possible implications of using your real name? You're allowed to do it, but it might have surprising and undesirable real-life effects. If you read that page and still want to use your real name, or if "Maxwell Verbeek" isn't your real name, I'm sure the request can go ahead.

unified login/global account, your two accouts are regarded as
unattached. This particular issue can be addressed by using
Special:MergeAccount to unify your accounts. As for your old name's re-creation here, the only thing you can do is leave the re-created account alone and just edit with James ADL. One account's edits cannot be transferred to another.

Reason: I'd like to go back to my old username. Having my real name worked wonders for a while, but, now it's not. I'm also tired of random people emailing me and asking me to do things for them on Wikipedia via my website because they see my username, etc. I understand that this will be sort of like a redirect, so press links and so forth that link to my SarahStierch username page will redirect to the Missvain user page. I appreciate your consideration to 'revert' my longtime changed username. You'd be doing me a favor professionally and personally (and well, as a Wikipedian)! Thank YOU!

Above request was
made by Herobrinetrollin, but a coding error prevented it from displaying properly.
Herobrinetrollin, have you considered the
possible implications of using your real name? You're allowed to do it, but it might have surprising and undesirable real-life effects. If you read that page and still want to use your real name, or if "Maxwell Verbeek" isn't your real name, I'm sure the request can go ahead.

@
James ADL: The bot is referring to your account on the Chinese Wikipedia; as you have not created a
unified login/global account, your two accouts are regarded as
unattached. This particular issue can be addressed by using
Special:MergeAccount to unify your accounts. As for your old name's re-creation here, the only thing you can do is leave the re-created account alone and just edit with James ADL. One account's edits cannot be transferred to another.

shared use which can be grounds for denial of this request. However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", "LoveTrammelArt", etc. You should file a new request with a more acceptable name.
