User talk:Auric (usurped)

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Auric. A request has been made at Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given seven days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request will be filled after seven days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. Auric (talk) 04:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hoax tags
Hi. I'm confused about who is Auric - this note is for the one who made this edit to Onion Rationing in the United Kingdom on 18 Oct, and this is where the link from that edit brought me. If that's not you, forget it.

If it is, may I suggest that, unless you are sure a suspected article is not a hoax, it's a pity to change the "hoax" tag for a "disputed" one, as you did here? While the "hoax" tag is there, the article is listed in CAT:HOAX, which means that bottom-fishers like myself have the opportunity to check it out and, if it looks interesting, do the research which will either clear it or (more usually) confirm that it should be deleted. As far as I know, if it's just marked "disputed" there is no similar CAT:DISPUTED to look at, and it is likely to just linger on. In any case, there must be a great many articles which are disputed but not susceptible to definite debunking like hoaxes. Fortunately I had picked up this one before you de-tagged it, and have now checked it out and brought it to AfD here. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
