translation
Jump in on that translation: I'm working right now on the last section of the article, and that's all I'm going to do right now; I'm about to break for dinner. If we are editing different parts, the system should handle it with no problem. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:21, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC) Believe me, the system handles it well. If our edits don't overlap in terms of where on the page we make changes, it all works correctly and automatically. If they do then it's a little trickier: the second to save gets a page showing the differences and getting a chance to resolve them; the details are hard to describe, but sooner or later you're bound ot have this happen. It works moderately well, although my feeling is that this particular feature could be better implemented. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:18, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Handel. 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 an opportunity 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 use 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 may be filled shortly, 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. HWV258 . 04:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
