Reason: Hello, since I'm fairly new to editing Wikipedia, I had quite a bit of trouble even setting up my user page. Hence, if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to change just my username as previously stated, without again going through the process of creating a new account and changing my current page settings. Kindly permit me to do so if it is possible under Wikipedia's rules, for which I'd be highly grateful. If it is required for me to provide some useful edits for this privilege, I'm willing. Thank you.

Bureaucrat note: Are you sure? It's not always a good idea to use your real name on Wikipedia. It can lead to harassment. --

Reason: I was asked to change the username by an administrator as the current one seemed to reflect a conflict of interest.

Using your real name as a username may put you at risk for harassment on a site such as Wikipedia. Are you comfortable with this? –

You seem to be signing as "Tom Liddle", and you refer to "capitalisation" in your reasoning. You should be aware that you are able to take "Tom Liddle". —Anonymous DissidentTalk 11:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)reply
Reason: User:Riffic has been contacting me via accounts I hold on other web resources (Digg.com, last.fm) I believe this is the result of an AFD I proposed for an article he felt passionate about
Little Fyodor which was deleted and recreated several times. I have requested deletion of those accounts but would like to continue to contribute to Wikipedia so I'm requesting a username change and one that is reflective of my involvement in

He probably can't as the name is too similar so can't be created. So, Done.

Bureaucrat note: I'm not sure what to make of this. For one, the characters don't display right for me. bibliomaniac15 02:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
The characters render properly on my browser. I must agree, however; this is far too complex for a username in my opinion. –
JuliancoltonTropicalCyclone 02:47, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
Well, that's okay. How about just "iAdem"? --
NewSinew (
talk) 03:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
It'll have to be "IAdem"; because of technical reasons usernames can't start lowercase. Is that fine with you? bibliomaniac15 03:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
You could, of course, sign with "iAdem", so there's little difference visually. –
JuliancoltonTropicalCyclone 04:35, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
And there are ways of altering the title of your userpage. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 04:47, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
Yes, that's quite alright. Please change it and I thank you all for your time. --
NewSinew (

Oh, and one other thing. Would one of you mind explaining how to change my signature and userpage name on my new talk page? It would be much appreciated and save me much time figuring it out. --
NewSinew (

Done. I'll leave a message on your talk page about changing signature etc.

Reason: Want to more closely reflect real name. (Note: can the first letter be lowercase? If not, I'll live with it. :)

Done Sorry, usernames can't start lowercase for technical reasons. However, if you'd like your name to show up lowercase on your userpage, you can just put in {{
lowercase}} and it'll change the title. bibliomaniac15 20:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)reply
Reason: I would like to close my account and was told that changing usernames is one way of doing this. I am not interested in contributing anymore to this site and account deletion is not possible and this is the next option.
