Talk:Sting.com domain name dispute

message: So how did Sting end up getting sting.com then?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.197.219.185 (talk) 20:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sting.com is now Sting's website.. 

message: 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 , Sting WNBA basketball team, Nathan Sting  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. 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.

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)
replies: text: 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)
