"Rude"
I don't know where you are from, or what values you hold. However, if a person picks up a career of mass publicity as Maria "****" Ozawa has, then unless she specifically requests her identity to be a secret, there is no reason to protect her identity as indicated by published sources. What is the username of the admin who you got to delete my edits? What made you decide that you were rude all of a sudden?

P.S. it's not rude to use my name. You can call me David Somers-Harris anytime you want. --Davidkazuhiro (talk) 19:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I never said that I don't approve of her career. I don't really care either way. That's not why I'm "broadcasting" her information (interesting verb choice since this is an encyclopaedia as opposed to a paparazzi magazine).

And it's silly to conclude that she doesn't want people knowing things just from the fact that she hasn't "revealed" them, especially when it comes to her real name. Do we ask Elton John's permission before we go around telling people his real name is Reginald Dwight? How about Jenna Jameson, should we not know that her real/former last name is Massoli? If somebody is going to appear in the media and contribute to culture by working in the show business, then it is accepted that their real name should be known. Sure there's room for special requests for privacy which should be respected, but that is not the case in Maria Ozawa's situation so far.

What is the username of the editor who made the request and the username of the admin who removed my edits? --Davidkazuhiro (talk) 22:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

"Just let it go"... does the opposite effect man. I'm glad you're not anybody's counsellor, doctor (I hope). I'm done here but I encourage you to be careful with the assumptions you make about people before you type them out. Words tend to hurt more in writing than when spoken. Assume the best, and give all the benefit of the doubt you can. I apologize for any part I took in flaring you up. I appreciate the passion and efficiency with which you pursued this issue. I wish you happy editing on Wikipedia and a Merry Christmas. --Davidkazuhiro (talk) 07:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
