To tinker with your sig, go to Nickname in Preferences (User Profile). Then...well, maybe this is the easiest way. I have <nowiki><font color="green">~Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2</font></nowiki>, which gives [[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">~Gruen</font>]][[User talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]].
 
  
So, for example, if you wanted a sig like this, you might have <nowiki>Kenny]][[User talk:Kenny|talk</nowiki>, which would read [[User:Kenny|Kenny]][[User talk:Omigodtheykilledkenny|talk]].

No, unfortunately. You'll have to re-register with "Kenny" or just change your signature to reflect your updated username. There's no way for us to physically change your name. Sorry, dude.

For sure, my friend, you can go crazy with them. Most people I think are already taking them (without asking, mind you), but you don't need to really ask - that's what the Wiki is for, after all :)

Good idea. Thank you for doing that. If the [[:Category:Diplomats|Diplomats' category]] had been very clogged up, it would have been a good idea to remove all UN diplomats from it, and have them simply in your new category. But as it is the Diplomats' category fits on a single page, so I think it can stay as is. I would actually have prefered a more "formal" title such as "Diplomats at the United Nations", but a category can't be moved, and it's not worth re-editing all those articles for such a small detail. (By the way, linking to a category is done like this: <nowiki>[[:Category:Diplomats]]</nowiki>.) [[User:Aridd|Aridd]] 20:58, 26 September 2007 (GMT)

I changed the manual redirect on Paradise City, Omigodtheykilledkenny to an automatic one. If you view the source, you'll see how to do this for future reference.Gruen2alk 04:42, 13 November 2005 (GMT)

'Tri-Alliance'?

Ola, I just see your comment on my user page; it's "tri-alliance", not "tri-alliances", but if you think it's confusing, we may delete the "tri-alliance" page, not a big deal, best, LAE

POV check

Please see the comments on Talk:Omigodtheykilledkenny. And yes, I know *rolls eyes*. Gruen2alk 00:23, 21 February 2006 (GMT)
