User talk:RS Field Hockey

August 2010
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, EuroHockeyLeague, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a group rather than an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 11:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi There, My name is Richard Stainthorpe and I am the editor of the Euro Hockey League (EHL) website. The EHL is a hockey tournament, and I am simply trying to upload the information from last season's tournament. I just used EuroHockeyLeague as I am certainly an "official source", ensuring that the information is 100% correct. If you still believe I need to change my user name to my personal one, I would be more than happy to so. Best wishes! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 11:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).


 * Hi, thanks for replying. The policy is that you have to contribute to Wikipedia for yourself rather than representing anything else. There are benefits to editing anonymously, but you could set up a new account explaining your expertise (see WP:EXPERT) and association with the EHL (see WP:COI). You can either just set up a new account or request that your edit history so far is migrated to a new personal account, the shortcut WP:CHUS makes this easy. To check if a name you would like is available, you can try Special:Listusers. Cheers Fæ (talk) 11:32, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just pitching in, I would strongly advise you do so. A very warm welcome to Wikipedia, in any case, and I do hope you continue contributing here in your area of expertise- Wikipedia certainly needs more experts. Fae has given you some very good advice. If you have any questions about editing or renaming at all, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or email me, and I will do my best to help. Here's a link to our basic rules, should you need it. Regards, sonia  ♫  11:36, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Again, Thanks for the advice. Happy to represent myself, but obviously I don't want to lose the work I have done thus far! I will try to set up a new account. I will contact you if I need help! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 11:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).
 * No- there is no need to set up a new account. This one can be renamed to a more suitable name. Would you like that done? sonia  ♫  11:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

That would be great! maybe something involving my surname... happy to take your suggestions! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 11:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).
 * Hockey Editor, Stainthorpe, HockeyEd are all possible, try using the Special:Listusers search page for options. Fæ (talk) 12:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I've searched "RS Field Hockey", and I cannot find it, so I would like to go for this, please! Many thanks for your help - it is greatly appreciated! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).
 * Is this what you want? A bureaucrat, who has the ability to rename users, will come around and rename you if they see no issues with the request. When that happens, you will no longer be able to log in under this name, but will be able to log in under the new username with the same password. Is that all right? sonia  ♫  12:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)d

Hi Sonia - fine with me. Will the new login details be sent to my email address? Thanks again! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 12:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).
 * No, they will not- but I could probably email you when it is completed if you would like that. It will be the same password, with your new username. Do let me know if you have any other questions about anything Wikipedia-related. sonia  ♫  12:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, that would be great. You should have my email address, but if not I can provide it for you. Thank you very much for helping me. Best wishes! (EuroHockeyLeague (talk) 13:26, 10 August 2010 (UTC)).

INcorrect AFC submission location
I already corrected this once, but youve gone and blanked the submission which is in the correct place, and recreated the submission I had deleted as it was a copy of the correct one.

I have passed it back over again now. Your correct submission is at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Euro Hockey League 2009-2010 Please edit and use this one, not the one located at Articles for creation/Euro Hockey League 2009-2010. Thanks - Happysailor  (Talk) 21:47, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Apologies - I was under the impression that a "talk page" was just a place to discuss the competition. I am trying to provide an official record of what happened in last season's event. If you could give me some pointers as to what I need to do to get this page live I would really appreciate it. (RS Field Hockey (talk) 09:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)).
