Golden Wattle
Please change AYArktos to Golden Wattle. Thank you. Arktos talk 23:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Usename exists. Please go through the above instructions to choose another username. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  14:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It didn't exist when I made the request - please check log. It has had no edits.  Is it possible to appropriate the name under the circumstances?--Arktos talk 21:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No, current policies do not allow this I'm afraid. There is a proposed policy change here: Usurpation, but unless and until it comes into force, we can't usurp the username. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  14:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It has been done before although the proposed policy had not been formally adopted - for example User:Rebecca . I am not willing entirely to suspend good faith as to why the username was created after my request to change had been logged.  I note at Commons, where incidentally my user name has been changed, they apply the policy differently - see Changing username/Archive1.  My request would meet all elements of the proposed policy.  That is I am an established user, there are no edits from the account at all.  They have not specified a valid email address .  Moreover, it is quite possible that the account was created in bad faith - my change was logged 23.13 on 31 August UTC, the new account created 18:29, 1 September 2006 (AEST which I think = 8:29, 1 September 2006) - after my request, also after say this personal attack  by a user who is subject to an ongoing RFC with recent behaviour documented on the RFC talk page.
 * The proposed policy has been under discussion for many many months. When, as asked by others on the talk page, will its status change?  What is holding it up?


 * In the mean time can my user name please be changed to the less satisfactory Acacia pycnantha.  I had looked before at the more straight forward names of Wattle, Acacia, Mimosa - all were taken.--Arktos talk 00:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Current name: AYArktos
 * Requested name: Golden Wattle
 * or alternate request: Acacia pycnantha


 * Reason: Increased anonymity. This request was put in many hours before a user created that account. The account has not been used for editing.  This request would still be in line with the proposed policy on Usurpation. If it really can't be done (and I actually think it could - it is technically possible and has been done for other users ) then can I have the scientific name. Thank you. Arktos talk 23:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * ✅ Changed to Golden Wattle, which (per the new user log) was clearly created after you made this request. Either this is your error or someone is being a jerk; no matter. &mdash; Dan | talk 02:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Many many thanks - no it wasn't me; I think the latter--Arktos talk 02:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Eddie willers
Please change Goo Goo G'joob to Eddie willers. Thank you. The Walrus 17:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Your request can be carried out, but I'm uncertain if you would like "Eddie willers" or "Eddie Willers" (capital "W" or lowercase "w", in case it was a typo). Could you clarify?  Also, you might want to consider that the name you are using in your signature is also available.  Redux 17:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I would prefer "Eddie Willers", but it seems that it is already in use. However, if that person has not made any edits, or something like that, I would like that username. The Walrus 17:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Humm, yes, we already have a User:Eddie Willers. And to complicate matters further, there's also a User:Eddie.willers.  Perhaps you could select another username, one that would be sufficiently distinctive, so as to prevent cases of mistaken identity?  You see, if usernames are too similar, it can get confusing to others and cause misunderstandings.  Thanks,  Redux 18:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that the username "Mr. Eddie Willers" is not being used, so I would like to change my username to that, please. Thank you. 72.140.192.4 18:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If you are Goo Goo G'joob, you need to post here while logged onto your account. Rename requests posted via IP addresses cannot be granted for security reasons.  Thanks,  Redux 18:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. That was me who had made that post. Thank you. The Walrus 18:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe that "Mr. Eddie Willers" suffers from the same problem as the previous selections: it is too close to existing accounts, and we must steer clear of possible misunderstandings due to username similarities. Perhaps you could consider a more "radical" variation of your original selection, something that would be distinctive enough to prevent mistaken identity incidents in the future. Thanks, Redux 23:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Please change Goo Goo G'joob to Taggart Transcontinental. Thank you.The Walrus 23:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could consider something else, in order to prevent cases of mistaken identity?  Thanks,  Redux 23:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd rather stick with SCW, but if I must... I suppose Sam Weber would be suitable. Thank you.--Samweber 00:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Your Natalieduerinckx account seems to have quite a few more edits than the @yahoo account -- therefore I suggest you simply discontinue use of the @yahoo account.

Kubigula

 * Current name: Qball6
 * Requested name: Kubigula
 * Reason: I just really don't like the name. I picked it because "Qball" was already taken, and so I just added a number.  However, I have steadily come to dislike the name - it feels really impersonal to use another name with a number tacked on. Frankly, I didn't expect to stick around Wikipedia, so I didn't give it much thought initially.  However, I surprised myself because I really enjoy working on the project.  I know my reason is a bit lame, but it has been bothering me.  If my reason doesn't justify the added stress on the WikiServer, I would understand.  Thank you for your consideration.

Doremifasolatido → Nodoremi

 * Current name: Doremifasolatido
 * Requested name: Nodoremi
 * Reason: The name would be better for someone who is devoted to music and singing. Given the unpopularity of Holocaust denial issues and the discomfort which it apparently causes, it seems inappropriate for me to have connected this iconic solfege to Holocaust discussions and edits. Thank you. Doremifasolatido 04:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think that having "sockpuppet" in your username is a good idea, if it's even permissible (even for good-faith contributors). How about coming up with a variant on "Flameviper" - Flamecobra, Flamepython, Stormviper... My alternate account is "Friendly Porpoise".

 * Current name: HolyRomanEmperor

 * Reason: I don't like my current name. I've already been told that it beams with the "holyness" and "imperial" part in the face of other users - and that's not me. I don't want people to think that I am an egoist. Thank you. HolyRomanEmperor 16:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Well - would it be a problem if I insist? I really like that name - and I'm actually an experienced user with over 7,000 edits, numerious articles written, etc. I don't think that much confusion would be present. Perhaps "!Equilibrium!"? Perhaps You could suggest? --HolyRomanEmperor 13:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As for suggestions, since equilibrium is a common word, I wouldn't see any problem with using it as part of a username, provided it is a little more distinct from the existing user. Perhaps Equilibrium followed or preceded by another word?  As you say, you are an experienced user, so this could create problems for the less established user who may be confused with you.

As such, it is improper to name yourself after religious figures, as you are not Bodhidharma.Bodhidhamma 00:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Dbiv → Fys

 * Current name: Dbiv
 * Requested name: Fys
 * Reason: I was thinking about this before the unfortunate business of the recent ArbCom case, because I want to put a bit of distance between my online identity and my real one. (Another editor threatened dire electoral consequences in my bid for re-election, and although they were not borne out, it set a hare running). I have checked any possible confusion with the new username and did not find any. I have not forgotten about this and should the name change happen I will put a note on the administrators' noticeboard. Due to my large editcount I know the change will have to wait until the server load is low. David | Talk 09:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Andreas08 → Mgb1719
Current name: Andreas08

Requested name: Mgb1719

Reason: I made an account with my name then, i decided not to use it because of my name, so i changed it and made edits but i was still loged in with my old account and not the one with less personal information. Thank You


 * From what you wrote, I understand that you already have another account from which you are editing, and that would mean that you want this account renamed because it gives away too much about you, is that right? Looking at it, I don't see how this would be too revealing of anything, especially since it has an extremely short contribution history.  I would say that it would suffice for you to just have the account's user page redirect to the userpage of your active account, or maybe ask an Administrator to have it blocked indefinitely.  If you really want an account named "Mgb1719", you could just create that account and start editing from there.  But consider that a) If you already have another account, consider using it instead of creating new ones, so that you can establish a fix identity for yourself on Wikipedia; b) Notice that there are already many users with usernames that read those three letters followed by a number, which can cause confusion for other users.  A unique username would be better.  If you are indeed concerned about the name "Andreas08", perhaps you could explain it better, so that we can determine if a rename would indeed be essential.  Thanks,  Redux 17:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: Andres lopez
 * Requested name: Andy Rosenthal
 * Reason: I thought that since my name is rather common in my country, choosing it for wikipedia would allow me to keep my privacy. However, I recently moved to another country where it is not as coommon. By edits done on pages in which I forgot to sign on, an IP address appearead that can be routed to the place where I live, and easily linked to myself.

 * Strange! I do not recall ever registering under Brendel. Yet I you state there is a User:Brendel who, according to my research has no contributions and whose talks as well as userpage redirects to me. I tried logging in as Brendel, but was told that there is no e-mail address on file for that user. Could me moving my userpage have caused this? I really doubt there is a user Brendel out there w/o user page, talk page or contribs. Look at the history of User talk:Brendel. I do have an alternative, Brendelsignature, but is there anyway for me to check whether or not I am User:Brendel already?  Signature brendel  21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it wouldn't have been moving your userpage. Chances are, somebody else created the account. As it has no e-mail address, and your password didn't work, there's no other way of telling. Would you like a name change to User:Brendelsignature? Warofdreams talk 04:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Bobbybroom → Syd Stevens

 * Current name: Bobbybroom
 * Requested name: Syd Stevens
 * Reason: I have begun developing an autobiographical page. As I further develop this page I will be certain to conform to the NPOV policy, including adding citations in support of any statements which may seem to challenge that policy. I would however, like to change my username to a pseudonym in order to keep my anonymity in the future.
 * Further explanation/realization: I just read the advise about not creating autobiographical articles. Oops! I wish I'd seen this before I got started. At this point I guess I could reduce the article to its bare minimum and wait for someone to fill it in, or continue to revise it and try to stay neutral, doing my best to include only supportable data. It's your call.
 * Probably best to propose changes on the article's talk page. Would you still like to change your name? Warofdreams talk 03:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply: Will do. Yes, I would still like the name change.

soccer-europe.com → DirkPS
Thank you. Soccer-europe.com 18:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Current name: soccer-europe.com
 * Requested name: DirkPS
 * Reason: The old name was used to advertise my website which is against wikipedia policies so I wish to remain annoymous.
 * If you want to be completely anonymous, you can simply log out and edit under an IP address. -- Gray  Porpoise Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 21:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I would still like my username changed. People searching for my site are directed here because of the username. Editing under an IP address doesn't solve that problem.

PastFinder → RhymeNotStutter

 * Current name: PastFinder
 * Requested name: RhymeNotStutter

RichBerry → LittleOldMe

 * Current name: RichBerry
 * Requested name: LittleOldMe
 * Reason: As you can see, I have attempted moving my name. This has sort of worked, but I now have two user names (because I created a new one). I did not know that this user name change request was available (and I did not think to ask). So, would it be possible to move all my old logs to LittleOldMe and remove my old account. I wanted more privacy than my old name allowed.

 * Current name: Ridethefire3211
 * Requested name: WarEagleTH
 * Reason: I like to spend my time making relevant and helpful edits to Wikipedia, and I don't like carrying around a username I made in 10th grade; I'd rather have something more applicable to the present, and a bit more mature. Thank you. Ridethefire3211 16:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiTruth → ColbeagleTheEagle

 * Current name: WikiTruth
 * Requested name: ColbeagleTheEagle
 * Reason: I made this username several weeks before the Wikitruth saga, but it appears I have been affiliated with them. I am not, though I was banned previously because of my name alone. As such, I would like my name to be changed as to avoid being banned again, as well as to follow the advice of moderators. Thank you. WikiTruth 23:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * ✅. Warofdreams talk 02:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

ΚέκρωΨ → ΜΑΝΗ

 * Current name: ΚέκρωΨ
 * Requested name: MANH
 * Reason: I was blocked for having a username in Greek script, and my request to Latinise it to Kékrōps was rejected by one administrator and ignored by the rest. The administrator who rejected the Latin version did so on the basis of the existence of diacritics, even though Username does not explicitly proscribe them. Is there an official WP policy on the issue? Thank you.ΚέκρωΨ 07:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally, I see no problem with these diacritics, as they are found in common character sets. Would you like to be User:Kékrōps? Warofdreams talk 02:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would. Thank you kindly.--ΚέκρωΨ 05:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

But I have just tried to create a new account using my requested username, Olivier Jaquemet, and I get the following error The name "Olivier Jaquemet" is too similar to the existing account "OlivierJaquemet". Please choose another name.. Do I have to remove this section from this page to be able to use the new username ? --OlivierJaquemet 18:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Davros77 → Dyamantese

 * Current name: Davros77
 * Requested name: Dyamantese
