- @Doultremontcollege: Your requested username doesn't look that far off from your existing username, and as such it will probably still come across as unacceptable by some. I would recommend that you pick a new username. (Also note that being renamed won't automatically unblock you; you will still need to follow the process to requesting an unblock on the relevant wikis) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:57, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

- Renamer note: Sorry, simply changing a few letters into numbers doesn't change the fact that it is still a company name (see WP:CORPNAME). Please note that usernames that are the name of a company or organization are not permitted, however, they're allowed if they make it very clear that the account belongs to an individual. For example, "Example Industries" is not a permissible username, but "John at Example Industries" is. Also note that the username cannot indicate a post or position within the company. "Secretary at Example Industries" is not acceptable all the same. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:37, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
