Halt3862 → ChMan777001

 * Reason: current login contains real name. Halt3862 (talk) 15:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 15:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅  bibliomaniac 1  5  01:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Razorfish1 → Kll2200

 * Reason: Old name was a conflict of interest to edits I made to the Avenue A Razorfish page Razorfish1 (talk) 16:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Kajetan Wandowicz → Nbvjou
Kajetan Wandowicz (talk) 23:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: I decided I wanted to have a username different from my real name.

 * ✅ — Rlevse • Talk  • 00:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Aaronallen → Huntsman

 * Reason: I no longer wish to use my real name as my username due to privacy and security issues. Aαron 11:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This username was recently created on de: and has a few edits. Is it you? If so, please log in to de: and leave a note on your talk page saying it is you. Then come back here and leave a diff so we can see. Thanks. Alternately, you'll need to choose a different name. --Dweller (talk) 11:25, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No, unfortunately that isn't me. Can I request the username 'Stryker'? Aαron 21:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a Stryker on pl: who made 1 edit in 2006. Would you be happy if you didn't have a completely unified login - you can always approach the pl: Crats and ask to usurp that username. --Dweller (talk) 11:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ I've performed an usurp to the username Stryker. There are a gaggle of other wikis with the same username, but they should be usurpable.  bibliomaniac 1  5  04:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Mvcorks → Mvc

 * Reason: I would prefer a username less immediately identifiable as my real name. I have just created a unified login (merging this account with accounts on commons, ES, and FR) and will request new usernames on those other wikis if this is accepted. mvc (talk) 22:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 22:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you Mvc on es.wiki?  bibliomaniac 1  5  04:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No, my username on commons, fr.wiki, and es.wiki is Mvcorks. Given that the account Mvc on es.wiki seems dormant, is it possible to at least rename my en.wiki account? mvc (talk) 13:11, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that it would be better for you to try to usurp the es.wiki account first before renaming here to avoid any conflict.  bibliomaniac 1  5  23:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll try that. Thanks for your advice. I've made a request (which includes a link to this discussion for reference). mvc (talk) 16:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that was fast! The es.wiki bureaucrats have just usurped the account es:User:Mvc for me. Is it possible to rename my account on en.wiki now, or do I have to issue requests to usurp the accounts on nl.wiki (one edit last year) and ru.wiki (inactive since 2004) as well first? (Although that would be difficult, as I don't happen to speak those languages...) mvc (talk) 16:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅  bibliomaniac 1  5  23:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

YowuzaZXWolfie → Yowuza

 * Reason: YowuzaZXWolfie is rather long and cumbersome, Yowuza is much shorter, it's my Wikia username so it's harder for people to impersonate me. PS: I'm using unified login. Yowuza  ZX Wolfie  15:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 20:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ — Rlevse • Talk  • 01:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Travellingcari → Star Mississippi

 * Reason: Current name too close to my real name via Google leading to some awkward off wiki contact. Would strongly prefer to eliminate that with this more generic and not connected to me name. If an issue, please let me know. TravellingCari  01:29, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ — Rlevse • Talk  • 01:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

C2FelJORGE → GCL721

 * Reason: I'd like to break some ties to an outdated personal website I once had; Wikipedia is about current information, after all. George Lambrou (talk) 01:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 03:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * User Metros 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? Kingturtle (talk) 15:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That'd be fine (I only have edits on two other projects and they're both minimal in nature, so it's not a huge deal). Metros (talk) 17:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Kingturtle (talk) 18:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Nick Dowling → Nick-D

 * Reason: I've become uncomfortable using my real name, but would like to move to something similar to prevent any confusion over who I am, which is a bit important as I have admin privileges and am one of the coordinators of the Military History Wikiproject.

 * What do I need to do to restore this after the name change? The only other Wiki page I ever use is Wikicommons. Nick Dowling (talk) 23:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You will just have to rename your Commons account, then remerge. It's nothing big.  bibliomaniac 1  5  00:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries then - that's an easy fix as the new name isn't in use at Commons. Please go ahead with changing my user name. Nick Dowling (talk) 06:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

English peasant → King of the North East

 * Reason: I changed my username from "King of the North East" to "English peasant" in Feb 2008 and have begun to regret it, I no longer wish to be associated with a particular nationality and would appreciate it if someone would put it back the way it was. Note the names of all of my other user accounts on Commons, es wiki, etc are King of the North East. Cheers E  P  00:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It was because I did the rename, but it gave me an error message after a lengthy wait. So I checked my logs and saw that nothing happened. I decided then to leave it for someone with a better computer. Apparently it did rename.  bibliomaniac 1  5  03:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Del arte → Dmetric

 * Reason: I want to leave Wikipedia and leave nothing behind which could cause a potential employer to decide not to hire me. I have control over Facebook in this regard, but with Wikipedia I've been rendered powerless. Also, I was dumb enough to use my real name on this thing, and I don't trust that my name will not be smeared again after my final login. Del arte (talk) 22:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * OK, maybe I'm a little too confident about my dissertation defense, but how about if we make it SummerPhD and I'll add a note at the top of my user page for the next several months? Since this is the terminal degree in my field, that name should be permanent. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm confused - what's not neutral about your current username? --Dweller (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Good question! Bland would have been a better word. By neutral I mean the new name is just letters and numbers as opposed to real words which can carry different imagery/associations for different people. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and clearly people have different preferences about their usernames in this respect. But I now realise that to make a continuing contribution to Wikipedia I would be more comfortable with a "bland" username rather than the one I chose, and this is the reason for the request.
