User names policy
Your user signature should accurately reflect  your  Wikipedia identity (WP:UNCONF). Changing user name by  moving and redirecting  is not  authorised. It causes confusion  with  recognising you,   in  the notifications process, and  many  other categories and automated functions of the software.

To change your  user name please follow the instruction  at: WP:UNC. Alternatively, as your account  is very  new and hardly  used, you  may  wish  to  consider abandoning  this account  and creating  a new account  in the name under which  you  prefer to  be known (being  sure to  interlink  the two  accounts). If you have any  questions, don't  hesitate to  ask me on my  user page. Happy editing ! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:49, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * , hi there! Unless I missed something, I believe that  did get renamed properly already.  Is there something I'm missing here? Waggie (talk) 01:58, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Possibly - I didn't  check. I  was confused because under their previous  name the software kept  telling  em no such  user exists, and of course ping  templates won't  work for redirects. I  was taken aback by  their jumping  straight  into  site  management  areas with  no  serious  edits to their count. It's not  forbidden but  it's certainly  not something  we encourage.

 * I also noticed, and was also concerned. My concerns have since been alleviated, for reasons explained partially by ActiveListener95's response below.  Your vigilance is admirable, however! Waggie (talk) 04:28, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, and part of that is probably the newbie showing in my account. I contacted after discussing a very private topic that could reveal my identity, and also as to the (WP:UNCONF) the reason I asked for my name to be changed from Expertlistener95 to ActiveListener95 was to avoid confusion, specific in the IRC Channel so other new users entering the room, wouldn't think I was a helper. I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on anything else I need to do/explain to clear any confusion up. Thank you, ActiveListener95 (talk) 02:59, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
