Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Steven Tyler, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

 * I actually accidentally published the edit without filling in the summary with exactly what I wanted, but after publishing I thought that what was left was still sufficient. The issue about unreliable sources is not necesarily about the publication, but rather the interviewee, and the link that was in the summary for the second edit was to me definitive evidence in favour of removing those claims.

Help me!
Please help me with... figuring out the best way to change my identity. Ideally I'd like to remove any mention of my real name from Wikipedia and start using an identity that I use on other non-personal websites, however even a courtesy vanishing wouldn't completely remove these as it wouldn't remove already-existing signatures and it isn't intended for this anyway. Considering this, I think the best way is to retire this account and make a new one, as there isn't any practical difference to vanishing since my username would linger around anyway in those signatures.

However, I do have to mention that I used to have an account by the name I'd like to use, but I didn't use it at all and eventually deleted it, thinking that I'd just rename my account, but I thankfully never got around to doing so since it'd be worse than retiring because it would directly associate my old username with my new one by redirecting old signatures, but I'm still uncertain about this so I'm asking just to see if maybe I missed something.

 * Hi Ștefan,
 * This is entirely up to you. If you want to use your old account, and rename it, that's fine. If you want to retire this account and start again, you can do that.

 * I suppose I should clarify myself, but I feel like none of the possible solutions that I've talked about are ideal, and was wondering if there is possibly a better way to do this. As I have mentioned though, I think that retiring is probably the best way out of these though, since even courtesy vanishing doesn't actually remove old signatures, just redirects to the new username, and of course that's for permanent removal. I suppose the only practical difference is that the correlation between your discussion and contributions is removed, but your name still ends up lingering on in some form.
 * So yeah, if I can't figure out a better way, I think I'll just have to accept that my name will still be present here and retire this account. One thing's for sure, though, if I had a time machine I definitely would've told my past self not to make a Wikipedia account with their real name—among other things of course.

Help me!
Please help me with... problems with changing identity. This is a bit weird, but I sort of need to have everything that I wrote in my previous question considered for this as well.

At this point, I've decided on a clean start as the best possible option, but as I mentioned, I already had an account by the name I'd like to go by, but obviously I didn't actually delete it as that is not possible. Instead, I vanished it. I don't know if I thought that it didn't matter that I would still be editing Wikipedia from another account (as a courtesy vanishing is intended for people who will never edit Wikipedia again) or that I just didn't know that condition. Of course, you aren't allowed to have two Wikipedia accounts in the first place, so its existence was never a good thing, but I genuinely have no idea what to do at this point.

 * That's not correct. See WP:LEGITSOCK. You are allowed to have multiple Wikipedia accounts so long as you aren't using them to cheat discussions, evade sanctions or scrutiny, or otherwise being disruptive. In this case, I would just edit as normal and only provide information about the previous, now-vanished account if directly asked about previous accounts. —Jéské Couriano v^&lowbar;^v  Source assessment notes 18:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
