Username usurpation request
Hi Yahya, regarding the denied usurpation request for my doppelganger account (A smart kitten doppelganger1), I’m keen to understand if the denial due to lack of edits was due to the lack of edits by the doppelganger account itself, or by my main account. If the former, that’s because the only purpose of the account is to act as a doppelganger. If the latter, are you able to provide a rough guide to the number of edits that would be considered satisfactory? All the best, A smart kitten (talk) 21:13, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- I misunderstood. I have retrieved your request from the archive. Sorry about that. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 22:55, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- No problem! Thanks for your assistance :)
