Yeah, you're missing something on this one. By "shorter" he's comparing the requested username with the username he requested one section above this one, rather than comparing the requested username with his current one. Useight (talk) 03:34, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Natureofinformation → InformationZone

I have read them, and understand that they apply to the edits I made. At the time that I listed my book, The Nature of Information, in the Further Reading section of the Wikipedia article on Information, I also added a link in the External Links section of the same article to a website that sells a copy of a paper on the same subject, not realizing that it was contravening Wikipedia policy. The listing for both the link and the book were removed, and I have since had correspondence with Wikipedia editors on the subject (see Talk: Information), and asked that the listing for the book be reconsidered on its own merits, separately from the link, whose removal I completely understand. In the process, I was advised by two Wikipedia editors to change my user name, as it also was counter to Wikipedia rules. All I want is to have my book reconsidered for listing in the article where it belongs, and am hopeful that a change of user name may facilitate that. I hope it does. Thank you.

 Done Balloonman, you have dozens of subpages. When I moved Balloonman to Balloonman (usurped), redirects were created and Balloonman's subpages were moved over to Balloonman (usurped). When I moved Spartacus! to Balloonman, many of the same subpages were to be moved across but couldn't be done automatically due to the redirects. So there are about 5 dozen subpages that need to be moved across and redirects to be deleted. I don't have the time to do that now, and will only be able to get to a couple for the moment.
