Adminster's Talk

Please read the Move policy regarding contentious moves made without establishing consensus. You did not even attempt the least bit of discussion to sound out other editors before effecting your changes. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 18:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rudimentary factual errors must always be corrected on the spot. Adminster (talk) 18:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is now a dispute as to what constitutes fact, this will require discussion and Requested moves. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no fact in dispute. Adminster (talk) 18:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He is just looking for a way around the 3 R's rule. I think he is upset at something. Adminster (talk) 19:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Username

Hello,

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Your username contains the word "admin" which is prohibited by the username policy.. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. –xeno (talk) 19:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has already been approved. It has been this way for years. Best wishes! Adminster (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't quite approved, it was simply not actioned. I've opened a new RFCN here: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names#Adminster, where your participation is encouraged. –xeno (talk) 19:33, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
