I have now managed to upload the Zillions file under my own name.
Could this page be deleted? It seems only Freederick can do this.

Yeah i know you can submit for me, hehe, if you can submit for Freederick you can submit for everyone i would be guessing (maybe that is the way it just is, not sure, you wouldn't think).

I have tried to resubmit using my own name, but cannot select it from the drop-down menu {even though I have registered as a user}. I did discover, however, that I could submit as anyone else {even you Christine} using my own password. This is a flaw which should be rectified by the administrators.

This has happened before, and it will happen again. The reason it happens is, when people go to submit something, the DEFAULT SETTING is 'Freederick'.
The confusing part is, even though, when people come to this site and sign in as themselves, when they go to create a page etc, the default setting still comes into play.

The last time it happened was on the 2012-09-22, when 'Dynasty Chess' was created, by Freederick (hehe), and after getting a 'good' and 'none' rating from 2 comments, Mr.Freederick said ..
"This is very odd. I did NOT author Dynasty Chess---I'm afraid that either mistakes were made, or my account has been compromised."
So your account was not compromised, it just was not submitted properely by the creator.  I also notice, this is still credited to Mr.Freederick, who also said in his post "BTW, I find this variant rather unremarkable."
Maybe someone should fix it up?

I was the one who submitted this Zillions rule-file, not Freederick. I cannot understand how it came to be attributed to him, as I used my own password. I apologise to Freederick for inadvertently submitting this rules file in his name. Apparently this has happened to him before.

It is the first time I have personally submitted anything other than a comment. {My other Zillions file, Ito Shogi, was submitted on my behalf by Jonathon Rutherford, its inventor}.

Could the administrators please amend this matter and correctly attribute this rules file to me? I also have some diagrams which I could add, but do not want to add anything till the entry is correctly attributed to me.

I welcome any comments.
