- Reason: When I originally created a Wikipedia account I didn’t think that the username I choose would also be the title of the wiki page. The new name that I am submitting is the reason why I created a wiki page in the first place. Yariyarid (talk) 04:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- Renamer note: It appears that you are confusing your username for an article. Your username is the name of the account you use to log in to Wikipedia. Every user has a userpage, which is their username prefixed with "User:" (e.g. User:K6ka is my userpage). An article is any page in the main namespace, and does not have a prefix. For example, the Food article doesn't have a prefix to it. Articles are not linked to usernames or userpages; they are a separate entity. Your current userpage can be located by going to Special:MyPage. Also, every user has a user talk page, which is their username prefixed with "User talk:" (e.g. User talk:K6ka is my user talk page); this page is used to leave messages for and communicate with the user it belongs to.
- Are you trying to write an article? You may wish to read our guide on creating your first article on Wikipedia. Note that, if you are trying to write an article about yourself or something you're affiliated with (Like a company you work for), you should review our conflict of interest policy and keep in mind that Wikipedia really isn't the place to promote yourself or your company.
- Note that the requested username is not permitted under our username policy, which does not allow the usernames of companies, organizations, groups, or products, as they are considered to be promotional usernames. If you still want a username change, you will need to pick a new name. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 16:28, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
