Hi! How may I change my name from Dimorsitanos into something new?

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

[edit] Macedonia and FYROM

The issue of the naming of the various territories who claim the name 'Macedonia' is a longrunning one and after long discussion we have arrived at a consensus. Please do not disrupt it by copy and paste page moves and turning pages into redirects. Disruptive editing can lead to you being blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You copied the text of Republic of Macedonia and created a new page called FYROM into which you pasted the copied text. That form of page move is not allowed because of issues with the GFDL license, which is why I speedily deleted it as housekeeping. The current location of pages relating to Macedonia is the result of lengthy discussion, which you can find by going to Talk:Republic of Macedonia and browsing around the archives. I'm afraid you are very unlikely to persuade the community to change this consensus, although there may be room for some changes if the name of the Former Yugoslav Republic is changed to the satisfaction of the Greek government, as some news sources have recently claimed it will be.

Kalimera Dimorsitane. The way that wikipedia is treating articles is with neutrality, accuracy and realism. Whatever changes you may wish to make they must be well founded and commomly accepted by the community of editors. It is not a place to "correct" history or promote and impose national or any other vues whatsoever. The Macedonia name dispute is an issue pending resolution under the UN umbrella. When and if such resolution is materialised be certain that wikipedia will straight away adjust the information provided in the related articles to meet the new and commonly accepted reality. Till then the current references, which are aligned with wiki universal convensions, will stay in place. All the best. Italiotis 10:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Administrators?

Hello, is there another administrator online beside Black and Decker to whom I may pose my questions regarding the FYROM and Republic of Macedonia article?
