- Dropsecure, Renamer note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name?. Cabayi (talk) 09:18, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- I have no clue. @Drm310 said I need to use real name instead of using my company name if I need to make edits to articles etc Dropsecure (talk) 11:02, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Dropsecure: It appears there's been some confusion. The username policy requires that a username represent you, as an individual, not that you must use your real name. You're welcome to pick any name that isn't already in use and that doesn't make it appear you are representing a company or organization. You can see if a username is already in use by visiting Special:CentralAuth. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:05, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- oh darn...now how can I convert to a pseudonym kind of thing then?
- Has it been changed from DropSecure to Amish then? Dropsecure (talk) 19:14, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Dropsecure: Nothing has been changed yet. A pseudonym is fine. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:31, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
