  • Hold it. It seems to interfere with my SUL account. I'd like to keep mine if possible and if not, please disregard my inquire or advise me what I can do if anything. The Magnificent Clean-keeper ( talk) 21:24, 10 July 2010 (UTC) reply
  • I'm not sure how it interferes with your SUL, but someone registered Marvin ( talk · contribs) on enwiki in 2002, so this belongs at WP:USURP and eo:Vikipediisto:Marvin has several hundred edits, so you would need to ensure he is inactive to avoid squatting on his SUL claim. MBisanz talk 21:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks for the info and your effort. Guess I'll just stick with my current account then and you or someone else can mark this one as resolved/closed as it seems too complicated for now. Best, The Magnificent Clean-keeper ( talk) 22:27, 10 July 2010 (UTC) reply

  •  Not done due to no response, if editor is concerned about their real name they should simply abandon the account and start a new one (since a rename will leave a trace). If they take this action, let us know and we can rename this account to 'Renamed user nnn' or somesuch. – xeno talk 17:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC) reply

 Clerk note: If you are not being renamed on Korean Wikipedia i strongly recommend against this rename. Non-Latin characters have been welcome on English Wikipedia for a few years now (we were among the last to do so). You have over 4000 edits on Korean Wikipedia. Changing your user name here will break your Single Unified Login delirious & lost~hugs~ 08:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC) reply
Comment: It may be possible to create a Doppelganger account for this purpose though, if you wish an ease-to-type latin name. In that case the following should be done:
  1. Create a new account and redirect its user and talk pages to your main account.
  2. Add a notice on your main account that the new account is yours, so to avoid sockpuppetry issues.
  3. Update your main accounts signature, so that it will display the new account name (You could also link to the second account directly, but since its just a redirect it will end up on your talk page anyway).
That way you will keep your old account and cross-wiki sul, while also allowing other users to easily type your user name in the search window. Do keep in mind that non-latin usernames are also allowed so there is no problem keeping your current name. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 12:50, 12 July 2010 (UTC) reply

  1. Somewhat off topic, but why not edonga? (for the rest of you the romanisation of his user name :P) NativeForeigner Talk/ Contribs 21:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC) reply
'Nizgoon' is my other nickname in Korean websites. And I wouldn't "romanise" the original name because '이동아' is my real name and if I romanise it, it would be mis-pronounced (e.g. e-don-ga). -- 이동아 ( talk) 02:58, 18 July 2010 (UTC) reply
