{{User|Leonardo DiCaprio}} I left a note on her user talk page advising her to change her name. To sound less bite-y (WP:BITE), I asked her to save it for the famous (not real) Leonardo. Is a polite message and block the right thing to do? [[User:Mrs.EasterBunny|Mrs.EasterBunny]] ([[User talk:Mrs.EasterBunny|talk]]) 19:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC) I have studied [[WP:U]] which states "You should not edit under the real name of a well-known living person unless it is your real name, and you either are that person, or you make it clear that you are not. Such usernames may be blocked as a precaution, until it can be confirmed that the user in question is using their real name." So this person makes it clear that she is a fan and not the famous Leonardo. Do we let her keep her username???

Leonardo DiCaprio (talk · contribs) I left a note on her user talk page advising her to change her name. To sound less bite-y (WP:BITE), I asked her to save it for the famous (not real) Leonardo.
