Revision as of 12:06, 25 November 2006

Please read all the instructions on this page. If you ignore the instructions and instead just copy the format of the last request on the page, your request may be denied for failure to follow instructions.
Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to do so will result in a rejected request.
  • You must use the template shown below in the gray box. If you do not do this, your request will be ignored. Don't forget to sign your name with four tildes, as indicated. If your username contains spaces, you must use an underscore ("_") in the template, as shown below. Do not add links to your username, just the text.
{{subst:Renameuser|Old_Username|New_Username|My Very Convincing Reason.}} ~~~~
  • Check this page periodically to see whether a bureaucrat has fulfilled your request or whether additional information is required. If the request has been fulfilled, read the "Once fulfilled" section for further instructions; of particular importance is the renaming of your userpages to reflect the name change.
  • Please note that renaming users puts a large load on the database. Please do not request a rename unless it is necessary. If you have only a few edits, see the alternatives above.
  • The link "change username" points to a restricted tool. Only Bureaucrats can access it. Users without a Bureaucrat access level will get an error message instead.
Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Requests to "usurp" an existing username should be made at Misplaced Pages:Changing username/Usurpations; straightforward requests may use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

Instructions
For help 'vanishing' from Misplaced Pages,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • Add your desired username after NEW=
    • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.


Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.
CautionDo not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.


Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

ばかじん2 → zenjiromitsubishi

I was blockd username .Because I want to make it a user name same as Japanese edition wikipedia, I hope that I want to change it to zenjiromitsubishi--203.140.73.83 07:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 Not done For security reasons, you have to request the rename from the account that you want renamed. If your account is currently blocked, place the {{unblock}} template on your talk page with a note pointing here, and an admin will unblock you so you can come and sign here with the account. Essjay (Talk) 07:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Frieda B.K. → Hibou

User:Hibou already exists. Unless you created this account, you will have to choose another name. Warofdreams talk 03:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I did create the account, but lost the password. -- hibou 07:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I can't rename you to that if you cannot demonstrate that you control that account. Is there an alternative name you would like? Warofdreams talk 02:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd take User:Hibou8 if it's impossible to change to User:Hibou. But other than having the password, is there any way to prove that the account is mine? Maybe looking at the IP address with which it was created or something? Thanks -- hibou 09:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, that isn't possible. I've performed the change to Hibou8. Essjay (Talk) 09:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Retsopllib -> Lakeecho_Lakeecho-Current_requests-2006-11-19T22:10:00.000Z">

Note: Please don't fulfill this request. This user is Matthvm, who has been blocked for sock-puppeteering. Retsopllib (formerly Bill poster) is the same person as Markhamman (formerly Torontoman). Whenever I ask him to stick to one account, he changes usernames and/or makes a new account. Sprocket 00:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)_Lakeecho"> _Lakeecho">
Note:Before requesting spockets request please do a checkuser to verify --Markhamman 11:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)_Lakeecho"> _Lakeecho">


 Not done If this requires a checkuser investigation, take it to WP:RFCU. Essjay (Talk) 05:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)_Lakeecho"> _Lakeecho">

Holocaust Research Team → HRT101


 Done Having seen the email Mets501 mentions, I see no reason not to. Essjay (Talk) 03:33, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Texas Drama King → T. Bartosz

  • Current name: User:Texas Drama King
  • Requested name: T. Bartosz
  • Reason: I'm starting to think that Texas Drama King is rather lame. I hope that's a legitimate reason. Also, I like T. Bartosz better because I am an amateur writer/actor and I want my pen/theatre name to be more commonly used. It stands for Teofil Bartlomiej which is my Polish name and I'm writing about the use of Polish immigrants as indentured servants on the large plantations during the Reconstruction Era when there was a shortage of workers in Central Texas (which is beside the point).

Template:No template Essjay (Talk) 05:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


Mitchell.palmer → Jttigerlilly

  • Current name: Mitchell.palmer
  • Requested name: Jttigerlilly
  • Reason: Privacy reasons.

Template:No template Essjay (Talk) 05:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Robertbcole → Bobby

  • Current name: Robertbcole (talk contribs)
  • Requested name: Bobby (change username)
  • Reason: I traded in my ip for a username about a month ago, and decided at the time that I wanted full disclosure. Now that I have editted for a while (over 500 in fact) I find that I desire a somewhat less obvious alias on WP. This is especially true given my involvement in Mediation and Advocacy. Any help would be appreciated. Bobby 17:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Clarification - I understand that the username in question is unavailable, but they have 0 contribs since creating the account in 2003. I know this might not be 100% kosher, but I'd definitely make good use of the name! Bobby

 Not done As the intro says, we don't do usurpation. You will have to choose another name. Warofdreams talk 02:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Robert_Pendray → Flyaway

 Not done The username Flyaway already exists. Please choose another name. Essjay (Talk) 03:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Texas Drama King → Teofil Bartlomiej

 Done I'm so sorry you feel imposed upon by being expected to follow the rules; had you followed instructions the first time, or indeed, the second time, there would have been no delay. You'll find things go much more smoothly if you follow instructions and respect the rules on Misplaced Pages. Essjay (Talk) 03:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Reynoldsrapture → Veracious Rey

  • Current name: Reynoldsrapture (talk contribs)
  • Requested name: Veracious Rey (change username)
  • Reason: First, I no longer feel comfortable using my last name, Reynolds, as a username. Over the past few months, I have become active within my community college as a member of the board of directors, and as such would prefer to remain somewhat anonomous on Wiki. Second, the new name is significant to me because veracious means "habitually telling the truth." I'm a straight shooter, and the name fits me well (so I'm told). Reynoldsrapture 04:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

George_J._Bendo → Dr._Submillimeter

 Done Essjay (Talk) 07:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Manuela_Battezzato → Manuela.B

 Done Essjay (Talk) 14:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Dorgan → Darkan

  • Requested name: Darkan (change username)
  • Reason: Dorgan hu called himself Dorgan at Hu wiki and wants to be called Doragn at Eng wiki. So I want to give that guy the name and change mine to Darkan. Dorgan 15:09, 24 November 2006 (GMT)


 Not done Unfortunately, the username Darkan already exists. Please choose another. Essjay (Talk) 14:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


TomJenson → Sangak3

  • Requested name: Sangak3 (change username)
  • Reason: My current active Username is Sangak. I have been writing under other Usernames during last years. Now I want to organize my works.

TomJenson 14:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Joe Dynue → Sangak1

Mensen → Sangak2

Mensen 19:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

 Done Essjay (Talk) 01:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Robert_Pendray → Flyaway1111

 Done Even though there are a few other users with usernames along the line of flyaway+number, I've taken into account that those are inactive, and the fact that the user's talk page indicates that this request may be part of the procedure from Right to Vanish. Redux 18:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Pbansal → Caprit

 Done Essjay (Talk) 01:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Mark_rossi → Mark_Rossi

  • Current name: Mark_rossi (talk contribs)
  • Requested name: Mark_Rossi (change username)
  • Reason: When I signed up I signed up with mark_rossi, since the system capitalised the first letter, I need to have the R capitalised too. I can not create a new account as it is too similiar. Thank you in advance. 13:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
