ArchivesEditing my own User Submitted names and Change poster status
I am new here, and I am not sure if I should have labeled myself as anonymous on the two names that I have contributed. On one, I am still able to edit it, but am unable to do so for the other. Am I able to change the status of the name to show my username instead of anonymous? Also, am I unable to edit the one name because someone else is possibly editing it? I have seen a few edits by another contributor and I received the notice that I cannot edit the name and now the option to edit is unavailable. Have I done something wrong, or is this just a part of the process?
The names are Ursulus and Ursulo.

Once an editor has made changes to a submitted name, the original submitter can no longer make changes (unless they are also an editor). So no, you haven't done anything wrong, that's a normal function of the site.
I don't believe you can un-anonymize yourself but I'm not 100% sure on that.
If you would like to make changes now, go to this page: https://www.behindthename.com/submit/submit and go to the bottom box ("Correct an Existing Name") and submit your changes through there. You will not see the changes right away, you will have to wait for an editor to see them and add them on. I believe most editors are open to being PMed with changes too (I am).
