Geronimo20 → Epipelagic

Gosh... how thoroughly depressing. So I sort of have to give up or start over again! When you say "it is likely your older edits will NOT be reattributed", does that mean they could be attributed, and how could I know? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 06:44, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I'm not certain. I did user:Treelo --> user:Baa, and the almost 17K edits did not transfer, so I cannot make any guarantees. A developer would know better, although they frown on any rename with > 10K edits. -- Avi ( talk) 18:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
So is it possible to negotiate this issue with a developer? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 18:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I do not know if negotiate is the correct term; it's not something that they have magic control over, I believe. -- Avi ( talk) 19:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Seems vague. So is this the case: editors who have contributed a lot can effect a name change only by abandoning their edit record and starting again from scratch using a sock puppet? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 00:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: clerk I'm rather unfamiliar with what it takes but ask The Thing That Should Not Be as he had over 100K edits at the time of his rename and most if not all have been reättributed, eventually. delirious & lost~hugs~ 04:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
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. The Thing Editor Review 07:59, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Okay, sounds like reallocation fails when there are server errors. So I'll take the gamble Avi. Will you please make the name change. Thanks :) -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 08:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply

 Done I've gone ahead and completed the rename. I appreciate what you're saying, TRM, but I figure that renames are cheap and if the user feels that the username somehow compromises their privacy (even if it's a matter of pseudonymous privacy), we may as well fill the request. — Anonymous Dissident Talk 02:58, 27 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Geronimo20 → Epipelagic

Gosh... how thoroughly depressing. So I sort of have to give up or start over again! When you say "it is likely your older edits will NOT be reattributed", does that mean they could be attributed, and how could I know? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 06:44, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I'm not certain. I did user:Treelo --> user:Baa, and the almost 17K edits did not transfer, so I cannot make any guarantees. A developer would know better, although they frown on any rename with > 10K edits. -- Avi ( talk) 18:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
So is it possible to negotiate this issue with a developer? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 18:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I do not know if negotiate is the correct term; it's not something that they have magic control over, I believe. -- Avi ( talk) 19:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Seems vague. So is this the case: editors who have contributed a lot can effect a name change only by abandoning their edit record and starting again from scratch using a sock puppet? -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 00:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: clerk I'm rather unfamiliar with what it takes but ask The Thing That Should Not Be as he had over 100K edits at the time of his rename and most if not all have been reättributed, eventually. delirious & lost~hugs~ 04:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
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. The Thing Editor Review 07:59, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Okay, sounds like reallocation fails when there are server errors. So I'll take the gamble Avi. Will you please make the name change. Thanks :) -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 08:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC) reply
