Current requests
Add new requests to the bottom of the page.Meithal → J.M. Tavernier
- Current name: Meithal (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Tavernier J.M. Tavernier (Tavernier change username)
- Reason: For avoid conflicts with single user (hope i wont need to ask the same thing on all the wikipédia, will I ?) Meithal 11:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Requesting it here only gets you renamed on this wiki, not on the others. It might be better for you to wait until Single Login if you want to merge all of your accounts. Angela . 11:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Au contraire; it would probably speed up the merge process if you've got all your accounts under the same name, with the same email address set in preferences; this allows the first pass to find them and associate them all. 164.11.204.56 08:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Drusisqo → jadakisssss
- Current name: Drusisqo (talk • contribs)

OCCAdmin → OCC01
It was suggested I rename: "Hello! Calling yourself admin is not a good idea as some editors could mistake you for an administrator. You can go to WP:CHU and request a change of username before you are blocked for possible impersonation. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC) I agree. Alternatively, if you really want to keep this username you should put a note on your user page clarifying that you are not a Misplaced Pages administrator. Misplaced Pages policy forbids usernames that imply administrative status on Misplaced Pages. (I'm sure you were unaware of this and didn't intend to mislead anyone.)--Srleffler 02:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)"
Please rename to "OCC01"

- Requested name: President_Rhapsody (change username)

StanVman → stanvman
- Current name: StanVman (talk • contribs)

Done Essjay (Talk) 03:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Open poppyseed → Open_sesame
- Current name: Open poppyseed (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Open_sesame (change username)
- Reason: First choice for name was open sesame, but that was taken, so I went to open poppyseed (which I consider a close relative of the sesame seed). Except I overlooked the underscore completely, so I wish to have my original preference w/underscore. -- Open poppyseed 00:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Not done The MediaWiki software does not recognize the underscore as a valid character for usernames; it is a part of URLs to denote a space, so the software does not regard it as anything more than a normal space. There is no difference between "Open sesame" and "Open_sesame"; both are considered the same username, so it is not possible to rename to that name, as it already exists. Essjay (Talk) 03:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Metal Maiden → Metal Lord
- Current name: Metal Maiden (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Metal Lord (change username)
- Reason: I like the name Metal Lord better than Metal Maiden, and I don't want people to think i'm a girl when i'm a boy, and Metal Maiden sounds like a girl name thanks. -- Metal 01:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Done Essjay (Talk) 03:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Srbrown → Wordcount3000
- Current name: Srbrown (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Wordcount3000 (change username)
- Reason: I have made only a few edits, but someone--I think I might know who--went online with my account and did some editing. This has associated the previous username with material I'd rather not be associated with. I hope this can be fixed, and also that I find the culprit and admonish them. Thank you. -- Srbrown 02:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Wait, someone used your account to make offensive edits, and so you want a username change? You realize that changing username moves all the edits made under the old name to the new name, so that everything in Special:Contributions/Srbrown will move to Special:Contributions/Wordcount3000. Is that what you're wanting to do? Essjay (Talk) 03:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know if the edits would count as "offensive," but they are to entries dealing with topics I prefer not to be associated with--not as per any username, but as per "srbrown" which is too similar to my actual name. I would rather have the edits completely disassociated from me at all, but I don't think that is possible. Is it? If not, I will settle for having the username changed. Thank you for your time.
Travisbuchanan → Yourfriendsam
- Current name: Travisbuchanan (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Yourfriendsam (change username)
- Reason: I do not like having my real name displayed on this site for everyone to see; please acknowledge and fulfill my request. -- 24.255.77.99 02:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Not done You must make your request while logged in as the username that is to be changed, for security purposes. Essjay (Talk) 03:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Deathrocker → Gold
- Current name: Deathrocker (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Gold (change username)
- Reason: I'm tired of being tied to just the Deathrock article, and no-longer have as much of an interest in its related articles. I'd like something new, and more independent please. -- Deathrocker 02:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Not done Username already exists. Essjay (Talk) 03:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't already exist, acording to this. - Deathrocker 05:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- It does according to this, which has been around since the beginning of Misplaced Pages, unlike the new user log, which doesn't record accounts created before the extension was written last year. It's confirmed definitively by the renameuser extension, which threw an error when I tried the rename; I can provide a screenshot if you're still skeptical. Essjay (Talk) 05:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Codyr345 → WikiCR
- Current name: Codyr345 (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: WikiCR (change username)
- Reason: I wish to not have a name with any relation to my real name. I would appreciate it if my privacy was acknowledged.-- Codyr345 02:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Done But, please note, your decision to copy someone else's request, rather than following instructions, almost caused another user to be renamed. In future, please be more careful to follow the instructions as set out. Essjay (Talk) 03:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Jamesoneal → James_ONeal
- Current name: Jamesoneal (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: James_ONeal (change username)
- Reason: When creating my account I did not realize that by adding an underscore to the username that it could produce a space within my username, also the auto formatting of my username during the signup process changed the capitalization of my username. I would like it to display properly including the formatting of the username and when my user page is accessed via my user-page links. Thanks, and sorry for the any troubles caused by this request.
