If the username was of a person involved in a controversial incident (most notably naming yourself after a murdered person or school shooter such as “[[wikipedia:Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold|Eric Harris]]” or “[[wikipedia:George Floyd|George Floyd]]”), it makes sense to ban the username. But if someone creates an username named “[[wikipedia:Taylor Swift|Taylor Swift]]” or something, they could be a fan of the person without implying anything bad.

:It's still impersonation. It has nothing to do with if the celebrity is controversial or not, we don't want a random person impersonating a celebrity.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#F34134">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F7837B">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#8334B7">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#AE7BD0">ire</span>]] 05:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC) | :It's still impersonation.

==Changing Username== | |||
So I fully understand that you all normally do not change usernames. Which, I get that. But my username is based off my IRL name. Is it possible to change that? [[User:AndrewM|AndrewM]] ([[User talk:AndrewM|talk]]) 07:20, 5 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
