I appreciate your response
User:K6ka. The reason I'm picking "Certified Gangsta" as my new name is strictly for ease of identification purpose only, as I am best known as
User:Certified.Gangsta for many many years (until I requested a name change here several years ago) and still mostly frequently referred to as CG, Certified Gangsta, or simply Gangsta by most fellow Wikipedians. It does not suggest a gangster past but simply that I grew up during the height of
hip hop culture.--

@
Fcpeuro: Your
desired new username is still considered to be promotional. Note that you may not have a company or organization's name as your username, but you may include such a name if your username makes it clear that the account belongs to an individual and not a group. For example, "Example Industries" is not acceptable, but "John at Example Industries" is, since it makes it clear that the account belongs to an individual working for the company and not a company as a whole. Note that your username must not also be of a position within the company, so "Secretary at Example Industries" is not acceptable either. Lastly, note that accounts may not be used by more than one person; an account that is created must only be used by the person who created that account. —
