Redirect from User:Shiva
Trouble is, that user's been active as recently as this July, not as you stated, 2003. You might want to check at WP:USURP as to whether you can change your user name to that, or indeed to "usurp" it as a secondary account. Per WP:USERNAME, you might also give some consideration to using a part-Latinised signature. Alai 19:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I hadn't checked that user's contrib log. I assumed it was unused because that user's last talk page edit was in 2003. I now have User:Śiva redirect to my user page and have it linked in my signature. Is this an acceptable solution? शिव 19:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable. If you haven't registered User:Śiva already, can you do so, to make sure the same problem doesn't arise later?  Thanks.  Alai 20:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
