I'm not exactly sure how asking questions works around here, so I figured this was as good a place as any. Since I have moved my user page and created a new account, I was trying to find out how to delete the old one for the sake of efficiency. However, I can't find information on how do do this and was unable to figure it out on my own. Can anyone help me out?

Want to create a graticule page? For example, I made one to cover Tokyo, which I found on Google maps at 35.68, 139.75
So, I just copied the code from another graticule page and used the truncated coordinates 35, and 139, which pretty much covered what I want to cover. Thunderrabbit 09:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Co-ordinate calculator doesn't work
I couldn't get this to work. I went to http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/, entered the date, hit update, and nothing happened. Just a big blank space where I'm assuming a map should be. Clicking help on that page doesn't work, either. Tried it with firefox and IE. 206.108.31.36 17:54, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Delete Account?
I'm not exactly sure how asking questions works around here, so I figured this was as good a place as any. Since I have moved my user page and created a new account, I was trying to find out how to delete the old one for the sake of efficiency.

- That was a good place to put a question, and probably a question that could go in an FAQ somewhere. You need administrator help with it. While logged in, change the content of the unwanted user page to something that makes it clear you don't want it ("please delete - moved everything to HatGuy, delete the old user account too" would work fine), and add the delete tag, just the word delete inside double curly braces {{ }}. When you save the page it will display a big pink banner declaring its readiness for deletion, and an administrator will eventually clean it up. If for some reason you need this process expedited, you can leave a talk page note for Joanna, and it will probably happen faster. -Robyn 04:19, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
