Reason: I am writing to request a change of username. My current username,is easily identifiable and I would like to maintain greater privacy while contributing to Wikipedia.

@
Michaelrwparker, The request was declined
for a reason. If you don't want your real name associated, I can rename this account to the desired anonymous username, but you are stating that you will start again with the same real username with a new account, and I don't understand this. The simple solution to your problem is: have this account renamed to an anonymous username and keep using that account only. If you are returning to using the same username again, I don't find any merit in approving this request. Every one makes mistakes. I have myself made a lot of errors back when I started editing. ─

Last week I had limited internet access which prevented me logging in and making a prompt reply. Wikipedia tries too hard to be a credible source. I have no intentions to be a regular contributor to this platform. I will only make edits that are appropriate and that best represent my interests (for example correcting spelling/grammar or updating the "Calvin Harris" entry). I take on board your concern and I have decided I won't make a new account. I shall continue to use this account for the foreseeable future. Please make the username change. Thank you

Reason: Preferrence. While I am not trying to disconnect my person from the name of "Saint Lum", I frankly decided on my account name in a rush, and did not check on any other available usernames. "Volpìlh" also means 'little fox' in Provençal, a word which has a large sentimental value to me, both due to being an occitanist, and due to being a furry.

Reason: I again sincerely apologise for the bother I am making, especially on New Year's eve. I found out today, that "Volpìlh" is the
Mistralian way of writing "Volpilh", which has largely been depreciated by the actively maintained
classical norm. I did not know this, and several Wiktionary entries uses the Mistralian norm without any notice that it actually is the Mistralian norm, and not the standard classical one (something which I currently plan to correct in the future).
With this in mind, I would like to revert back to the username Volpilh. This is sort of embarrassing to me, as I was certain that this was correct. I am only happy I figured this out sooner, rather than later. I sincerely apologise for wasting your time and effort. Sorry. ─
