 * Not I, but the account I have listed here. I have been in contact with the IT staff of this school via unblock-en-l and they expressed interest in having abuse reports sent to them for internal disciplinary action.  Thus I created this account for them, blocked it, and they have confirmed the mailing list address on the account.  The rename is all that remains to be done before we can unblock the school's IP and post a note on the talk page directing admins to report abuse after blocking.  --Chris (talk) 21:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, job done. Thanks for your patience and explanation. On your behalf, as a trusted editor, this request has been completed.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:19, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

May I also request that my counterpart Wikimedia account of the same username be likewise changed to sw111 for a unified user login. I understand that my current username suggests that I am a role account, however, this account is not shared by multiple people and the edits I make under this account represent only my own edits as an individual. I promise to continue to edit in good faith and not for the purpose of promotion, advocacy or other unsuitable agenda, but solely for the purpose of building and improving the Wikipedia as a trusted reference website. I am here to edit on topics that I am knowledgeable in or have very reliable resources to base my edits on, and I am willing to learn more with a lot of help from the Wikipedia community. When in doubt about the neutrality of my future edits, definitely I would ask you guys first for comments and advice, and submit the proposed or suggested edits to a discussion for approval on the relevant talk page or noticeboard using the necessary request template.

To promote transparency and abide by COI, I feel it's important that our username be changed so it's not verbatim our company name. However, to promote transparency and still provide some affiliation with our company, I feel its important that if we do not include at least a portion of our company name, we are not following the principles of Jimmy Wales who was quoted as saying, "...identify yourself as the 'communications' guy from _____ company." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/technology/19wikipedia.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1 This is the balance we are trying to strike. Thank you for your consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alcoa (talk • contribs) 13:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Reason: Current username Alcoa does not comply with Wikipedia:Username policy because it is the name of my company. Suggest change username to Alcoa Editor which is my functional title and how I'm referred to at work and on our web site.  I feel this will also promote transparency.  Thanks for your consideration.

 * Jimmy suggested to post something to that effect on your talk page, he didn't say to make it your username (nor does he set policy on these things anyway). If another bureaucrat feels that "Alcoa Editor" is appropriate, then they can go ahead and complete this change; but I don't think having the company name in there alleviates the concern. The fact that this account changes hands from time to time is also problematic; wp:role accounts are not permitted (with rare exceptions). Please choose a name that represents you and confirm that this account will not change hands again. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 13:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you for clarification. Please change my username to 'Alcoa Corp Comm' and I hereby confirm that this is my personal account and will not change hands. –<font face="verdana" color="black">Alcoa

 * Reason: For some time, I have been thinking to rename by current username to Volcanoguy because my main work on Wikipedia is related to volcanology and igneous petrology. So renaming to Volcanoguy is better and a more accurate username than Black Tusk. I picked my current username because when I wanted to become a user of Wikipedia in 2006 I could not think of a username, so I used Black Tusk from the Canadian volcano as a fill in.
