Reason: I understand the conflict of interest issue with my previous username, and I will no longer be contributing to the "Tsavo (band)" wiki, as I realize that it a conflict of interest. I simply ask that the information already made available and the page that others HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO be left without deletion. I have passed the duties of editing the "Tsavo (band)" wiki on to another Wikipedian. I am also aware that this is not a business directory, as I have been contributing not to "business" pages, but to pages that deal with musical groups of notability in the Northwest region. I have been seeking out the most notable unsigned bands in the region and gathering information on them. By notable these groups have significant coverage on reputable websites, often with secondary sources to verify information, and continue to create "news" that encompasses the entire West Coast of the U.S. I hope that this sways your decision and I can continue to contribute as a Wikipedian. Thank you.

Reason: Mainly, I'm a Tamil wiki contributor and I created the account with a
username in Tamil. I did do a few edits in some other projects too. I had problem in using the Soxred tool 'cos of this Tamil name. Besides, I felt that it would be nice to have my username in English (that everyone can read), and thus asked for renaming in ta.wiki. My username was then changed to
Kalaiarasy (that is my first name) in ta.wiki. I can now log in with both names, though I want to log in using my new username 'Kalairasy' finally. My username is not changed in all other wikis which I'm linked to. As all other accounts except ta.wiki were still in my old name, there was a confusion. The edits that I make with the new username is not being updated in the list of 'My contributions' or in the list of 'Pages created by me'. Therefore, I made a request for renaming in all wikis in Wikimedia.
You can see my request and their reply
here. As they replied that I should request renaming locally in wikis with local bureaucrats, I make my request here too. Meanwhile, I wrote a note in
my discussion page in ta.wiki. Can you please change my name to Kalaiarasy instead of கலை as soon as possible. Please do the renaming in en.wikipedia, en.wikinews, en.wikiquotes, en.wikiversity, and en.wiktionary since my old name is somehow linked with these projects. I'm trying to merge my account with a universal login account. Thanks in advance.--

Reason: I understand the conflict of interest issue with my previous username, and I will no longer be contributing to the "Tsavo (band)" wiki, as I realize that it a conflict of interest. I simply ask that the information already made available and the page that others HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO be left without deletion. I have passed the duties of editing the "Tsavo (band)" wiki on to another Wikipedian. I am also aware that this is not a business directory, as I have been contributing not to "business" pages, but to pages that deal with musical groups of notability in the Northwest region. I have been seeking out the most notable unsigned bands in the region and gathering information on them. By notable these groups have significant coverage on reputable websites, often with secondary sources to verify information, and continue to create "news" that encompasses the entire West Coast of the U.S. I hope that this sways your decision and I can continue to contribute as a Wikipedian.

Reason: Mainly, I'm a Tamil wiki contributor and I created the account with a
username in Tamil. I did do a few edits in some other projects too. I had problem in using the Soxred tool 'cos of this Tamil name. Besides, I felt that it would be nice to have my username in English (that everyone can read), and thus asked for renaming in ta.wiki. My username was then changed to
Kalaiarasy (that is my first name) in ta.wiki. I can now log in with both names, though I want to log in using my new username 'Kalairasy' finally. My username is not changed in all other wikis which I'm linked to. As all other accounts except ta.wiki were still in my old name, there was a confusion. The edits that I make with the new username is not being updated in the list of 'My contributions' or in the list of 'Pages created by me'. Therefore, I made a request for renaming in all wikis in Wikimedia.
You can see my request and their reply
here. As they replied that I should request renaming locally in wikis with local bureaucrats, I make my request here too. Meanwhile, I wrote a note in
my discussion page in ta.wiki. Can you please change my name to Kalaiarasy instead of கலை as soon as possible. Please do the renaming in en.wikipedia, en.wikinews, en.wikiquotes, en.wikiversity, and en.wiktionary since my old name is somehow linked with these projects. I'm trying to merge my account with a universal login account. Thanks in advance.--
