* Reason: DecidedI do not wish to use my real name. [[User:BossyemiAniruddhaArko123|BossyemiAniruddhaArko123]] ([[User talk:BossyemiAniruddhaArko123|talk]]) 1003:2558, 2226 MarchAugust 20202025 (UTC)

* Reason: I have been thinking about changing my username for quite some time, as I find my current one to be bland an uninteresting. It also does not reflect my current attitude, which has shifted from the narrow enthusiasm for video gaming to the broad optimism for free media in general. I believe the proposed username, '''FreeMediaKids!''', best captures my cheery and slightly lighthearted attitude in a popular way, and is perfectly in accordance with username policy.

:NOTE: I have decided to change the proposed name from '''FreeMedia!''' to '''FreeMediaKids!'''. This is the username that I had considered, as it is more distinctive and recognizable, but was hesitant because it seemed inconvenient for everyone to say it entirely instead of abbreviating it to '''FreeMedia!'''. Then again, I could say on my user page that anyone can call me that for the sake of their convenience. If the newer proposed change violates username policy either because it (unintentionally) implies a shared account or for any other reason, I will stick to simply '''FreeMedia!'''.

:{{ping|Gamingforfun365}} Hey, FreeMediaKids! and FreeMedia! both are fine as neither your account is shared nor it happens to be an actual company account. But I like to mention that not everybody share those view and there have been cases when people ask users to change their username as they look like company name or shared. So these usernames are ok as long as someone do not raise a concern. My advise would be to go with FreeMediaKid! or something else which adhere the [[WP:UPOL|username policy]]. &#8208;&#8208;[[User:1997kB|1997kB]]&nbsp;([[User_talk:1997kB|talk]]) 12:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

::Hmmm, a tough one. FreeMediaKid! follows the same intended spirit as FreeMediaKids!, but it does imply that I am a minor, which is no longer the case. Then again, the exclamation mark does obscure that, where it looks like a message appealing to kids who love free media (the intended message). Okay, I will agree to using FreeMediaKid!, because it follows the username policy and is still distinct and recognizable.

* Datestamp: 16:10, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

* Reason: Nice and easy username to remember, easier to type, and who wouldn’t want a username like this? I wanted [[User:3]] but that isn’t eligible for usurpation, so I would like to have this username which hasn’t been registered yet (somehow). Also, the username “61” is very important to me because of [[Minnesota State Highway 61]], and that’s where I go up to in the summer and it’s super fun. I will still refer to myself as PorkchopGMX but I will put a “<code><nowiki>Ping me with {{yo|61}}</nowiki></code>“ message in my sig. ''Everything is possible but nothing is real''...
