I think this user lost their username or password and created a second account that unfortunately violates the WP:UPOL. I'm requesting be blocked in favor of the more acceptable (albeit still promotional) alternative username of. I believe this was a good faith honest mistake by someone who is unaware of the protocols here. Thank you. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 20:15, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Hi! I believe that Technical 13 (I think that's their username) is correct here. I didn't know that using an organizational Wikipedia username was frowned upon, so I requested a username change to Helen SFPR (in order to show that an individual [me] is in control of the account, NOT an organization as a whole). I was under the impression that the other account name - SFPR1 - would disappear once I changed my username, but I appear to be mistaken. That would explain the existence of both accounts.

So that I don't make this mistake in the future, how can I avoid creating two accounts when I want to change my username?

Thank you!
