Reason: The new name reflects better my background, as I am a string theorist rather than an expert in supergravity.

Reason: Due to the fact that I thought using David Adekiyesi's fullname real name was only right since I was opening this account on his behalf. But from my reading on the Wikipedia Article which points out that this will bring nothing but harassment and could violate some terms and condition.

Reason: my original user name also belongs to an unrelated book company, which resulted in a block due to promotion etc.

Reason: I've learned my lesson not to jump in and go straight to writing articles without them being reviewed and drafted. what I will do is Ill read all of the tutorial guides of wikipedia and make all my edits in drafts and not start articles until I know that I'm 100% sure im ready to do so. I agree not to write articles (nor drafts) about myself and my YouTube channel if unblocked?

Okay. I'm still thinking about it though. :) WikiPancake✉📖 15:19, 25 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Reason: I simply don't like my username; It's too long, too childish, and not compatible with certain signature templates.
