WP:CHU/S
Hi. I would like to change my user name but I fear one or two things may be preventing me from doing so. I have not long had an account. Also, I have not made many contributions. In this situation, can I still be allowed to change my user name? ArmsRaceJosh-1000 (talk) 07:23, 21 May 2021 (UTC) (moved from WP:CHU/S)
 * Yes, you can request a change of username. The policies are at m:GRP & WP:U. Cabayi (talk) 07:38, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

User:Cabayi. Thanks. So, I wish to change my name but I have experienced a problem which is that the system is falsely telling me that it is unavailable. I was planning to create the name and then write in the user page that it was an alternative account, but I never got round to it. Which is funny, because when I checked the name at contributions, what did I find? No such username, and no user talk, so no contribs. Wierd. Is there a way around this?

 * Please don't start discussions on WP:CHU/S, the page is managed by a bot which has expectations of what it will find - expectations which are limited to rename requests, not questions about the process.
 * "the system is falsely telling me that it is unavailable" - I could check if you'd tell me what that name is. Without that I don't know what this I'm trying to find a way around. Cabayi (talk) 13:41, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Length information in Should I Stay or Should I Go
You're a new user, and it looks like you don't yet know how to analyze the history of an article and how to communicate in a productive way with other editors. Here's what happened: For months, the length given in the article Should I Stay or Should I Go had been 3:09. No source was given for this information, but it was consistent with Combat Rock, which cites a book about the band, and it's consistent with this source. In this edit, a user changed the length to 3:10. This appeared to be incorrect, so I reverted it a few days later. You saw my edit, but you probably didn't check the history of the page. You reverted my edit, which in effect meant that you restored the incorrect data inserted by that other user. I reverted your edit and included a link to Combat Rock in my edit summary, hoping you would look at that section and see that it contains the same length data and has a source, but I guess you didn't. Instead, you reverted my edit again. In your second edit summary, you wrote "you better start to explain yourself. Random number changes are vandalism". The first part is a bit rude, especially since you yourself didn't explain anything in your initial revert – your edit summary consisted of nothing but four question marks. The second part is correct, of course, but if you had checked the article history, you would have realized that the "random number changes" were introduced by another user, not by me, and that you had actually restored these random changes. Please be more careful in the future, and please explain your edits properly, without attacking other users. Before you revert an edit, have a look at the history of the article and the users involved. In this case: The user account who inserted the incorrect data is four days old and has made three edits; I've been around for 15 years and have made 6000 edits. Of course, experienced users can make mistakes as well, but in my experience, it's much more likely for very new accounts to be vandals (or incompetent) than for very experienced ones. — Chrisahn (talk) 21:01, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks for the lengthy explanation. Sorry I don't know what to think of the track length. I was reading the page and decided to look back at past edits where I saw that you undid someone without saying anything, and therefore I thought this might be new editors picking on old editors as I've seen bits of. As you are genuine in your approach, I am happy to keep it at that revision. ArmsRaceJosh-1000 (talk) 01:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response! Yeah, I guess I should have explained my initial undo in an edit summary. It's just that I clean up so much garbage that I'm sometimes too lazy to add a comment, especially when I revert edits by anonymous or very new accounts – they usually don't interact in any useful way anyway. But in this case, I was wrong. See User talk:Chrisahn. Thanks and happy editing! — Chrisahn (talk) 12:40, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
