Disruptive?

Hello. Thank you for removing another editor's slightly-disguised email address from my Talk page, which I guess was more or less at their request. All good. I am just slightly confused by the "purely disruptive" edit summary – I certainly have not done anything disruptive and I don't think the other guy did? I was a little surprised to see it characterized thus. Cheers DBaK (talk) 11:46, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered: Well, I had to pick a summary to use (and we're not supposed to say "OSable material, pretty please don't look :)" in the revdel summary). I usually just select RD2 or RD3. (See also User_talk:K6ka/Archives/2018/August#Just_a_reminder) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 15:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aha! Interesting, thanks! As long as no-one thought I was being disruptive, all cool. I'm very grateful for the explanation. Cheers DBaK (talk) 22:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FinanceGuy

Hi K6ka, sorry for the delayed response; I was on wikibreak. I carefully reviewed the FinanceGuy request before declining it. My decision wasn't based solely on Google results; I declined it because I've encountered similar requests in the past, where users in good standing with similar usernames were asked to change their usernames. After considering your opinion, I am now ready to reconsider my decision. Please let me know if you would still like me to proceed. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer: Perhaps there still isn't really a complete consensus on how to handle those requests. The way I see it, it's not a problem if the chosen username is coincidentally the name of a website or company (see this request from 2015). "Oh So Lucky" is not a name that would immediately give the connotation that it's promotional or the name of a company. Assuming a user with that name edited with no problem for several years, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense if someone Googled their name and had them blocked because a website with the same name appeared on page two. I suppose there are people who would follow the letter to the law and insist it's an inappropriate name, but that feels like Wikilawyering to me. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree with your perspective. I know these kinds of requests need to be handled with care. I'll make sure to take your opinions into account when dealing with similar requests in the future. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
