February 2015 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Rolandgiesler", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it reminds me of Roland Freisler.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Hi, Roland Giesler. Although this might be your real name, would you please consider changing your username. Your username seems like a combination of Roland Freisler and Paul Giesler, two prominent Nazis. Thanks for understanding. Bossanoven (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't think you're being serious, are you? Talk about nitpicking! Are you also confused about "son" (a male offspring of a man or woman) because it makes you think of the "sun" up in the sky? Giesler is a common surname in Germany and even in the US. My name is Giesler, which differs substantially for "Freisler". In 3 ways actually.
Freisler has 8 characters, Giesler 7
Freisler starts with "F", Giesler with "G"
Freisler contains an "ei", Giesler an "ie"
So no, I won't change my name, don't be ridiculous. Lifeboy (talk) 08:31, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
