In such case why did you uncontested and support the move Balraj to Kandiah Balasegaran ?

I'm sorry to see that moves to real names carried out by others of the likes of Kanatonian is supported by you obi but not me ! Cossde (talk) 07:03, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was over four year's ago when I was a new user and hadn't even heard of WP:COMMONNAME. Our many recent tête-à-têtes have taught me how we should name articles.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 14:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then may I educate you further by asking to read this [Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Pseudonyms.2C_stage_names_and_common_names]. Cossde (talk) 17:35, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have been educated.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:11, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
