- Bureaucrat note: @Auewald: This account doesn't have to be renamed; you can just not use it if you've created another account. Acalamari 16:48, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
The reason the name needs to be changed is that when I did a search for the correct spelling - Auenwald (with an N, which is the account I created once I noticed the mistake (using a different email address), Wikipedia returned Auewald, without the N as the result. It did NOT say "were you looking for Auewald?", it actually gave Auewald as the result. Auenwald (with N) is the account I will be using permanently and I want to make sure that searches lead to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auewald (talk • contribs) 17:02, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
It was a very strange behavior which looked like Wikipedia wasn't distinguishing between Auewald and Auenwald. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auewald (talk • contribs) 17:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
- When I put "Auenwald" into the search, it took me to Auenwald; putting "Aenwald" in the search asked me if I meant "Auenwald". When I typed in "User:Auenwald", it took me to User:Auenwald, which is your non-yet-created userpage link. Acalamari 17:55, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

- Clerk note: You are confusing a username with an article name, which are two different things. You created your page in the user namespace, which is used to develop an article before it is released into the main namespace. Also, you're currently blocked because your username is promotional. You're better off creating a new account, one that you as an individual (not as a group) will use. You cannot use a company name as your username.@CooP-Africa: --k6ka (talk | contribs) 18:35, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
