Regarding a name usurpation email error
Hello,
On the update you posted regarding the on-hold status of my name change, it says you've emailed me, but I haven't received an email. The lettering is josheauxposte (I'm aware it's dumb, partly the reason I'd like to change my current username).
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josheaux (talk • contribs) 01:56, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Josheaux.
- To clarify, the email and notification was intended for the target user (the user whose name you are trying to usurp, that is). The general protocol is that we try to contact the target user to give them a chance to respond to the request. If they don't respond in time, or if they don't mind being usurped, then we can go ahead with the request. The notification isn't intended for you; apologies for any confusion!

- Several areas of improvement collated from community member votes have been identified in the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines. The areas of improvement have been sent back for review and you are invited to provide input on these areas.
- Administrators using the mobile web interface can now access Special:Block directly from user pages. (T307341)
- The IP Info feature has been deployed to all wikis as a Beta Feature. Any autoconfirmed user may enable the feature using the "IP info" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
- Remedy 2 of the Rachel Marsden case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to delete or reduce to a stub, together with their talk pages, articles related to Rachel Marsden when they violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
- An arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been closed.

This week's article for improvement (week 23, 2022)
Squash is a racket and ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. The players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of the game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.
