[1. To retain your current personal account name for your personal use, change the name of your personal account to something new and wonderful.](

1. To retain your current personal account name for your personal use, [change the name of your personal account](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-user-account-settings/changing-your-github-username) to something new and wonderful.

  • This line does not read correctly.
  • This line is in the section ## Keep your personal account and create a new organization manually which is where the user should give up his username by choosing another so that he can then go and claim the old name for his organization which is not personal.
  • this section is about retaining the information in the personal account whilst using the user's current github user name for the github organization rather than keeping the old user name for personal use, the implication is confusing.

So I propose the following text change

To retain your current personal account name for your personal use,

-->
To retain your current personal account for your personal use,
