Topic: Who Stole My Name For Wikipedia?

I tried to create an account on Wikipedia using my BBFC username of "Bubba Fett"... but they said someone is already using it!

I named my cat "Bubba Fett" in 1995, and this is the only place I have used that name. I'll find a way to track you down on Wikipedia, eventually two topics we share an interest in will cross paths, then you can explain yourself directly to me, punk.

Bubba Fett can track down anyone in the galaxy. You can't hide forever, thief.

Sorry to rant, but that was a real bummer to discover.

it was me ;)

Canucks ain't got the cajones to rip ME off, kid.

I suspect a serial confessor...

Well, What if you stole someone else's name huh?

Bubba Fett is a common mispronunciation, I doubt you're the first to "discover" it, and even then that doesn't make it solely your name that no one else can use. I mean, sure I'd be a bit miffed if I found someone using the name Miba somewhere, but I wouldn't be really mad about it, because it's not MY name. Do you get mad when you find people in RL who's names are the same as your RL name?

yes... :D nah not really there's lots of ppl in RL with my name

Ok, ok allow me to answer your question :

HOW SHOULD I OR ALMOST ANYONE ELSE HERE KNOW?????????
(there ya go, that should solve your problem :))

I love how we all refer to RL as some totally foreign place. :P

It was me plain and simple. I took Bub my favorite zombie and morphed him with boba fett. And the results were BUBBA FETT :)

well mystery solved case closed... good bye nothing to see here.

Who cares; I didn't do it!

duh! Jesse Fett  said he did it therefore you couldn'e have.

.....Or could he??????????

(dun dun dun!)

Thanks for the clarification, Jesse. It's all good.

In all honesty, I was hoping it was something like this. A BFFC member... and not just some random Star Wars fan visiting the site looking to steal what is, arguably, the COOLEST user name ever.

And, for the record, I DO own all the rights to the name "Bubba Fett". I registered it with the United States Copyright Office in 1995 after giving the name to my cat, for just this sort of contingency, 12 years later. A huge legal battle ensued with George Lucas, but the U.S. Supreme Court decided in my favor. Unfortunately, ol' Georgie-boy has never forgiven me, and still refuses to take my calls. But, Jesse the Kid is OK in my book, and has given the name his own personal touch.

Plus, now I've got an insider in Wikipedia... who owes me one. If you've ever tried to create or edit an article there, you know how valuable that is.

Thanks everyone. See ya in the threads.

lol for real? cool! did u meet George?

You obviously forget mine.
