Usernames
editMs Austin, I strongly recommend that you file a request to get your username changed, because your current username very strongly evokes the Essjay controversy. Please note that you are not blocked from editing at this time. DS (talk) 11:44, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- After consulting, I have also deleted the user page. This is because it contains a person's name, town, and email address (and nothing else). Given the provocative name (as Dragonfly points out), I'm uncomfortable with personal details being on-wiki connected with it. FT2 (Talk | email) 17:37, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concern about 'Essjay8' - I had no idea about the controversy but have since read it. I shall change my username.Essjay8 (talk) 17:37, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Waterbaby is taken, you can WP:USURP it, but this typically takes seven days. Is there another username you had in mind? –xenotalk 18:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Xeno and apologies, I didn't do a thorough enough search. I will put in a request for Waterbaby8 (have definitely checked it's available)at the Changing Userame page Essjay8 (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
