Reason: Spaces generally confuse me, and I fear that I may forget that is there and be locked out of my account. Therefore, I would like my name changed to NeolyticalHM. It gets the same point across that my original did with less letters and no space. Thanks for your time; and I understand if it is denied, as the reason may not be as convincing as it sounds to I. Again, thank you very much. (For the record: This is an alternate account of
Neolytical. Take that how you will.)

K6ka: There's no policy, but when we try to register such usernames, it says - The username "82347459329" is not allowed to prevent confusing or spoofed usernames: Does not contain any letters. Also this seems to be request in which they just want to remove real name, so we can ask them to choose another one, if they don't respond we can forward with this one. ‐‐

I am Ashutosh Chandoriya a wikipedia volunteer and public contributer. Thanks for contacting me. I want to create and edit wikipedia pages for public like you. But when I joined the wikipedia public contributer platform I did not know that the names of all public contributors on wikipedia can be easily searched. And at the joining time I wrote my full name on the user name which can not be edited anymore. Now whenever I search my name on the Internet, it is easily search results me show which is a threat to my privacy. Can you help me in this Case. I want you remove my surname from my user name.

Reason: I recently created this account to suggest edits to
The Bank of New York Mellon. I work for The Bank of New York Mellon in external communications and I want there to be no ambiguity that I am indeed here on behalf of my employer, and that I'm the only person at the company with access to the account. An editor suggested my current username MM BNY Mellon is ambiguous. To avoid any confusion, I would like to change my username to Madelyn BNY Mellon.
