Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple/Archive52

Frédérick Duhautpas → Fred D.Hunter

 * Reason: Disguise real world name. Too much visibility on Google. Could you remove any traces of my former name if it is possible to you? Thanks in advance. Greetings.Frédérick Duhautpas (talk) 17:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ You've made a lot of edits, especially to talk pages, so it would be very long and tedious to change your name. WP:AWB might help though; you might be able to contact someone with it who can help you.  bibliomaniac 1  5  19:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Judging from the userpage, the username is promotional, so I have blocked it.  bibliomaniac 1  5  03:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Mr. Baby G → Baby G.

 * Reason: I wanted the name Baby G. when I signed up, but the sign-up thing said that the name was too similar to . -- Baby G ( talk to me ) ( see my edits ) 22:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Jackswagger → Jack Swagger
Jackswagger (talk) 00:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: 1. To read more like his regular name. 2. So that when people search for his name it will come up, they will use a space.  3. It's his legal name.
 * I reformatted this request. Original post can be found here. Useight (talk) 03:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * SoxBot VI (talk) 03:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * User Jackswagger has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Will that be ok with you? Kingturtle (talk) 13:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Remove underscore Andrew_pmk | Talk 23:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 23:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Are the accounts at eo, la, sco, test, and vi yours? If they aren't, they should be usurpable, but I'd like to see if they are owned by you.  bibliomaniac 1  5  00:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes they are, although I totally forgot they existed (hardly or never used them). Andrew_pmk | Talk 05:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ But check if the rename is fine. I got an SQL error when renaming you. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

JillStuart → Jill Stuart

 * Reason: I would like to make a space between the name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JillStuart (talk • contribs) 19:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Since your only contributions have been to make this request, it would be easier to register the new account.  Maxim (talk)  21:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless the software does not allow that due to the the closeness of the two names. Useight (talk) 21:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

!!!Chris!!! → Hanii Puppy

 * Reason: The main wikipedia is pretty much the only place left on the net where I still use !!!Chris!!! - even on other wikis, I use Hanii Puppy. I'd like my username on the wikipedia to reflect the pseudonym I use everywhere else. Simply google "Hanii Puppy" for other places where I use it as proof. Chris (talk) 15:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Akinaria → Cup of Tea

 * Reason: A recent error of judgement has raised the possibility of linking my real name to the online identity "Akinaria" - this worries me greatly. Wikipedia has "Akinaria" as my ID.  This ID could now be linked to my real name.  I therefore want to change it, to make that less likely.  I believe this is a fair request. Akinaria (talk) 20:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

SoccerFan → Squeaky II

 * Reason: I tried for squeaky and it was taken. SoccerFan (talk) 20:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 20:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a more "unique" name you could choose? I can very easily see someone thinking that "Squeaky" and "Squeaky II" are the same person. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:20, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think there will be too much of a problem with possible confusion User:Squeaky has 36 edits, with the latest being on August 13, 2006 (and only 4 in all of 2006). Seems doubtful that Squeaky would return. Useight (talk) 20:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I did take that into consideration, but it's still a common enough practice that anything named "II" is related to whatever "I" is (for example, see User:Giano II). I'm not putting my foot down or anything. Any 'crat is plenty welcome to perform the rename if they disagree; I'd just prefer to see a less "derivative" name. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What About "The New Squeaky"? SoccerFan (talk) 20:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * should be fine. PeterSymonds (talk)  20:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking at that page, there are some innapropriate usernames. Is that a violation? SoccerFan (talk) 20:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, not at all. Special:ListUsers is an exhaustive list of every user registered. It's used to check for similar usernames. :) PeterSymonds (talk)  20:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought Special:ListUsers couldn't display very old usernames? -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 22:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Belvoir15 → Zxcvb09
I now see that the user name I used can be seen when people view these edited remarks and I should have taken more time to choose this username. I use this user name as passwords and this could prove very serious for me. Belvoir15 (talk) 23:38, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

M.eisner → 524

 * Reason: My current user name matches actual personal information, and I presently regret this disclosure. If possible, can my "M.eisner" be censored from the user rename log? I understand the importance of transparency on Wikipedia, but to have it left there defeats the purpose of my request for privacy. At the very least, can the log be visible only to Admins and above?

Benito Sifaratti → Manuel Belgrano

 * Reason: I'm the user Belgrano at Wikipedia in spanish and Commons, and I want to use the same name around projects. However, there is already an active user with the name "Belgrano" in here, so I would settle for "Manuel Belgrano". There's very little room for others to confuse users, as we edit articles on different topics and both of us are't really very active users the community may come to notice: he has hardly made more than 75 edits in all the year, and my main working ground is the spanish wikipedia, I come here just for placing interwikis and other coordination of works with my main work there. Besides, we don't use the name Belgrano for the same reason: in my case it's for Manuel Belgrano, a procer from Argentina's war of independence, while this other user's name refer to the ARA General Belgrano navy crusier.

To check that I'm really that user from wikipedia in spanish, I have made that same statement with my user page in such wikipedia, logged in with that account. It's here and it appears at the end of the page Benito Sifaratti (talk) 19:17, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
