I have read them, and understand that they apply to the edits I made. At the time that I listed my book, The Nature of Information, in the Further Reading section of the Wikipedia article on Information, I also added a link in the External Links section of the same article to a website that sells a copy of a paper on the same subject, not realizing that it was contravening Wikipedia policy. The listing for both the link and the book were removed, and I have since had correspondence with Wikipedia editors on the subject (see Talk: Information), and asked that the listing for the book be reconsidered on its own merits, separately from the link, whose removal I completely understand. In the process, I was advised by two Wikipedia editors to change my user name, as it also was counter to Wikipedia rules. All I want is to have my book reconsidered for listing in the article where it belongs, and am hopeful that a change of user name may facilitate that. I hope it does. Thank you.

Reason: The username I currently use for wikipedia seems to be rather popular on numerous other sites; considering that I would like to keep my usernames the same across the net, this poses a problem. As this is the only website where I go by the moniker of Suicidal Lemming, I kindly request that it be changed to PowerSane. There are other causes for my desire to change username if this is not sufficient reason, however.

Done Balloonman, you have dozens of subpages. When I moved Balloonman to Balloonman (usurped), redirects were created and Balloonman's subpages were moved over to Balloonman (usurped). When I moved Spartacus! to Balloonman, many of the same subpages were to be moved across but couldn't be done automatically due to the redirects. So there are about 5 dozen subpages that need to be moved across and redirects to be deleted. I don't have the time to do that now, and will only be able to get to a couple for the moment.

Clerk note: I may be missing something, but the requested name does not look shorter than your current name. Also, do you really want those non-standard characters in your username? It will be hard to log in from handhelds, etc. MBisanztalk 03:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)reply
Yeah, you're missing something on this one. By "shorter" he's comparing the requested username with the username he requested one section above this one, rather than comparing the requested username with his current one.

I have read them, and understand that they apply to the edits I made. At the time that I listed my book, The Nature of Information, in the Further Reading section of the Wikipedia article on Information, I also added a link in the External Links section of the same article to a website that sells a copy of a paper on the same subject, not realizing that it was contravening Wikipedia policy. The listing for both the link and the book were removed, and I have since had correspondence with Wikipedia editors on the subject (see Talk: Information), and asked that the listing for the book be reconsidered on its own merits, separately from the link, whose removal I completely understand. In the process, I was advised by two Wikipedia editors to change my user name, as it also was counter to Wikipedia rules. All I want is to have my book reconsidered for listing in the article where it belongs, and am hopeful that a change of user name may facilitate that. I hope it does. Thank you.

Bureaucrat note: Hi. Happy to rename you. That username (Peter1987) already has some edits on other language wikipedias. I might still be inclined to agree to the change, but you will find it hard to
unify the account, because in dutch (especially) there are a couple of
GFDL significant edits and I'm not sure whether the Dutch crats would agree to you usurping that account. Easiest and best for you (IMHO) would be for you to choose a different name, but if you're dead set on that one, I'd agree to it. --
