Reason: I have used my new username in Twitter and many other places for years, so now it's time to update Wikipedia username "unify" my accounts.

Reason: I read a lot of articles and tutorial before finally starting to write in Wikipedia and asked for the permission to do it for chill out artists from ibiza. I din’t know how to start and when I started I was not aware of your user name policy, I thought I didn’t have the right to talk about labels and artists without their permission and under their own name. Can I start again on the same topic rewriting my articles with a new user, and using only the newspapers references without including any companies and personal websites? As you have seen I did not published anything I was only trying to understand Wikipedia rules and formats and collect informations from websites and everywhere.
Reason: I would like to rename my username to include my family name as this will allow people to more easily access my profile and know what contributions I have made to Wikipedia. Thanks.

Reason: I'm moving to a unified username across the web. (I created my Wikipedia account many years ago before I had a unified presence on the Internet.) Also, I would like to remove my real name from my username and replace it with an alias.

Reason: I prefer not to use my real name for Wiki edits and entries. While in the past I was happy with this arrangement, at this stage in my career it is important to me to preserve anonymity on Wiki. My current username has prevented me from making any real contributions to Wikipedia over the past few years, and I would like to become more active going forward, anonymously. Ideally all previous entries made with my current (real) username would now be identified by my new username

Reason: This is simply the name I want. If it is too similar to other names I want to be not "IllusIon" but "IIIusIon". I won't like any other options with numbers and so on, please don't rename me if these two are not possible.
Can I use IIIusIon(with four i) or illusIon?

It would still likely be considered "too similar", although if another global renamer would like to drop in their two cents on this, that'll be fine since there is (currently) no official policy about being renamed to similar usernames. --I am

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me; if you hadn't commented I would have performed the rename.
