NAME CHANGE OF USER

Hello, I am Bucho457, and as your you are bureaucrat I want that you change the user name to me. The reason by which it is that I work like Bucho in wiki Spanish. Bucho457 16:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Blanket accusations against other editors.

Do you normally make serious accusations of racism against other editors whenever they disagree with you, or just this once? --lucid 18:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. I frequently lurk at RfCN, and also noticed your comment, diff'd above, in response to Lucid. My hope is that you did not intend for it to come across as it did, but it did come across pretty terribly. While I almost certainly would have agreed that the username in question should have been disallowed, I believe Lucid was acting in good faith to try and understand your reasoning and better express his concerns with the username block. I believe Lucid was concerned with what he believed may have been an unnecessary (or, at least, inadequately discussed) disallow. Your response that he was "sympathetic to their cause," in that context, sounds alarmingly as if you were alleging he had some appreciation for racial supremacy. Again, I hope and expect that was not what you intended, but I also ask you to please clarify your comment to eliminate any uncertainty. Thanks! Take care,   justen   08:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I read it as trolling, I apologise for not asuming good faith. It is a very clear cut case. Secretlondon 09:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

500+ renames

Hi, good to see you around the rename pages again. As you can see, there are a lot more hands helping out there since Andrevan and Deskana became crats last month so hopefully no one will have to shoulder all the work for quite so long in future. Just thought you might like to know that your last batch of renames means you've now renamed over 500 users! That's the third most of all the crats... WjBscribe 01:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of User talk:Anthony cfc/Userpage

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User talk:Anthony cfc/Userpage, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because User talk:Anthony cfc/Userpage is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting User talk:Anthony cfc/Userpage, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Revised welcome

Hello! I am replying to a post you made on my talk page. Anyway, I've been toying with an original welcome template now that I joined the Welcoming Committee. Anyway, I'm posting below my current draft. Again, I wanted to be original and so I came up with the ten best/most helpful essays and guidelines I have so far come across on Wikipedia as the core of the welcome. Here is my revised version:

Hello, Secretlondon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. We hope you like this website and decide to continue improving it. Here are ten pages that you might find helpful:

• User:Cream147/essays/Why is it important to cite our sources on Wikipedia?
• User:Durova/The dark side
• User:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy
• User:Rfwoolf#Constructive_Criticism_on_current_Wiki_Deletion_Policy
• Wikipedia:Article development
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Don't always assume sockpuppetry
• Wikipedia:Give an article a chance
• Wikipedia:How to edit a page
• Wikipedia:What Isn't Grounds for Article Deletion

Please also remember to avoid such un-encyclopedic and overused words in discussions on Wikipedia as “cruft,” “very,” and “indiscriminate.”

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, we hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), as doing so will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Non latin usernames

Hi Secretlondon. Thanks for the note. I personally felt it wasn't a good idea, and I'm not sure I agree totally with that policy. I guess it's to do with the upcoming unified login. Anyway, feel free to rename him if you wish. You're more experienced than I as a bureaucrat, and I will not contest the rename. :-) --Deskana (banana) 17:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

If that's the consensus, then I think you're right, we'd better go with it. I guess really there's very little practical difference between the oe character and an accent, like you said. And if he reregisters User:L'oeuf after we rename him and puts redirects there, then we're all sorted. --Deskana (banana) 17:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
