If you claim to be someone who is well known - let's just randomly say asimo3089, we'll be asking you for proof that you're asimo3089. If you don't offer it, or otherwise refuse, you'll be told to stop- if you don't you'll be blocked temporarily, and this will continue until there is verification or the impersonation stops.

Now if you had a FANDOM account named "asimo3089" or anything rather close to it that didn't indicate that you weren't him, we would outright ask that you verify or be blocked. Most people who do this don't respond or bring odd reasoning why they can't, so they get blocked until they change their username. This also applies with people who take the profile pictures of wiki administrators, we'll block them until they change it.

There's no circumstance where you would be asking for verification. Only we do.

Our rules against impersonation exist to prevent defamation and other issues surrounding the integrity of the user in question.

You're not breaking any of these rules, so I'm not sure why you're upset about it.
