Reason: My username is related to the name of a city (in Polish: Warszawianka = woman from Warsaw). I moved to Pruszków (Pruszkowianka = woman from Pruszków), where I intend to spend many years, if not the rest of my life. I am in love with the place and would like to be involved in its life. I want my nickname to reflect this and to be factually correct :) . Especially as I intend to edit a lot about Pruszków on plwiki (and maybe enwiki in the future)

I would like to request a change of my username. Only after registering to take part in the 1Lib1Ref campaign, I realised that I should not have used my surname. Since my surname is used together with the first letter of my name there is a potential for doxing which I would prefer to avoid.
Could you please change my username to: BlueLenses
After the change of username will take place, I would prefer that my new username would be displayed everywhere for privacy reasons.
Thank you in advance.

I'm just seeing this. This is a really bad idea @
DreamRimmer and @
Deepfriedokra. Even if it's under the control of Gunnet only, it now creates an impersonation risk because "Amiya at Squadcast" would cause people to believe the account belongs to the CEO of Squadcast, Amiya Adwitiya, when it is in fact a different person, a Product Marketing Associate at Squadcast, running the account.
lizthegrey (

There was a small misunderstanding. I thought Amiya was Guneet's nickname, and both names referred to a single person, so I went ahead and renamed this. –

Maybe 'OnCallObserver07' as the new username.?
I'll be mostly contributing to the space of incident management and on-call schedules and management. So this username would do great. Other than that I don't want to showcase my name for privacy issues
