User talk:Clevelander

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hi, Clevelander, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay. You may have noticed that there was some content at your userpage that you didn't put there, or that there were some edits in your contribution history that you didn't make. This is because there was another editor who used your username in the past. His account has long since been renamed (which is why you were able to register this name.) This is all in the process of being sorted out. You don't have to do anything, I'm just filling you in.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! -- Vary | Talk 21:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, another editor has brought up a very good point; there are many, many talkpage contributions that were signed by the editor who previously had this name before the name change, and those signatures will still point to this username. Because of that, this username should have been re-created after the name change to prevent someone finding themselves in exactly your situation. Since you've only just started using the account, it's probably simpler for you to either request a name change or just register a new account. Let me know if you have any questions by adding a message at my talk page (see Wikipedia:Talk page if you're not sure how to do that), and again, sorry for all the confusion. -- Vary | Talk 16:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 02:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New name?

Hi, my former username was "Clevelander" before I got it changed to "Aivazovsky". To avoid any confusion, could you perhaps request changing your username maybe to "Clevelander2" or something else? Thanks in advance! All the best, Aivazovsky (talk) 21:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
