 * Reason: The current username is controversial. Homo2 (talk) 15:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 15:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "Antropos" on the Swedish Wikipedia has been editing as recently as under a month ago; if this is you, we can perform the rename, but if not, I'm a little uncomfortable doing it. Is there another username you'd like? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "Antropos" on the Swedish Wikipedia isn't my account. Can you rename me to "Žmogus"? :) --Homo2 (talk) 17:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ An amusing bypass around the "homo" issue. ;) EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: I originally signed up with my real name. Boreas Talk 17:14, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 17:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅, though I noticed a half-done attempt at usurping User:Boreas. You placed the usurp notice on the user page, not the user talk page, and haven't filed a formal request at WP:CHU/U. Normally I would have asked you to clarify, but privacy concerns trump everything else in my book. :) EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

DavidWS → 2D
Please note that I got a WMF Error message as it was happening, though, so perhaps a few subpages didn't get moved. Arg. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 00:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: Change to a simpler username that represents my initials. The "WS" in my username has no meaning and I'd rather have a better username. I initially signed up planning to not use the account much and did not choose a good username then. David WS  (contribs)  00:06, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 00:09, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There are minor french and italian accounts with that name. Neither has claimed the SUL. You might be able to usurp them with the help of the local Crats. I can rename you, but you might have trouble unifying the account completely. Want me to go for it, or do you want to choose again? --Dweller (talk) 00:13, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd go for it. My issue is that I do not speak French or Italian, and online translators generally suck.  I'm sure there are some bilingual crats though, so I guess just do it :).  Thanks much, David WS  (contribs)  00:48, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you somehow find me the link to a userpage of a French crat and an Italian crat. If not, I will look later.  Thanks and Merhappy Christmihanukkahkwanzadan David WS  (contribs)  00:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ The French and Italian 2D users haven't edited since early/mid 2006, so I don't consider that to be too much of an impediment.
 * It's working now. Thanks so much.  2  D C  01:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * All of my edits are under my old username. That's a bit odd.  Is there anyway to fix that?  2  D C  01:34, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yet again, nevermind. I failed to read.  2  D C  01:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It takes a ridiculous amount of time for that to right itself sometimes, but it inevitably always does right itself, so don't worry. :-) --Deskana (talk) 09:35, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, and you had 12,760 edits to transfer around. It'll sort itself out. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, makes sense. Doesn't seem like a terribly high number, but I guess the query 'UPDATE whatever SET owner="2D" where owner="DavidWS"' takes a while depending on the number of other queries and such running.  It's in the job queue right now I'd guess.  I'll be looking :)  2  D C  18:57, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, users with large numbers of edits get sent to the job queue, to be sorted out in time. This delay is natural. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;color:steelblue;">X clamation point  23:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 03:21, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Renaming your account here will break your single-user login; you'll need to be renamed at the other wikis you're active on, such as Commons and the Russian Wikipedia. Is that okay? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 03:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: "Mernen" is a name I'm more known for nowadays, and is more unique. There are a few other people using username "Kamek" in other wikis, but I don't know of any Mernen, eliminating any possible confusion. Kamek (talk) 18:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * User Kamek 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) 21:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Bernd vdB → Bernd vdB_old

 * Reason: Being a mainly WP-de author I forgot that I had registered before when I opened a second account on WP-en. The account I use mainly is "Bernd-vdB", but my other international accounts are "Bernd vdB". In order to unify my accounts (and profit from the unified account function), I'd like you to rename this account to "Bernd vdB_old" (or delete it if you can), so that after this "Bernd-vdB" can be renamed to this one.

Is there any way to change my username here into Marluxia.Kyoshu, so I don't have to log out and back in when I go back and fourth between the commons and here? ~九尾の氷狐~ (Sumimasen! Dochira samaka?) 23:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is possible. First, please log in at Commons and post on your talk page there that you agree with this move. Then post the diff here. Given the SUL issue, we may not be able to do this name change until the toolserver is working again. Hopefully that won't be too long. --Dweller (talk) 10:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Oral Thrush → Tonsil

 * Reason: I originally wanted to have Uvula when I joined, but since that can't be done, I'd like to have it changed to Tonsil. Oral Thrush (talk) 04:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 04:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * user:Tonsil has made 1 GLDF edit, those more familiar with the process can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that if there are ANY article space edits, then the account cannot be usurped. Is there another name you would like?--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 06:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes, I've decided I would like it to be Uvula! (with the exclamation point at the end). Oral Thrush (talk) 07:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅, and if you really want Tonsil for some reason I think it wouldn't be a GFDL issue. Andre (talk) 07:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

12321v → WikipediaEditor_09111

 * Reason: I don't like my old username so instead of deleting this account and registering a new one, which would cause me to loose all my data, I'm requesting a username change. 12321v (talk) 08:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 08:03, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The username Wikipediaeditor_09111 might be considered an inappropriate username under the username policy as it could imply authority. Is there another username you'd like?--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 08:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * How can that name imply authority? "WikipediaEditor" implies that the user is an editor of Wikipedia, which sounds pretty accurate to me. --Conti|✉ 16:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I'd like this username only please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12321v (talk • contribs) 08:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As a side note, User:Editorofthewiki was deemed as not implying authority. Useight (talk) 16:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So is this name change possible? 12321v (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * A bureaucrat will make the final call. As clerks, we only provide useful information for both the requestor and the bureaucrat. Useight (talk) 17:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * We just had a near identical request 2 days ago. That request was to user:Wikipedia-Editor.  The reason why it could be seen as problematic is because editors are often deemed to be authority figures in the publishing field.  I'm not going to say it is/isn't appropriate, but that recent precident might imply it is at least questionable.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 01:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The request for user:WikipediaEditor was made by me but it was rejected as that username was already registered by another user. If that username doesn't exist, could I request for my username to be changed to user:WikipediaEditor instead of user:WikipediaEditor_09111? Also, how long will it take for a bureaucrat to make this change? 12321v (talk) 01:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO if we are going to rule that Wikipedia-Editor/WikipediaEditor, or an variation thereof is acceptable, then we really should go back to the person who made the request earlier this week an offer it to them, as they have IMO the superior claim to the name.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 02:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC) NOTE: The user who had requested Wikipedia-Editor, just had his name changed to user:Visium on Friday.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 06:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It is ill-advised to have the word Wikipedia used in this way. It can be misconstrued. The example used of Editorofthewiki does not say Wikipedia specifically. I would however accept WikiEditor_09111. Kingturtle (talk) 15:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So I can't have "WikipediaEditor_09111"? If not, then okay, I'm willing to accept WikiEditor_09111 in its place. Can this change be done now? 12321v (talk) 09:48, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
