[edit] Changed user name but not for the purpose of being a sock puppet.

I have changed my username from my real name Nicolaas J Smith to Herbou which is not for the purpose of being a sock puppet.

I can see the logic of not using your real name. Using your real name always leads to COI.

I may be adding to this article but not as a sock puppet of Nicolaas J Smith.

I may ask for the username Nicolaas J Smith to be deleted. I have not yet done that.

I better do it straight away so as not to technically be a sock puppet of Nicolaas J Smith.

I recommend you take a look at WP:Username. There is information on both changing your username and other factors. Please keep in mind that changing your username does not remove or otherwise resolve conflict of interest issues.--Gregalton 12:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I think an important practical use is missing - the one in international corporations, where they use units of account for trade between members of a group in different currency zones.ML-Est 15:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I am new at editing so I don't know if I have the right place.

I have been reading the "Unit of Account" entry and I am slightly confused.

I can't seem to find any real definition of "unit of account" in the way I understand definitions.

Am I missing something?

It would be nice if Herbou would take a look at this entry to see if he is totally satisfied.

In the meantime, I shall try to write a definition and contribute it for review.
