Hi there. I'd like to clarify, you are allowed to keep your current username if you clearly state on your userpage that you aren't the well-known person your username indicates. In addition to that you must not impersonate or try to impersonate the above mentioned celebrity. As long as you can do this you should be fine. Oh, and welcome to Wikipedia.

As Antivenin states, you are allowed to use your real name, and many of our editors do just that. Our only concern was the possibility of an impersonation. (Believe me, we've seen it happen here!) In the meantime, I hope this little bump in the road doesn't detract from your working here. --Orange Mike | Talk19:18, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
