Thanks for replying. My apologies if I've misunderstood, but it seems that you wish to link articles to
your userpage. Is this true? If so, please note that while
real namesare permitted per the
username policy, self-promotion is not permitted per
this policy. You're more than welcome to carry on with the rename, but be advised that self-promotion isn't allowed (if that is your intention, that is; apologies if I'm off the mark). Thanks,

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the CSD notifications on the editor's

Ritendra prasad, presumably (from the notices) about a person. I'm personally inclined to believe the creations (having looked at the deleted histories) were innocent autobios of a newcomer, but that (I think) was the reasoning.

Reason: Is my name and hence, would be more appropriate if it appears that way.

Clerk note: Sriram Kannan
It seems that you are wanting to rename your account so your user page appears under the new title. As your user page is the only page you have edited besides this one, I doubt you are really here to
build an encyclopedia. We can't really accept that. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Reason: I will be linking proprietary articles, pages and contents on to my page, going forward and hence, requesting user name change.
Sriram Kannan
Thanks for replying. My apologies if I've misunderstood, but it seems that you wish to link articles to
your userpage. Is this true? If so, please note that while
real namesare permitted per the
username policy, self-promotion is not permitted per
this policy. You're more than welcome to carry on with the rename, but be advised that self-promotion isn't allowed (if that is your intention, that is; apologies if I'm off the mark). Thanks,
Tyrol5[Talk] 03:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Reason: Thanks, for replying. Certainly, the change is NOT intended for self-promotion.
Sriram Kannan
No problem. I'll
assume good faith. A
bureaucrat will come around and perform the rename, barring any concerns from the bureaucrat him/herself. Thanks and regards,

Reason: The original user name was chosen when Iorigin ally opened my account. Over the years I have moved away from that user nane and no longer use it anywhere. It is no longer associated with me and is confusing when I log into a site that still has/had the original user name.

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the CSD notifications on the editor's
talk page, notifying the editor of the two-time CSD nomination of
Ritendra prasad, presumably (from the notices) about a person. I'm personally inclined to believe the creations (having looked at the deleted histories) were innocent autobios of a newcomer, but that (I think) was the reasoning.

Clerk note: Please note that while "karothiya" can be lowercase, the MediaWiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter in usernames, meaning that "Pramod" cannot be lowercase. You can however, place {{
lowercase}} on
your userpage to give it that appearance of all-lowercase. Note to
bureaucrat: only edits are to autobiographical userpage, indicating possible promotion.
