 * Do I have to fill the template again, or is it enough that I confirm that it is I who wrote this, and want the username changed? CaspianRehbinder (talk) 20:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Ihlin0733 → Svgamer0733

 * Reason: privacy concern Ihlin0733 (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You have only made one edit apart from this one. Would it not be simpler just to create that account? Renaming creates a slight but avoidable drain on the servers.  Intelligent  sium  00:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This username is too personal and it's annoying that it can be searched by google. Please change my username. ihlin0733 00:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihlin0733 (talk • contribs)

Whytye → Barocci

 * Reason: I've changed my username for the first time two weeks ago and I know that it is by no means encouraged to change it again so soon, so I wholeheartedly apologize for the caused inconvenience. My first username was a poetic name of the city, hence the reason to change - it wasn't personal enough. Now I realised that my second username, while more acceptable, is no more comfortable as well, as it started to sound a bit childish to me. I'm sure that the target username suits me well and promise not to request a name change again in a reasonable time. Thanks! Whytye (talk) 12:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

DoktorMandrake → AJCham

 * Reason: My sincere apologies for my awkwardness, and any inconvenience this may cause. I changed my name a few weeks ago, from AJCham to DoktorMandrake, following a sudden identity crisis and desire for increased anonymity.  Looking back, this was a mistake, and I deeply wish to return to my old and familiar username, which I have used for years on many websites.  I am still in control of the SUL, as confirmed at my talk page on Wiktionary.  If you would please make this change, I promise not to darken your door with another change name request ever again!

President of Chicago → PresChicago

 * Reason: The name "President of Chicago" sounds too grandiose even though Chicago only has a mayor and does not have a president. It also makes me look like I have mental illness because nobody in their right mind would claim to be so important.  PresChicago is similar enough but much less grandiose.  It keeps the heritage of the old name, though.   I also risk being blocked if an administrator thought I was claiming to be the mayor or a Chicago government official.

 * ✅ Formatting change was fine.  MBisanz  talk 00:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Heja helweda → Vekoler

 * ✅  MBisanz  talk 18:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

JRH.uk → HLE-3

 * Reason: I'd created a few usernames in the past, but wasn't happy with their names. I'm now happy using User:HLE, and so changed those other accounts to HLE-1 and HLE-2, but forgot to change this one at the same time. I'd like to change from JRH.uk to HLE-3. JRH.uk (talk) 03:13, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Further Reason: I created a few accounts, but don't use them anymore. It's not possible for two or more usernames to be merged as a single username, so the next best thing was to rename them to similar usernames. Two them have been renamed as User:HLE-1 and User:HLE-2, which are redirected to User:HLE. All I want is JRH.uk to be renamed as HLE-3, which will also redirected to User:HLE. JRH.uk (talk) 19:29, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Poker5463 → Hamtechperson

 * Reason: I don't like my current name for the facts that: 1) It has connotations with gambling. 2) It (cryptically) contains personal information. Poker5463 Repeater   15:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Rsagek → Sweden8818165

 * Reason: User Name is too close to my real name. Rsagek (talk) 22:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * - Your contributions, at seven, are fairly few. Changing a username creates a small strain on the servers, but one that can be avoided if you'll abandon those edits and create a new account, under which all new edits will be placed.  Intelligent  sium  review 22:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Server strain for renames is a moot point unless you've really made a ton of edits (read in the hundreds of thousands).  bibliomaniac 1  5  21:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Miniape → Hammermanuk

 * Reason: The original username, Miniape, was used prolifically on a number of sites, and subsequnetly I used it as a domain name for my company, and whilst not the company name it does have commercial implications, and so after a few emails to and from Fred Bauder, I am following his advice and requesting a username change, I cannot create an alternative account since my ip address falls within a band of addresses that are blocked.

Thekid42 → TheKid42

 * Reason: I tried to create the user name without any capital letters at first, but it automatically capitalized the initial T; for consistency, I would much prefer to have the K capitalized as well. Thanks. Thekid42 (talk) 21:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This is your only edit. Rather than renaming, you could abandon this edit and just create that account, or you could keep your current account, but change you signature and display text on your user and user talk pages. <font style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva"> Intelligent  sium  review 23:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Trying to create user:TheKid42 would trigger anti-spoof which this user cannot override. Or perhaps not, as I was just able to create user:KatErenka. Strange, that. I agree, however that changing your signature as well as placing lowercase on your user/talk pages would probably be the easiest thing to do. –Katerenka  ☆ 23:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I actually tried to do exactly that, but was given an error message to the effect of "TheKid42 is too similar to a name already in use." Thanks again for your time and consideration. Thekid42 (talk)

Keithf2008 → Kei_Jo

 * Can you change it to "Kei Jo" if that's possible. --Keithf2008 (talk) 23:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, in fact "Kei_Jo" defaults to "Kei Jo". - Jeremy  ( v^_^v Stop... at a WHAMMY!! ) 18:14, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Seaworldpunk → IllaZilla2

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. When I originally registered on Wikipedia in April 2006, I used a company name in my username. In January 2007 I thought better of it and registered a new account under, which I have been actively editing from ever since (I was unaware of the process for changing usernames at the time). The old account has redirected to my current account since then, but for personal and professional reasons I would like to eliminate the old account name altogether. I am willing to allow any process necessary (such as Checkuser) to show that User:Seaworldpunk and User:IllaZilla are the same person (myself). I have never used either account for any disruptive activity such as sockpuppetry, and if my request is granted then the User:IllaZilla2 account will remain inactive and will redirect to my current username (User:IllaZilla). I am willing to change my old talk page signatures manually. IllaZilla2 (talk) 18:08, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I am now logged in under my current account, posting here to confirm that the above is correct. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Be aware, however, that each Wikimedia project operates separately, and you will have to file further name change requests at Commons, Wikinews, Meta and the Russian Wikipedia if you wish to be changed there also. (Note that the links I've given go directly to the appropriate changing username pages.) Regards, <span style="font-family: fontin, serif;"> AJ Cham  19:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Albi310 → A1bi

 * Reason: I want to have the same name on all Wikipedia projects. Albi310 (talk) 23:10, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Please confirm on your dewiki talk that enwiki Albi310 = dewiki A1bi.—  Anonymous Dissident  Talk 12:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I confirmed it there ;) But I just accidentally created an Account named A1bi also on enwiki. It was automatically created when I switched from dewiki to enwiki. Is that a problem? Can you overwrite this account? --Albi310 (talk) 13:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Nicholas.tan → Nicholas Tan
Nicholas.tan (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Reason: Uniformity (syntax), basically. I am well aware of the implications, both positive and negative of using a (potentially) real name as a username on Wikipedia. Sorry about this small change, its just a small thing that bothers me. Cheers.

GandalftheWise → Mìthrandir

 * Reason: I have not been on Wikipedia for a little while, and I feel like I need a freshish start. I do not intend for this name to be a coverup of anything, but I had a couple instances when I was block and I wasn't editing very seriously (just playing on my talk page). Now I want to really help, and I think it would be wise to have a new name. The technical reason I chose this name, is because Mìthrandir is the real name for Gandalf in J.R.R Tolkien writings. thanks. Gandalf the Wise :  Talk Page  21:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
