Camaron → CT Cooper

 * Reason: Hello, after much thought and planning I have decided to commit to a username change, as the alias "Camaron" has become problematic for a number of reasons. I am aware of the risks of using my real name in any form, and know that this request can only result in a re-name on this project (I will deal with any others).

 * FYI with your edit count, the change username process may stall out and result in contributions being spread between both names which might require a developer to fix. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 14:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the warning. I was expecting the software to be slow in re-assigning my edits in any case, though if the worse case scenario does happen I will just have to ask a developer nicely to fix the issue. I do plan to make the name change permanent barring unforeseeable circumstances, and have given it plenty of thought. Camaron · &#32; Christopher · &#32;talk 14:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

 * It is not quite right. You made the edit on this project using PorgeHR. Also, now has an account on ENWP autocreated via m:SUL. Now, that account would need to be usurped. What you need to do is 1) go to Commons, 2) make sure you are logged in as Ithundir, and 3) then make a note on Commons (much like you did on your talk page here) saying you wanting to be renamed here from PorgeHR to Ithundir.

Tomdresser27 → Tomd2712

 * Reason: I would like to change my username as I have become aware of the chance that I may be recognised because my username is currently my full name, and I would like to be able to help to maintain pages without the chance of getting harrassed for doing so. I also now use the new username as a common username on the internet, and my old username, which I signed up for many years ago is not one I use anymore, and as I am using wikipedia more and more these days, I would like to be able to have my common username.

 * So would I :D, but I'm pretty sure. The names are similar, but not confusingly so and anyone who has been around long enough to remember that should be sensible enough to not infer a connection. Akirn (talk) 14:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Second question: Are you aware of, and comfortable with, the risks associated with renaming an account with very many edits? In particular, the contributions might not all get moved over automatically and may require a developer to fix - and we can give no estimates as to how long that will take. See WT:CHU and 17313. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 14:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Camaron2 → CT Cooper (alternate account)

 * Reason: Just one last re-name request from me; I could do with my alternate account re-named as for obvious reasons it is no longer appropriate. This account is occasionally used by me when I can't use my main account, and unlike the re-name of my main account, the edit count should be low enough to avoid any problems.
