Some irony
Thought I'd share something that made me laugh: the lead image for the JPEG article is a PNG. :P  bahamut0013  words deeds 16:01, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Tennessee State Fairgrounds
I just noticed that there are no photos of the Tennessee State Fairgrounds on Commons. Considering that they're supposed to tear it down soon, someone in Nashville should go snag some shots. Unfortunately, I'm in California now, so I can't oblige :( Kaldari (talk) 23:35, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoa, didn't realize you'd moved. I'll see if I can poke around sometime soon, though I'm nowhere near the photographer that you are. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 00:02, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Johnsy88
Regarding: (User rename log); 23:51. . EVula (talk | contribs) renamed User:Johnsy88 to "Johnsy1983" (406 edits. Reason: WP:CHU) I read WP:CHU and I see no reason there to change the guy's name. His Talk page discusses it but in the context of someone potentially violating WP:DIGWUREN. I know the guy wants to keep the name to be consistent with his Internet presence and to express his love for #88 Michael Irvin. Why did you change the name? What is the procedure the guy can use to get his original name restored as it was? He's a relative newbie and I'll bet he will not welcome this sudden name change. We have to treat newbie's well and I'm trying to do that by speaking up as I am. Nothing personal. Thank you. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 00:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I just noticed he made the request and you too thought is was "tenuous". Listen, that editor that made the suggestion (TFD) may have been doing so to push a POV, like when I added a link to a VDARE piece on a Talk page and the Nazi implication was made, including by the same editor, likely as a means to avoid addressing substantive issues and to cast me in a negative light. I have pointed this out to the newbie. It is possible he may have changed his mind and may wish to revert to his original name. Please consider asking him, if you think that's appropriate. He shouldn't have to change his name because he was manipulated into doing so. Thanks. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 01:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have a dog in this race; he asked for a rename, I performed it. I think the rationale is bullshit, sure, but at the end of the day it was a valid request, and I honestly have zero interest in wading into the middle of anything. I'd need to dig into the history of the whole situation and, to be blunt, I've got better things to do with my time; Wikipedia is a hobby at best, and I've got more pressing matters in real life that take priority. If Johnsy88/Johnsy1983 feels like having his old name restored, I'd be more than happy to do so, but procedurally, I can't just re-rename him without his consent, even if you feel like he was manipulated into requesting the change. If you feel like TFD is bullying people, try some flavor of dispute resolution to deal with him, but I'm not going to step into anything. I was just clearing out CHU/S, nothing more. :) EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 05:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thanks. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:26, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry i did make the original request at the advice of user TFD. However after getting some very enlightening advice from user LegitimateAndEvenCompelling i was informed of the background and potential agenda pushing of TFD. Would it be possible to revert my user name back to its orginal state of Johnsy88? Thanks Johnsy1983 (talk) 12:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Question
If I want to rename my username, but the name that I want has already been registered but that account has no edits, can I still change it to that?

Answer here. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If the username you want doesn't have any edits, you can usurp it by following the instructions at Changing username/Usurpations. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:15, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like a guy on Italian Wikipedia made over 1000 edits with that name, his last edit was 2008, this makes it impossible for me to take it right? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:22, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Couldn't hurt to file the request. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:29, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Deleting old account
Could you please delete an account that I don't use anymore? Is it possible? I only want to be known as my current account. The account is RussellAN. I'll prove that I own it is you need me too. Thanks. Also I have a current reuest to be renamed as Socks 01.  WWE  Socks  01:32, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Accounts can't be deleted, but all you have to do is just not use it anymore. Wouldn't be a bad idea to log into that account and redirect your userpage to your new account, however; that would eliminate any claims that you're using a different account to avoid scrutiny.
