Launchpad itself

Account merge with a non-active member request

Asked by Paweł Drewniak

Hello,
I would like to have a member name "woody" - the problem is, that this account already exists but seems to be dead - https://edge.launchpad.net/~woody.
I use my current nick (woodypl) only if woody is reserved by someone else.
Could you please check woody's activity and, if possible, free this account for me?

Regards,
Paweł Drewniak

Sorry for the delay Paweł, this has been done.

https://launchpad.net/~woody is now you, and the previous "~woody" is now "~woody.old"

Brad, my understanding is that we merge when the old/new are clearly the same person; rename the old/unused otherwise. I'm sure kiko will correct me if wrong. :-)

Cheers!
