Reason: As a long-retired user, I am vanishing from Wikipedia because I do not have interest in editing here anymore. I am vanishing because I feel that Wikipedia's rules are too strict to actually enjoy being here, and many users here are also snobbish and arrogant. Here's some examples of incidents that brought me to this point. Back in 2014 I've received repeated complaints about my signature and user/talk page layouts (I was younger, more hormonal and cringier back then though), and this proves Wikipedia's low tolerance for fun and creativity. Just the thought of becoming active again would depress me because of that point. More recently after I've retired this account, I occasionally edited under IP addresses (
66.214.121.92 and various IPv6 addresses), where I worked to improve the climate sections for
Hesperia, California and
Victorville, California. On edits like
this back in 2017, I worked to expand the information and added sources, but
Magnolia677 and
FlightTime erased it all and harassed me for claiming my edits were "spam" and "unsourced info," even though I tried to add as much sources as I could to support my claims. I remember Magnolia also reported me to
WP:AIV, threatening to get me blocked just because I was trying to improve the article. Because this incident really hurt me (I've never had my edits criticized like that before), I've wanted to completely vanish from Wikipedia ever since, and now I'm here. I don't think I'm even going to edit unregistered anymore. This is the first and most recent of 3 of my accounts (see below for the other two). However, for archival purposes (so I can look back in page histories for nostalgia), I request that the user page and subpages for this account are only blanked, not deleted. The strings for my vanished user names are random, from
here. If the strings are too long just shorten them to the limit. StevenD99 05:36, 19 July 2019 (UTC)reply
Reason: This was my first account and it was back when I was an undercover child/preteen. I never revealed my age until I joined under my new account above. Today was actually the decade anniversary since I first joined (July 18, 2009), which motivated me to come here to end what I would call the "decade of Wikipedia." The reasons for ending it and vanishing are already outlined above. However, because of how young I was back then, I wouldn't mind if the user page and subpages of this account are deleted (I saved the source codes of those pages on a drive so I can still look back for nostalgia). However, please MOVE all individual userboxes located
here to the Template namespace (except the 2012 userbox, I think that can be deleted). I believe I joined Wikipedia only because it was the only popular site I knew that did not have an age restriction on the sign-up page, so I did not have to lie about my age (unlike other social media sites). To hide my age and immaturity even more, I tried to use big words while here and tried to act as mature and constructively as possible, although I knew of a few users who still sensed some immaturity (most notably, blurpeace in an
editor review, and possibly some others). StevenD99 05:36, 19 July 2019 (UTC)reply
Reason: An alternative account of Steve2011/December21st2012Freak that I used to occasionally contribute with. This is the 3rd and last of my accounts that I request be renamed to a vanished user name because I've decided Wikipedia is not for me anymore. Goodbye everyone. 🙂 StevenD99 05:36, 19 July 2019 (UTC)reply
Renamer note: As per previous records you have been renamed three times in past and two of which were usurpation requests. While there's a significant timespan between consecutive renames, but I would like to mention that username changes takes valuable server resources and isn't something to be treated lightly. So would like to confirm that are you sure this is the username you would like to be renamed? ‐‐

Reason: previous name was associated with a business I ran in the 1990s/early 2000s that does not now exist. My contributions are not on behalf of this business and it causes suspicion of COI among editors.

Reason: I had registered as Jay Ackland. This I now know was a mistake, as I am editing the article on the poet Valentine Ackland. I am no relation to her, and simply admire her as an artist. I would rather register as something resembling a normal name and I'm sure I will never edit the article on the poet Wm Wordsworth. Thank you.
