[edit] Email usage

There is a small flaw in this procedure, that is requesting admins to email when a request is unsuccessful. I am not prepared to jeopardise my email account in this way. My solution is to post on the IPs talk page - not guaranteed but ... --Golden Wattle ^talk 05:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll do e-mail addresses if necessary for you. I have an e-mail address set up for Wikipedia only, so it's not that big a deal for me. Ral315 » 09:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I will as well - here's the template that I use when an account is taken.

Hello,
Thank you for expressing an interest in becoming a Wikipedia user!
Unfortunately, the username you requested at [diff of IP requesting it at the RAA page] - [Username requested] - is already registered.
If you wish to have an account created for you, please either create a new request with the new username request at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Request_an_account or ask me directly, at my user talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Daniel.Bryant
Cheers,
Daniel Bryant
Wikipedia administrator

Thoughts? Suggestions? I need to add a "If this wasn't you who requested this username..." bit, but don't know about the wording. Cheers, Daniel Bryant 08:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
