Username miss-spelling
Copied this talk message from the old jmchnh talk page before replacing that entire page with the #REDIRECT directive as mentioned below.
I saw your edit here, and figured you could use some help. You can resolve this "username issue" a few different ways. One way is to simply change your user page to be #REDIRECT [[User:Jmcgnh]] and change your talk page to be #REDIRECT [[User_talk:Jmcgnh]], then afterwards start using your new account and no longer use this one. The other way is to request a username change. Since you seem to have already created the new account, I think the first option might be easier. Otherwise, you can request to have an usurpation done. Either way works fine. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:52, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, ~Oshwah~. I went with the #REDIRECT method as you advised. From the description of usurpation, my situation doesn't appear to qualify, since both accounts are quite new and have no significant contributions so far. I realize that you may never come back to see this here, but that's okay. Jmcgnh (talk) 07:46, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- You're very welcome! Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any more questions or if you need anything. I'll be happy to lend you a hand! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sure. But it gives me a somewhat uneasy feeling, almost as if I'm living in the Panopticon, to have you respond so promptly. --Jmcgnh (talk) 08:03, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Customized signature and lower-casing username
I probably should not be fighting long-standing conventions at this point, but I strongly prefer to have my username appear as lowercase wherever I can, so I added the "lowercase title" template to my user and talk pages and set a preference for a customized signature, inspired by User:Oshwah. --jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 07:31, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
