Hello, I am requesting to change my name to (Jimmy Donal Weles), and the new name is (Jimmy DWW), because it became clear that my name is similar to the name of the owner of the encyclopedia, and the public lock on the name was lifted. Thank you. (2C0F:FC89:45:E313:A4B3:24FF:FECF:6183 12:08, 19 March 2024 (UTC))

Username

Hi Kadı. I noticed that you recently renamed a user to en:User:千乇丨丂ㄒㄚ尺ㄖㄖ丂ㄒ乇尺. This seems problematic as it's completely untypeable for almost everyone, doesn’t translate meaningfully, and could confuse Chinese and Japanese readers due to the mix of CJK and Bopomofo characters. Could you clarify the rationale for going through with this awful rename? Or better, can this please be undone? Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:53, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Quinlan, I know some users which use other alphabets, but if this leads a problem in your Wiki, I can cancel my request. Did you inform the user about this situation? Kadı Message 11:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I have informed them. I don't know the ins and outs of the global renaming policy, but I think we can give them an opportunity to request a different username. However, if they don't make a new request or if their desired username also violates the policy, it seems like it would be best to restore the previous username.

@Daniel Quinlan, let's give opportunity to request a different username, if he/she is not answer, I will restore the previous username. Kadı Message 08:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Blocked

Let me explain what happened. My account was blocked on September 16. This account was created on September 15 (AhmadovT). My friend who lives in the same place as me creates articles about wrestlers. He told me to upload wrestler photos. I uploaded them. Then it was deleted. Later I explained to him not to cause me any problems. He opened this account for himself on September 15 (AhmadovT). We use the same IP. Because we live in the same place. This is the situation. I ask you to lower my block for 1 month. I have never violated the rules on Commons until now. Think about it. Since 2020, I have made 15,000 edits. I have uploaded thousands of files. I regret what happened. I assure you that I will be more careful from now on. Also, I will double-check every photo I upload. Please trust me. Freiheiten (talk) 14:14, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm re-analyzing the photos I uploaded one by one. Please delete this photo too, if you don't mind. Photo Freiheiten (talk) 14:28, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
