You have flagged my account for two instances that are unwarranted. I am new to Wikipedia and only tried to change my user name mdte to my actual name Michael K Dane. I did all of the work in Sandbox and abandoned the effort when I discovered that I was unable to do it. Unfortunately, I could find no way of deleting the Sandbox file that I tried to amend. I would ideally like to be known as Michael K Dane, but if that is not possible, I would appreciate your help in removing the conflict and let me remain as mdte.

As for the image from the Tehran Journal, please be advised that the newspaper was published by Americans ex-pats in Tehran prior to the Iranian Revolution of 1978. The publication ceased to exist following the revolution and the publisher was disbanded therefore no entity holds a copyright for this material and it is considered to be in the public domain. The picture provides vital context and information that enriches the article on the Iranian National Ballet and as a former member of the Iranian National Ballet company (and depicted in the photo), I thought this information was important to share.

I have contacted the only known archive which may hold reproduction rights to this material from the Teheran Journal. I will let you know how they respond. In the meantime I have included the link to the archive.

Change username to Michael K Dane and delete mdte
I would like to delete the mdte username that I created and keep the Michael K Dane , or simply change the mdte to Michael K Dane so there is no duplicate account.

I don't know where to enter the symbol that you asked me to enter on the page.

Please advise me, if you would be so kind.

Thank You

 * I already explained you twice on my talk page: it is impossible to delete an user account. The software simply does not allow that. is used to request deletion of your user page (you can insert it anywhere on the page), but you cannot delete your account. You can just abandon old account and use the new one, that is OK. But, you cannot delete the old account.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  13:50, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
