Username Usurpation
I understand this, however, due to this user's high inactivity, and as far as I see, the very unlikely event that this person is to return, I do not see why the usurpation request is being denied. Axmann and AxMann are two different usernames, in my opinion. Doesn't the GFDL state that a person's edits can be altered "mercilessly"? It's not like he has a right to keep those edits there, considering that Wikipedia is not bound by Amendment 1 to the Constitution of the United States of America (as I have learned the hard way).

I think I understand now. Thanks.

Just 2 friendly reminders though: It's GFDL, not GDFL. And also, I'm requesting Axmann. The user AxMann is the one who is currently dormant.

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
