Reason: in the previous name I used my real one which was simply a stupid move and so I am now asking kindly the crew of Wikipedia to change it. Warmest regards

Reason: I am hoping to create wikipedia pages for two companies, WIS Communications and UNIFI communications. I was informed that I couldn't use WIS media as a username because a company cannot have an account. Now I am specifying myself and the company I work for. Thank you

Reason: At the time of creating my account, I did not consider the implications of using my real name on Wikipedia. Upon learning about the possible implications of this, I have decided to change my name. The requested username change will reflect a name that should not be able to be linked back to myself.

Reason: I have used "oldsilenus" as a user name for at least five years. I asked a completely unrelated question in WP:TH and someone commented that this user name was "confusing." This is despite many friendly conversations with your Administrators. I, unthinkingly changed it. I would like to put it back to what it was, as no one else ever complained. I apologize for the extra work that this causes you. I guess the lesson here is to think before you jump or ask some else who you trust first. Sorry.

@
Nicodemus4: I'm assuming
this is the discussion that prompted you to change your username. I think
Softlavender was actually referring to the displayed name in your
signature not matching your actual username, which is why they found it confusing; your username itself was not the issue at all.
Wikipedia:Signatures § Dealing with problematic signatures writes: Signatures that link to, but do not display, the user's username (for example by signing with a nickname, as in [[User:Example|User:Nickname]] or [[User:Example|Nickname]]) can be confusing for editors (particularly newcomers). It appears that you were just confused by their comment and so requested a name change. Normally we discourage users from changing their usernames more than once, but I think here we can make an exception. Ping
