Reason: this username was changed because of some business promotion issue but the person who changed my username did not care if I used my old username at all, because the only thing that was needed was the removal of my website, which I did, and there is virtually no issue with my old username (fluddsskark).

Cabayi, I believe the person who changed my username did not care much if I changed the username or not, I only did it because it was at the heat of the moment and I didn't consider much. Kindly change my username back as I do not promote businesses.

I made the original rename, and although I said that I personally had no objection to the original name, I also stated that consensus was against allowing website names, and that I would not go against consensus because of my personal opinion. I take the same view when wearing my global renamer hat as I do when wearing my administrator hat: my job is to uphold policy and consensus, not to impose my personal preference. Reverting the rename is therefore totally out of the question. For information, in case any of you are interested, pinging

Reason: i have this old wikipedia account, it's 17 years old, i had that username before someone accessed my account in 2013, as per an email i found while searching; it was changed from AhmedShaban to that FrIsKyPhAnToM name, so if its possible i could revert back to my old username.

Not done There is no record of any account named "AhmedShaban" ever having existed, whether renamed to "FrIsKyPhAnToM" or not, so what you say about the history of the account does not seem to be accurate. However, since your account has never made any edits at all except for posting to this page to request this name change, there will be nothing lost if you just abandon this account and create a new one with your preferred username.

Not done I see that you have already submitted this request to the Global Rename Request interface on meta, and had it declined. You may find it instructive to read
WP:FORUMSHOP. In the unlikely event that MrFlyingPies23 contains part of your real name which you didn't notice when you requested that rename, it's nothing to worry about, because nobody looking at that username would ever guess that it does. Taking up server capacity by repeatedly requesting renames at short intervals is not acceptable, especially if it is done while giving frivolous reasons.
