 * Please confirm 1) You have read WP:COI 2) You have read WP:SPAMMER 3) You understand they both apply, regardless of username. --Dweller (talk) 11:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I have read them, and understand that they apply to the edits I made. At the time that I listed my book, The Nature of Information, in the Further Reading section of the Wikipedia article on Information, I also added a link in the External Links section of the same article to a website that sells a copy of a paper on the same subject, not realizing that it was contravening Wikipedia policy. The listing for both the link and the book were removed, and I have since had correspondence with Wikipedia editors on the subject (see Talk: Information), and asked that the listing for the book be reconsidered on its own merits, separately from the link, whose removal I completely understand. In the process, I was advised by two Wikipedia editors to change my user name, as it also was counter to Wikipedia rules. All I want is to have my book reconsidered for listing in the article where it belongs, and am hopeful that a change of user name may facilitate that. I hope it does. Thank you.

 * Reason: When registering for an account i didn't realize that my username would suggest a conflict of interest with an article i wrote.

I am in no way affiliated or involved with the MBA, it was just a name i came up with at the time.

 * Hi. Happy to rename you. That username (Peter1987) already has some edits on other language wikipedias. I might still be inclined to agree to the change, but you will find it hard to unify the account, because in dutch (especially) there are a couple of GFDL significant edits and I'm not sure whether the Dutch crats would agree to you usurping that account. Easiest and best for you (IMHO) would be for you to choose a different name, but if you're dead set on that one, I'd agree to it. --Dweller (talk) 09:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Suicidal Lemming → PowerSane

 * Reason: The username I currently use for wikipedia seems to be rather popular on numerous other sites; considering that I would like to keep my usernames the same across the net, this poses a problem. As this is the only website where I go by the moniker of Suicidal Lemming, I kindly request that it be changed to PowerSane. There are other causes for my desire to change username if this is not sufficient reason, however. Suicidal Lemming (talk) 01:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

1) I forgot about this account, and am currently using this as a company name... against policy.

2) Too many usernames over time. Am revamping my system for continuity - therefore more user support for sites I use (no remembering logon = no use of site)

3) Don't want my name as part of my online ID

4) wiki site clarity: one set of instructions wants 3 reasons, this says "reason" implying one. please fix inconsistent instructions

 * ✅ Balloonman, you have dozens of subpages. When I moved Balloonman to Balloonman (usurped), redirects were created and Balloonman's subpages were moved over to Balloonman (usurped). When I moved Spartacus! to Balloonman, many of the same subpages were to be moved across but couldn't be done automatically due to the redirects. So there are about 5 dozen subpages that need to be moved across and redirects to be deleted. I don't have the time to do that now, and will only be able to get to a couple for the moment.
