Category composer name mistake

Post by JVSignorile »

I am a composer and I created a Composer Category for myself, but I mistyped my category name as "Signorile, James/Vincent", when it should have a space between my first and middle name 'Signorile, James Vincent". I filled out the user page "James V. Signorile" with my bio and filled out an "Add Work" form for my first upload "Piano Concerto No.1, Op. 53", although I didn't upload the actual file yet.

Noticing the category name error today, I created a new composer category of "Signorile, James Vincent", and from the menu selected that I was that person, to associate me with it. Then I tried to go to my incorrect composer "Signorile, James/Vincent" and from the menu picked to be disassociated, but I've got and error that I didn't have the rights to do that.

Now I have two composer categories for myself, and I can't disassociate myself from the incorrect one. Do I just start over with the correct category and re-enter my Piano Concerto No. 1 info and upload the score, etc. How do I disassociate my user name from the incorrect category name, so everything I've done links to the correct category name?

Thanks,
James V. Signorile

The first step is to request deletion of the page with the wrong name. Edit it and insert {{Delete|your good reason}} at its top.

Then edit your user page and update the line that corresponds to *{{cat|Coulon, Jean-Pierre}} for me.

Thank you! I created a new category, with my correct name, and put the {{Delete|reason}} on the old category page...but it's still there. I associated my correct category with myself, which was successful, and I created a work page and uploaded several scores which are waiting to be approved.

Hopefully the category I marked with Delete will be gone soon. Is there anything else I need to do except wait for approval of my scores, and wait for my incorrect category to disappear?

Good news and so-so news...

My incorrect composer name category (Signorile, James/Vincent) is gone from the category list, and *usually* my correct category (Signorile, James Vincent) comes up, BUT often when I first go to the category list, it has (Stately, James Vincent) - which is NOT my last name - but if I reload or refresh the category list page, THEN it's listed correctly as (Signorile, James Vincent).

When it lists (Stately, James Vincent) as my name, if I click on it, it does go to (Signorile, James Vincent), so I have no idea where the name STATELY came from.I have cleared my browser cache and restarted, but it usually says STATELY rather than SIGNORILE, until I reload the page.
