Renamer note:Ceramiccoffeepot, I'm reluctant to act on this request. Wikipedia strongly advises against
using real names or any name which is traceable to you.
Your professor/teacher should not be pressuring you to use a specific username. If they wish to discuss the policy (and their duty of care to you) I'm open to discussion.

Nihonjoe, "uni assignment" - why does a user need to change username for an assignment if not because of pressure from their instructor? The
WP:REALNAME advice is not restricted to real names, it also encompasses "a nickname which might be traced to you" -

they arent pressuring me to change my name, it just makes it easier for them to identify me, it is not close to my real name and the 4 numbers are random.

Renaming policy requires "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct." Your "home" wiki is the Vietnamese wiki. I'd recommend you get your account unblocked on the Chinese wiki, then make your request on the global queue,

Thanks. How can I get my account unblocked on the Chinese wiki? My account on Chinese Wikipedia has been blocked for violating PRC government law. I thought Wikipedia was American so I don't care. Specifically, I posted a line of text on my Wikipedia account page thinking that no one cares. The Chinese Wikipedia administrators blocked me and gave the reason
