 * Current name: ·ARTE· (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: ARTE (change username)
 * Reason: I am using the nick "ARTE" on different projects (see links on my user page), but I was unable to register that name on the English Wikipedia since there is already a user with the similar name "Arte". Policy says that it's not possible to use names that can be confused with other contributors, but user "Arte" is not a contributor. He registered over 1 year ago but never made an edit since then. Using the name "ARTE" would be also less confusing for users of the English Wikipedia who are looking for me on other projects and vice-versa. So may I please have my name changed to "ARTE"? I will survive a negative answer... ·ARTE· 11:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

no template <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  02:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't understand - the text is the same as from the template, so why the objection?
 * ✅ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angela (talk • contribs) 11:50, December 5, 2006 (UTC)


 * Because users have a long history of ignoring the instructions and just doing whatever they want; we implemented the tempalte to make doing this job a little easier on us, and it's only fair to expect that users will use it. The text is indeed the same, but the links aren't there, making it take about four times as long to do which adds up when you do 20 at a time; I frequently spend an hour here doing nothing but renames, and I don't have four hours a day to offer because users can't be bothered to use the template. My experience with wiki-processes like this is that if you don't demand compliance, you'll get precisely none, so I expect that if they want the courtesy of a bureaucrat performing the username, they'll show the courtesy of using the template as asked. <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  03:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

✅ Renaming only changes the name of your account and reattributes edits in the history of pages; it does not move your userpages or change existing signatures on pages.

Want-Angus → Angus

 * Current name: Angus (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Angus (change username)
 * Reason: This is not an usual request as I'm not the requester and it deals with a user from another language wiki. Basically, es:User:Angus (which is a long time user, admin and crat on es:) created en:User:angus but never used it, so it's an inactive account with 0 edits and won't ever be used again. So, he would like to request en:user:angus to be renamed to something different so he can get the username angus back. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I talked with Essjay about the special circumstances and he said go ahead and request here. Now, for security reasons, I'm asking him to create a new account and confirm (on es: as es:User:angus) the new username he's creating. After he does so, we'll come back and post the details here, so 1. en:user:angus can be moved, 2. the new en: username can be renamed to angus. So please don't close prematurely this request. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't get it. If Angus was registered by you, why can't you login using that id? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:04, 3 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.

 * 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.

Although I may not be skilled in them, I have a deep respect for languages and wish to use them properly always.

 * Current name: LordSuryaofShropshire (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: LordSimonofShropshire (change username)
 * Reason: As a Wikipedian with quite a fair number of edits and a reasonable impact on several different topics, most notably those related to Hinduism and India, also Indian languages, also some legal topics like Sandra Day O'Connor and the FOIA, my name is well-known to some and readily Google-able... unfortunately, I no longer wish to edit Wikipedia pages and Surya is my real name... I wish to 'vanish' completely, as it were, and therefore all references to names by which I am actually known in the meatworld should be removed to preserve my anonymity. I have already arranged for Bureaucrats to delete as much information as possible (for instance, from my userpage), but I would greatly appreciate a name change. By the way, if the name change does indeed get approved, I would immediately request that an administrator block the LordSuryaofShropshire account from ever being used again. Thanks for your consideration. P.S. Nichalp is someone with whom I worked some time back and who has aided my in my vanishing process, so if a bureacrat or administrator not familiar with my case would like more information, he may possibly be of some help.

Rctxtreme → anger2headshot

 * Current name: Rctxtreme (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: anger2headshot (change username)
 * Reason: I have decided to change my name, mainly due to the fact that others at school are insulting me by calling me "rctDxtreme" (rollercoaster tycoon DEMO extreme). Sure, you may tell me it's no problem, just ignore it, but I don't take any joke too well. This new name is being applied to other places slowly as well so I might as well do so here as well. Thanks if you can change my name. -- rctxtreme 05:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Marialadouce → Arria_Belli

 * Current name: Marialadouce (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Arria_Belli (change username)
 * Reason: My current username is the one I've used for years and years on multiple e-mail accounts and includes my real first name. I've finally realised that it's not the smartest idea to use the same ID everywhere, and would therefore like to change it for privacy reasons. It is way too googlable by now, which makes me antsy. I changed my fr:wp username to Arria Belli yesterday. I thank you in advance for your time. -- Marialadouce | parlami 09:57, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: Keithbentrup (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Keith_Bentrup (change username)
 * Reason: I just signed up and didn't realize spaces were allowed. (I want a space, not an underscore.) I tried new name alternative, but it's too similar. I want family and friends to find me by searching for my last name because it's uncommon, and I give it for reference often. Thank you.-- Keithbentrup 19:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Keithbentrup

Seadog.M.S → Arjun01

 * Current name: Seadog.M.S (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Arjun01 (change username)
 * Reason: Well Arjun is my name, and basically here on Wikipedia. Most of the WP:HINDU members call me by this name and so do countless others. This name will also make it easier for those trying to contact me. Also MS is a disorder of the Brain and I don't want people thinking that I am making fun of others. (Religious Reasons also). Thank you no matter what the decision is. -- &mdash; Seadog_MS  20:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: Sethwilson (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: Seth_Wilson (change username)
 * Reason: I did not realize Wikipedia permitted spaces in usernames and automatically capitalized the first letter of any username. I tried to create a new username with the space and proper capitalization but was prevented because it was too similar to the existing name I had just created.  I would like any contributions I make to be associated with a username that is properly formatted.  Thanks! -- Sethwilson 23:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Current name: Onur_h (talk • contribs)
 * Requested name: runningfridgesrule (change username)
 * Reason: Firstly, my old username reveals too much of my identity, and now I realise how dangerous this is for someone my age. There's also the fact that some of the immature bullies at my school have started searching for victims' names on Google and already one of them has had to undergo so much embarrassment and bullying. I searched for my name on Google, and the first link I found was to my user page. Sure, you may tell me that if they do end up finding me, that I should ignore it, but I don't take any joke too well. So please, change my username! -- Onur 15:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
