Rename

You should know that because you recreated your old account, none of the edits are going to transfer to the new username. Just wanted to let you know. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:01, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Here are some cookies to welcome you! :D

It sort of feels like I should give you a housewarming gift since you moved! ^^ --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 11:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Noticed the name change. Continue to have fun editing --KrebMarkt 13:54, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks...cookies always rock :-) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 15:39, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

What?? I did NOT recreate the old account?? As soon as you said the change was done, I logged out and have used this name exclusively. I need those edits to transfer!! *cry* Does this mean now that both my old account and my new one are messed up and unrepairable? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 15:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Why would you think none of the edits are going to transferred Nihon? They may be lagging behind, or it may have stalled out, but they will/can be transferred. (They are attached to the userrid of the new username... A dev may need to do it if it stalled, same thing happened to me on my rename). –xeno^talk 15:36, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Because it appeared that the account had been recreated. The logs showed it was autocreated yesterday, which means she was logged in on another site with her old universal login, then visited a page here, thereby autocreating the account again. When I checked, all the old edits still appeared to be attached to the old account, but it appears they have been transferred now. Perhaps it was a browser cache thing (though I forced a reload and it didn't change at the time). ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

It seems there are still many edits under each: new, old. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:52, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

It's like a long train, the engine and a few of the cars are at the station, the rest will follow (or not, in which a dev will need to shovel some coal in the burner). –xeno^talk 18:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Weird...I went and did the requests on a few wikis where I had edits, but I did those all at the same time. This was the first to fulfill it though and I logged out right after seeing the message about it, which logged me out of all the others too. It does seem to have possibly stalled, though, after moving the June 09 ones over. :-( -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

It's doubtful you did anything to cause this. It is no doubt bugzilla:17313. If the rest of the edits don't catch up within 2 weeks, you should try looking for a dev. –xeno^talk 20:28, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Good to know. To my amusement, no more edits have transferred yet...but my block log did (which really will confuse anyone who sees the blocks from 08 with no edits LOL) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 04:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Looks like some of the 07 edits have moved, but that's about it. Just over 1k so far... :-( I thought maybe my being off-wiki might help. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 06:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

You had me rather confused there for a while... and it seems like the edits started to transfer:) G.A.S^talk 16:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Congrats on the rename, don't lose too much hair/sleep/etc. over the (hopefully temporarily) misplaced edits... =) --Dinoguy1000 (talk · contribs) as 67.58.229.153 (talk) 05:06, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I have more edits than you. :-P I liked your old name better, but you gotta do what you gotta do (I've been in the same situation before). Hope it gets better. Mike Allen 05:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Disagree, new username is much better, plus you will have a lot fewer people mistaking your gender. 98.82.23.93 (talk) 18:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

VG reviews template follow up

Just following up on a past discussion. {{VG reviews}} has undergone some changes recently, and the documentation has been expanded. Not all the changes originally discussed were implemented. But the template is a little leaner, and the documentation is much stronger and more in-line with the practices of the VG project.

If you'd like to make some suggestions and comments, please feel free to do so at the latest thread at the project talk page. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC))

Proposed article deletions

Hi there. Despite creating the articles 2010 Biobio earthquakes and 2010 Andaman Islands earthquake myself, I now agree with you that they are non-notable. Like many other Wikipedia editors, I got carried away with earthquakes after Chile and Haiti. However, more recently I saw the light and realised all these earthquake articles were getting a bit silly. On the AfD talk page, I have made a few suggestions of my own, if you want to check this out. Justmeagain83 (talk) 03:58, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Wolf: A Journey Home FAC

Hey. Like the new username. Anyway, I spotted your comments at the above FAC in reply to Charles; do you think it might be worth toning down your rebuttal a bit? He's a decent reviewer, and while seeing an "oppose" at FAC can be galling, he tends to lodge one even when the issues he's highlighted are few, or minor. And that's a perfectly valid choice; more often than not Charles strikes the oppose and ends up supporting when concerns have been tackled, or (and this is crucial) successfully rebutted by the nominator (I used to do this too). If you disagree with him, that's fine, but you're far more likely to convince him you're right with a slightly less combative approach. (Incidentally, I opened a discussion on the copied citations thing not long after I saw his comments, as I've seen the concern raised at a number of FACs recently). Have a good one, Steve ^T • C 14:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
