Almax999 → DisturbedNerd999

 * Reason: My current username (Almax999) was actually the name of a couple of other accounts that I have on different sites, and whenever someone Google searches "Almax999" they'll find me on here (I've seen it myself). I had also recently found out that having such a username is a risk of being seen by others who know me on different sights. (One account that has this same name is my email). So, to avoid being found and harrassed, I should change my name to something different. I also plan to go back to any talk pages I have signed over the past several months and change the signature so that my old username is not visible there anymore. Al  max  999  20:56, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * To be honest, I have seen my current Wikipedia username appear in a Google search on an article's talk page. Anyways, I'll change it when I get my new name (if I get my new name).-- Al max  999  23:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I am a bit concerned about your abuse of multiple accounts. Kingturtle (talk) 03:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have promised to stop abusing multiple accounts, but if I still can't be granted a name change because of that, then I guess I deserve it. Of course if I do get renamed, my sockpuppetry case and suspected sock puppets will follow me. If I still can't be renamed, then I may have no choice but to delete my user page and/or stop editing here. I do currently have one alternate account that has never been used for sockpuppetry, and it will never be used for sockpuppetry. The only other registered account I had (the sockpuppet) is indef'ed, so nobody will use that. I also don't edit as an anon IP anymore, so as to avoid being suspected of sockpuppetry again. If I may, I would like to bring up the fact that this same username that I currently have is the same username I have for email and a few other sites. I also edit here against my family's wishes (they don't like Wikipedia, but I do). In order to avoid trouble at home and elsewhere on the Internet, I need to keep my identity here confidential. Again, if I can't be renamed, then I will very likely have my user pages deleted and possibly retire early.-- Al max  999  04:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Help
Good evening. I have changed my user account name from "BigFatPigCa" to "TagSmallPig". However, in the following edit history entry

" SineBot (Talk | contribs) m (52,687 bytes) (Signing comment by BigFatPigCa (talk) ) "

The old account name BigFatPigCa still appears without being replaced with the new account name "TagSmallPig". How can I make it disappeared totally? I have read the renaming instruction and waiting for servel days. And the name still remains the old one.

Thanks very much for helpping to solve this problem. It is very important for me. BigFatPigCa (talk) 15:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
