Could you be more precise? Why would you get hostile emails if your contributions only include changing the url? =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My email address was known to certain people who wanted to attack anything and anybody associated with Labour politics locally.

Blckdmnd99 → -DjD-

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use.

Further Note: The name is not just "taken" because you moved your userpage to User:DjD, this account was created in the past and has contributions from back in September. As such, it is my personal opinion (however not based on policy) that you should probably move your userpage and usertalk back to their old locations. This user may decide to return to Wikipedia and it would be an unpleasant shock if they found another user had taken over their user space. --NickContact/Contribs 03:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Thanks for the clarification. The username '-DjD-' appears to be available if i'm reading this right. Can I change to this instead? Thanks again. Blckdmnd99 04:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Template edited accordingly. The new name is a little similar but not taken, and because the account hasn't been used since September 06, there's really no risk of impersonation. --NickContact/Contribs 04:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks. I was already planning on starting a new username altogether. I just wanted to move this username further out of reach. I don't believe they have figured out the first move, but in the event they do, I'd like this an extra step away (better safe than sorry, esp. since he/she can still see what I've been up to here until recently).

    • The Right to vanish policy may help. Secretlondon 10:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks. After reading the policy, since I have fewer than 200,000 edits, I would request my name be changed per the right to vanish policy. If possible, could my user pages and subpages also be deleted? If not, that's fine too. I think this name change coupled with starting an entirely new username should be sufficient. Thanks.
