Account Creation Request
I verify that I have requested the creation of the username User:Doug, my former username, which currently redirects here. The name is too similar for me to create with basic user rights.--DeirdreAnne(talk • contribs) 02:03, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

The intent is the name will not be used but will remain under my control, thus preventing creation by others.--DeirdreAnne(talk • contribs) 02:05, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Forgot to state in my request but I'm requesting the account because it trips the similar account prohibition, requires account creator to complete.--DeirdreAnne(talk • contribs) 02:11, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I have created the account. But you can override the antispoof conflict on wikis where you have sysop rights. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 03:08, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Yes, I knew that but it would technically be using elevated privileges for my own benefit, I believe that even for simple actions that should normally involve independent review or at least another admin on the same wiki saying "OK", may make sense if one is deleting a bunch of sandboxes but for this I think it's better for someone independent to address it. Thanks again. --DeirdreAnne(talk • contribs) 23:54, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
