Bonafide.hustla → Certified.Gangsta

 * Current name: Bonafide.hustla
 * Requested name: Certified.Gangsta
 * Reason: I have received mocks and ridicules about my username from some hostile users. I would prefer to adopt a new name to avoid such harassments from happening again. Thanks for your time.--Bonafide.hustla 07:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Bureaucrat: 1667 edits dating back to 12 February 2006. Target username has not been taken. --Durin 17:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to rename you, but want to check that you are happy with your proposed username - I suspect that it may receive the same attention that has caused you problems in the past. Warofdreams talk 02:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. But I guess I'll give myself a chance to make the change.--Bonafide.hustla 02:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

TVPR → Right to vanish

 * Current name: TVPR
 * Requested name: Right to vanish
 * Reason: I do not wish for my current name, which I am strongly associated with elsewhere, to remain active as I cease using WP. Thank you. TVPR 16:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Right to vanish" is a concept as described at Right to vanish. Per Username, I don't think it's appropriate to rename your account to that concept name. I recommend you pick another name. --Durin 17:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case I'd like "Floccinaucinihilipilification".--TVPR 17:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * HAHAHAHAHH! (and YES that IS a real word!) --Durin 17:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Super! Thank you very much.--TVPR 17:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it's a funny name. I just can't change it. I'm not a bureaucrat; just helping out here. --Durin 18:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, well, thanks anyway =)--TVPR 19:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear; I don't mean to imply a bureaucrat can't change it. Just stating that I can't. A bureaucrat may decide to change it. --Durin 01:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Durin - "Right to vanish" is not an appropriate username and User:Floccinaucinihilipilification is already taken(!) Is there another name you would like? Warofdreams talk 02:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Would Anonymous3190 be ok? If you are leaving, it doesn't really matter which name you choose. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 09:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * For that sake, sure. I was thinking in the unlikely event I came back, but anon etc. is fine.
 * ✅ (as User:Anonymous3190). Warofdreams talk 15:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Cory K → Bellito

 * Current name: Cory K
 * Requested name: Bellito
 * Reason: This username is reflective of nothing and not in a different language. I prefer something in another language (my proposed new one is in Portuguese and Italian.) I'm unsatisfied with it, and it's boring. PLUS this is also my username on Club Penguin. Cory K 21:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Michael Jay Williams → The Pharmacist

 * Current name: Michael Jay Williams

 * Could I have Heligoland please. Former area of the British Shipping Forecast which I've always liked the sound of. AA Milne 13:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Jim Bart → Texas Drama King

 * Current name: Jim Bart
 * Requested name: Texas Drama King
 * Reason: I was thinking of going by the name Jim when I got it b/c I was tired of what i was being called then. I now see that Jim just does not sound good on me, b/c everytime I hear it I think of Jim from The Office. So I'd much like to change to Texas Drama King. Thank you.

 * ✅. Warofdreams talk 00:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Jsloan31 → JCheng

 * Current name: Jsloan31
 * Requested name: JCheng
 * Reason: I'd like to use an abbreviation of my actual name, instead of some name I came up with for an online game a few years back; it seems a bit immature to be using it in a non-game situation. I've checked that JCheng has not been taken. Thank you. Jsloan31 12:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * ✅ Redux 23:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

David.regev → David Regev

 * Current name: David.regev
 * Requested name: David Regev
 * Reason: When I created the account, I did not realise that the first letter would be capitalised, and I also did not realise that spaces were allowed. Now my username looks horribly asymmetric, and I would like it to look more formal, i.e., my normal full name. In addition, I tried creating a new account, but I was told it was too similar to another account (my current one). I would gladly use this option if it were available to me. Thank you. David Regev 13:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * ❌ . You have very few edits and can simply create a new account. Warofdreams talk 00:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Given the new information that you cannot create this new account, I have ✅ your rename. Warofdreams talk 17:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Bhouston → Deodar

 * Current name: Bhouston
 * Previously requested name: Sequoia (the name of a genus of tree, see Sequoia)
 * Requested name: Deodar
 * Reason: Privacy and security. I would rather use a pseudonym rather than my real name.  Thank you. Ben 04:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * User:Sequoia already exists. Unless you created this account, you will have to choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 00:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I see now. Sorry about that.  How about "Deodar", another large tree native to India?  --Ben 02:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * ✅. Warofdreams talk 17:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Nathan_w_cheng → Nat32

 * Current name: Nathan_w_cheng
 * Requested name: Nat32
 * Reason: Current username is my full name and I need more privacy. If possible, I would also greatly appreciate if you could change all links to my user page to use "Nat32" as the display text instead of variations of my real name (like my first and last name without the middle initial). Thank you. NatC31 07:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * While we do have a User:Nat33, they have no edits, so I don't think your requested name is likely to cause confusion. As such, I have ✅ your rename. Warofdreams talk 23:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Does the fact that my old user page and references to it still exist mean that I need to wait for the database to be updated, or that I need to manually rename the page and manually change all references to reference the new page? NatC31 04:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Karl Kol → Carlo Colussi

 * Current name: Karl Kol
 * Requested name: Carlo Colussi
 * Reason: I am not used at all with my current username and finally, in this precise case, I hate anonymity. Each time I propose to a friend to look at my contributions I forget to tell him I've used a pseudonym. So I prefer to have my real name. Thank you. Karl Kol 11:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * After some thought, I've concluded that this probably isn't a potentially inflammatory username, so I've ✅ the change. Warofdreams talk 02:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. :-) I belong to so called "irregular" Freemasons since we initiate women. "Irregular" is somewhat discriminating and wrong used because you are "regular" if you are initiated by a regular established Lodge and your Grand Lodge is regular if it recieved a charter. (etc. etc.) This is why I prefer the term "liberal". --Liberal Freemason (talk) 02:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: Jessica_simpson121
 * Requested name: generation_talk123

I just created the account, and I have no edits or history (besides this one obviously), so renaming the account shouldn't load the servers too bad.

 * I don't mind doing the change, but you should know, it isn't possible to have a lowercase first letter in a username; the system will automatically capitalize it. Do you want to stay with John smith (nom de guerre) or is there another capitalization scheme you'd prefer? Essjay   ( Talk )  03:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, that's a pity.Then John Smith (nom de guerre) will be easier for my fingers to get used to, since it's the normal way of adressing people :). I suspected that was the reason but when I came to this page I just saw a guy further up the page who claimed he had the user name "nhirst", but I was guessing it was just his typo since nobody else had a first minuscule letter.

 * Current name: Terrillwhite (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Sogospelman (change username)
 * Reason: For some reason, when I first joined Wikipedia, I thought that it would be a great idea to use my real name for my username. Well, I see what a completely stupid mistake that was now and I'd like to have it changed for that reason. T. White 08:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

SKELETOR666 → Skeletor2112

 * Current name: SKELETOR666 (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Skeletor2112 (change username)
 * Reason: My current name may be considered offensive to religious people, and per Username guidlines, I'd like to change it to somthing non-threatening, and that has nothing to do with religion. I am getting into this whole Wiki thing, and when I put articles up for review, I feel that my current username may bring unwanted, and possibly even unconscious bias from other editors and peers. Add to that the fact that an all-caps username makes me look illiterate... ;) I'd love to usurp the unused name User:Skeletor, but that might be down the road when policy allows.

Mantkiewicz → MAntkiewicz

 * Current name: Mantkiewicz (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: MAntkiewicz (change username)
 * Reason: In response to Redux: I did try creating 'MAntkiewicz' but I could not do it because it was 'too similar to already existing Mantkiewicz'. That's why I ask for the rename. Besides I have already created a new page.If you don't want to rename it, I'll live with that. But to me Mantkiewicz looks very ugly since Antkiewicz is my last name.Thanks for understanding in advance. Mantkiewicz 14:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: NoRCaLD503 (talk • contribs)

 * Reason: I do not want my AIM screenname to be used as my Wikipedia edit name to prevent possible harassment via AIM, moreover, my old username is used for numerous other internet projects; for privacy reasons I do not want my work on Wiki to be traced to my work on other projects; also I request to vanish per my right to vanish.

 * That's fine. I'm not requesting a username change to delete the content on my user talk page. My request is for privacy reasons alone. I feel that it was a bad idea to use a username on Wiki that could lead to others being able to contact me, discover my actual name, or harass me via AIM (which has happened in the past). I was unaware of the ability to change my user name until our spat which led me to the Wiki Help Page and the information on user name changes. (I had originally been looking for a way to delete my account altogether in order to quit contributing to Wikipedia, but I am content to settle for a user name change). NoRCaLD503 07:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * For clarification, I want the user data (including the user talk page comments) moved to the new account and the old account name purged. I will then re-create the old account to ensure that no one else can use it (per the instructions above). Thank you in advance for your help with this privacy request.

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).

 * Current name: Tyheal (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: YK Times (change username)
 * Reason: I have a few reasons for changing my usename. One is privacy, as I was dumb enough to use a personally identifiable username. Another is aesthetics (ok, its not that good of a reason, but still); I want a username that has a certain ring to it, and I think this one does. As well, I want to become more active in reverting vandalism that has been caused by people I know editing in Wikipedia w/o account (IP address only), but I can't now because they can tell who I am by my usename.

 * Current name: Stedders (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: JDXXUR (change username)
 * Reason: I have discovered that my user page is on the first result page of google, which is not satisfactory to me, since I don't expect every action I make on Wikipedia to be able to be seen by typing my nickname on google. I should never have used my nickname, and really do hope that something can be done to redeem the situation. JDXXUR makes for a less conspicuous name, which is what i was going for Stedders 04:29, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * To see Stedders' previous contributions, click here. Notice the blanking of George W. Bush page as well as the vandalizing of the Tom Cruise page. Clicking on a hyperlink to verify this claim cannot be that hard, can it?
