User talk:KevinBelmonte

Your User Name
Hi there

Welcome to Wikipedia. I need to address the issue of the User Name you have chosen to use, which is also the name of a well-known author of biographies of Christian reformers and writers. As I have good reason to believe that you are not Kevin Belmonte, I wonder whether (to avoid confusion) you would consider changing the name under which you are contributing to Wikipedia.

I see that you have edited, amongst other things, the article on William Wilberforce, and as Kevin Belmonte is one of the authors cited in that article I feel there is some room for confusion for readers if you are also adding and correcting text under that name.

Obviously, I am sure you are not intentionally impersonating Mr Belmonte, but I would be grateful if you would give this matter urgent consideration and consider whether you would be able to use another name.

I would appreciate it if you could get back to me as soon as possible so that this issue can be resolved speedily. Thanks. Agendum (talk) 09:21, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
