As a user with different names on different language Wikipedias, I only hope if somebody changes my name they let me know... (I was *Haruo* first, at eo: and then en:, and I still use that on most of them, but in Swahili I'm *Lilendi* (because that's what I call myself in Swahili) and in ja: I'm *Rosharuo* (because it said Haruo was already taken) and in a couple of languages I'm *Haluo* (in haw: Hāluo) and in non-NW American Indigenous Wikipedias I tend to be *dzidzelalic* (Lushootseed for "Seattle (place)", as opposed to *si?ał* = "Seattle (tribal leader)"). I haven't signed onto the he: Wikipedia yet, but if I do I'll probably want to be *Afar.* Oh well, I keep 'em all straight in some dark recess of my brain..*.* Haruo
