[edit] Username
Hey, it's not a very good idea for your user name to be the name of a famous person, unless that is really your name (even, then, better to use a middle initial if possible, etc.) Why don't you change it to your real name, or, if you're uncomfortable with that, some nondescript, ordinary-sounding name? If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate. Let me know if you have any questions. - Nat Krause 11:07, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How to change your username.
Well, sign up for a new one and ask any admin to delete the old one. Cheers! BD2412 talk 06:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi. This suggestion doesn't actually change my name. And while I agree that wikipedia discourages using another name, it does not prohibit this practice outright.
I will consider whether or not to get a new name. I don't really see much point in deleting the old one.
- You could set yourself up with a pseudonym, or, as BD2412 suggested, just ask an admin to change your name to something else while retaining your userdata. Have fun on Wikipedia; hope you enjoy it! - Sensor 02:04, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

- Actually, you can request a change of name (while preserving your edit history) at Wikipedia:Changing username. Only a bureaucrat can do this, but they usually will, and within a few days of the request at that. BD2412 T 15:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfC for "Ekman"
Hi, I've completed a draft of a user conduct RfC for the guy claiming to be Peter Ekman and I would like your input. I'm wondering if this is something you could endorse, or even act as a basis-certifier. Thanks, Dsol 21:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
