Thanks for the speedy action [[User:MBisanz]], but having a publicly-visible page redirect from my now-unused real name page to my current user page kind of defeats the goal of a modest degree of pseudonymity. Any way to fix it so that re-direct does not show the way it currently does? Thank you. - [[User:No barometer of intelligence|No barometer of intelligence]] ([[User talk:No barometer of intelligence|talk]]) 17:20, 8 February 2013 (UTC) |

- Datestamp: 17:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

- Clerk note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? Tyrol5 [Talk] 20:33, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- It seems that you are wanting to rename your account so your user page appears under the new title. As your user page is the only page you have edited besides this one, I doubt you are really here to build an encyclopedia. We can't really accept that. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I will be linking proprietary articles, pages and contents on to my page, going forward and hence, requesting user name change. Sriram Kannan
- Thanks for replying. My apologies if I've misunderstood, but it seems that you wish to link articles to your userpage. Is this true? If so, please note that while real names are permitted per the username policy, self-promotion is not permitted per this policy. You're more than welcome to carry on with the rename, but be advised that self-promotion isn't allowed (if that is your intention, that is; apologies if I'm off the mark). Thanks, Tyrol5 [Talk] 03:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

- Not done Your only edits have been to your self-promotional userpage. If you begin to contribute to other parts of the project or remove the self-promotional resume from your userpage, I would complete this request at a later date. MBisanz talk 01:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
