I chose the Creative Barcode user name which is the name of a new IPR standard to be added to the IP section to bring it up to date with the latest development of an IPR standard for creative industries to underpin open innovation models. It is the opposite of a Creative Commons License (whilst complimentary to it) which is very well referenced on Wikipedia. However, only after posting an edit suggestion to the Intellectual Property section to reference Creative Barcode did I become aware that the IPR standard term cannot be used as a user name. Therefore I would like to change my user name to M.J. Horn, as an author, opinion former and commentator on IPR within the creative industries. I am also personally involved in Creative Barcode. However, it is a genuine not for profit IPR innovator and my involvement does not negate the fact that it is the most up to date entry for a new IPR standard in 2010. Therefore I would like to request that my entry introducing Creative Barcode is published but my user name as the author and account holder changed to display as my personal name M. J . Horn - if you wish to contact me directly to ask any questions please feel free to do so on <-strike email address, this is not the place to advertise-> - a not for profit organisation and newswire reporting on new innovations and supproting activities and events worldwide with 1.5 million readers worldwide.

I would like to confirm that you're sure you want this to go through as filed - keep in mind that renames for users with many edits can be problematic, and may take upwards of several weeks for all the contributions to move over.

I chose the Creative Barcode user name which is the name of a new IPR standard to be added to the IP section to bring it up to date with the latest development of an IPR standard for creative industries to underpin open innovation models. It is the opposite of a Creative Commons License (whilst complimentary to it) which is very well referenced on Wikipedia.

I would like to confirm that you're sure you want this to go through as filed - keep in mind that renames for users with many edits can be problematic, and may take upwards of several weeks for all the contributions to move over. Also, you will likely not be granted a subsequent rename after this, because of the heavy toll on the job queue - please ensure you will be satisfied with the target name. –
