The new username would allow people who know me to more readily recognize my contributions while still preserving my privacy as my last name is not included. PS.. I would actually prefer just Sergio as username but it seems to be already taken. I am not sure if I could or how hard it would be to get the username Sergio. If this is possible, that would be my first choice, but if this is not possible or too complicated then Sergio01 is my next best choice.

I wish to exercise my "right to vanish". Simply retiring isn't enough - I wish to disassociate myself from Wikipedia entirely. As there is no account deletion facility the best I can do is a name change then retirement. I should be grateful if you would action my request which is in good faith. I really have lost patience with Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community, this exchange confirms my feelings. If you wish to block the new username after the name change, please feel free to do so.
