@Wallyfromdilbert: anyone know how to delete my wikipedia account? Fajkfnjsak (talk) 23:15, 22 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Wallyfromdilbert: Are you going to answer Wally? Fajkfnjsak (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC) @Wallyfromdilbert: If only you had stopped edit warring. I guess someone will have to block him too.Reply

July 2019 edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 00:24, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • To answer your question above, Wikipedia accounts cannot be deleted.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:24, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the answer. Any way the account could be "deleted" in any way? Edits erased, history erased? etc? any form of deletion?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username
This links above says you can change your username.
Can you change Fajkfnjsak to Make47brEad279. Thanks. @Bbb23:

Fajkfnjsak yes! But after you get unblocked you can change your username. I wonder if you have realised that you are indefinitely blocked from Wikipedia. Do you realise that?--SharabSalam (talk) 00:45, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Fajkfnjsak since you are new here. This is an advice because you might not know that but firstly don't create a new account while you are blocked or even after you get unblocked. Secondly, read this WP:Guide to appealing blocks and appeal for unblocking. I don't think you are disruptive. Try to admit and believe that what you did was wrong and that you will not do it again. Make sure you don't criticise the blocking decision or the admin. At least now.-SharabSalam (talk) 00:33, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey @SharabSalam: thanks for advice, but as you can see above I was already trying to delete this account long before the block but Wally would not tell me how. I guess he was busy edit warring?
Btw, can you help me with the username change? or any form of deletion? Fajkfnjsak (talk) 00:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

You can easily change your username. It's so easy. You just need to make a request and an admin will change your username. There is no way you can delete your account. Now you are blocked. You can't change your username while you are indefinitely blocked. You need first to appeal for unblock.--SharabSalam (talk) 00:55, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Right, since I can't delete it, I'm just trying to do whatever is next best thing, change username, delete whatever part of the account I can (if any part - edits etc), then ditch the site (not get unblocked). This is why I was asking how to delete account before block. Fajkfnjsak (talk) 01:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oh I see. So you don't want to edit here anymore. You can't delete the account. You would probably get exposed if you used another account or IP to edit. I suggest you appeal for unblock first then announce that you are going to retire by writing this at the top of your talk page or userpage {{Retired}}. Bbb23 is it okay to unblock Fajkfnjsak? According to Fajkfnjsak he/she is going to leave the site.--SharabSalam (talk) 01:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
What does retiring do? As opposed to just changing username, deleting what I can (if anything), and ditching site? Fajkfnjsak (talk) 01:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
You can't erase your edits, but some of them will probably be undone/changed by other users over time if that's what you're after.
Also: retiring doesn't do anything, it just lets everyone know you're no longer active on Wikipedia.--Ermenrich (talk) 19:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
