Reason: This user is a sock and permanently banned. However on any web search of keyword Kaikolar (a tamil tribe) the user's page is coming up. It means Kaikolar are prostitutes in the language tamil and hence degrading and has no relevance to the search. As it is easier to fix the name of a banned sock, requesting to change it. Thanks

Reason: I mainly just really dislike how the “Mr” makes the user name very formal and stuffy-sounding. I only added it at the time because Redact (one word) was taken. Also, when I created the account, I didn’t realize that it was possible for a user name to contain a space.
MrRedact (

P.S.: I’m a little concerned that my request might be considered to go against the policy against
similar usernames, due to the existing Redact
(contribs) username. However, the policy says that “a username that is similar only to unused or inactive accounts should not be a problem,” and Redact is a very minimally used account. The only edits Redact has ever made are some minor edits to
Kingston, Devon last July, and uploading a picture of a sunset that isn’t used anywhere. In contrast, I’ve made 779 edits over the year I’ve had my account.
