRECT [[name of the page]]. In this case #REDIRECT [[User:Weber Ress]] . I've gone ahead and fixed the redirects for you. PS. Please sign your posts with four tildes i.e.: ~~~~ Thanks. User:Nichalp/sg 05:01, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please, change my old account/username on Slovenian wikipedia, sl.wikipedia.org User:Pagole to my new account Pag, including my old edit history from my old account username User:Pagole to my new account/username Pag. Thanks.--pag 23:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • We can only change accounts in the en wikipedia. If the sl wikipedia does not have a bureaucrat, then you may contact a steward at meta:requests for permission. User:Nichalp/sg 05:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)


  • Please delete user "Rmodnar". I created that account with the wrong username. I have already created a new account, so the old account is no longer needed. Thanks!
    • We can't delete an account. Should we block the account permanently instead? [Will block in a day's time if no obj. are raised] User:Nichalp/sg 05:45, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
      • Probably no need to block it if it's not in use anyway. Angela. 06:43, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Please delete/move User:Joshua, user registered username but enever made a single edit. I want to use User:Joshua for a bot. --Cool Cat My Talk 00:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
    • We can't do that. You'll have to give your bot a different name. Sorry. Secretlondon 14:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
      • But it wasnt ever used, unlikely it will be ever used. --Cool Cat My Talk 05:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Well I'm not prepared to set the precedent that apparently inactive accounts can be deleted. Unless anyone else does you'll have to give your bot a less witty name.. Secretlondon 15:14, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
    • A bad name for a bot; see: WarGames — Davenbelle 06:19, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
      • Exactly what I was thinking...:D — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 02:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
        • In wargames based on Joshua people determined defcon. --Cool Cat My Talk 13:28, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
          • As the user's WP:DEFCON has been abandoned I presume this request has lapsed. Secretlondon 23:19, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
