Wondering how I can explain the origination of using the name Sting, since the context here is a dispute with Gordon Sumner and the readers (especially those who like his music) may emotionally tend to infer that my use of the name is somehow associated with Gordon's use of the name. We both have completely different reasons and origins for using the word, as well as others who have used the name (Sting of the WCF [1], Sting WNBA basketball team, Nathan Sting [2] etc). The use of the name 'Sting' by Mr Urvan was an abbreviated form of the name 'Stingray' originally used by Mr Urvan while participating in Bulletin Board Systems circa 1985[3]. The online moniker 'Stingray' was borrowed from the TV show of the same name, also circa 1985.

Gordon Sumner has a self-citing paragraph about the origin of his name so I wanted to know if I could do the same here. Thank you. MichaelUrvan (talk) 10:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We'd still need some details describing how you gave him the site, and a news or other reference for the facts. a little insignificant 14:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To my knowledge there are no published accounts of the transfer.. Sting is a gentleman, and well .. I try also. MichaelUrvan (talk) 19:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 February 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Semi-boldly moved to Sting.com domain name dispute, based on the proposal by user:Natg 19; I thing that adding ".com" makes clearer what is this about, cf. Sex.com. No such user (talk) 09:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Michael UrvanGordon Sumner p/k/a Sting v Michael Urvan – This article has never really been a biograpy of Michael Urvan, but a description of the sting.com domain name dispute. Per WP:BLP1E, it ought to be named after the event rather than the person. It would also be good if sting.com was a redirect to this page 31.111.26.44 (talk) 21:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
