 * I had 95k edits when I renamed to be exact... I'm not sure how yours would go with 25k edits... my first rename was when I had something under 20k, iirc, and it worked perfectly. However when I renamed with 95k edits, the server lag shot through the roof for about 10-15 minutes, and after everything was settled, 20,000 of my edits didn't reattribute. It took about 1 or 2 months to convince a developer to manually reallocate the rest of them (I forget exactly who it was), so if you decide to rename, and something happens, you might have to do a bit of work to get the rest of the edits reallocated. But, it certainly is possible. Th e T hi ng  Ed it or Rev iew 07:59, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Kpsullivan1967 → Cuse Fan

 * Reason: Didn't Realize name would be used to record edits. Would like to be more anonymous. sunpacer 08:35, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 08:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed that the user is not signing with either their current or requested user name but the user is the one who submitted this. Could you please confirm which user name you would like, Cuse Fan or Sunpacer ? If you want User:Sunpacer then this request will need to move to usurpations as the name exists, but it has no contributions . There is also a note on the user's talk page.  delirious  &amp;  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 12:56, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Follow-ups. 1) This user clarified their desired user name by answering on my talk page, wanting Cuse Fan and 2) There is a fair chance that the user has abandoned WP based on the statement on their talk page a few hours later  after rather bitey responses on the talk page of the article the user had interest in working on    delirious  &amp;  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 01:22, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Please review WP:COI; in general, writing articles about yourself is strongly discouraged. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 22:36, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Not really had a choice, as the old article was massively outdated. I run my own record label, and work a lot of my online content. I needed to update the Wikipedia profile, as BBC Music use portions of artists' Wikipedia entries for their BBC profiles. Thanks for your help guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitseleh1983 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
