Username change request
Hi Sir Bcorr, if you don't mind to change my nick from user:ems2 to user:ems, as I requested here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username#Requests_to_usurp_an_existing_account_with_no_edits
user:robchurch recommended me to ask you, when referred me to wikipedia a few days ago.

- Sorry, but just like Angela, I don't believe accounts should be taken over in this way. Many users may have made an account here because they edit under that name in another language and want to make sure they maintain the same name on all wikis so they can keep that name when we get single login. No edits do not necessary mean the account is not in use. For example, readers may have accounts so they can use their Preferences to set a different skin. Also, the user might have only deleted edits, which won't show up in Contributions but will do elsewhere, and taking their account would mean you would be blamed for those past edits and activity in the Logs. If User:Ems had been blocked, and it was renamed User:Whatever so that you could move to User:Ems, the block log would still show that User:Ems, not User:Whatever, had been blocked. But that's not my main objection. My objection is that someone made that account for a reason, and it wouldn't be right to steal it from them just because they have no undeleted edits on this language version of Wikipedia, especially not so soon before plans to implement single login.
