 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Didn't want to use real name. Jefftruell 13:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ❌, only one edit besides to this page, just create the new name. Andre (talk) 19:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])

 * Wizardman 15:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ❌, this probably isn't the name you want to change, as it has no contributions. Andre (talk) 00:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Coloradocampaigns → Colorado Campaigns

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Yes, there is broad appeal in having the properly capitalized, spaced letters in my user name.As I will be making sanctioned edits on behalf of candidates, campaigns, and the City of Lakewood, Colorado, I find it prudent to have this changed. I would've originally registered under this name, however, I did not realize that the interface allowed me to properly space and capitalize. Coloradocampaigns 07:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You've only made three edits; just create a new account with that name. — Bob • (talk) • 07:42, July 26, 2007 (UTC)
 * (1) He can't just create the new name - the software won't allow it as its too similar to an existing name (his current one). (2) Both current and requested names seem to be in violation of our username policy, in that they are promotional usernames. Using Wikipedia as a promotional or political vehicles is not permitted and if that is your intent I would strongly discourage you from it. WjBscribe 07:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * , promotional username with a promotional agenda. You will need to change your username anyway, as the current name violates the policy. Please file another request with a name that identifies you, not an organization you represent. Andre (talk) 07:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Jschoblaska → Joey Schoblaska

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I did not realize that the WikiMedia software allowed spaces in usernames. Knowing this, it would be great if I could get my usernamed changed to "Joey Schoblaska". I tried to register this username myself, since I have no contributions to lose by doing so, but the system would not allow me to register "Joey Schoblaska" because it is too similar to "Joeyschoblaska". Thanks! (Removed old request because I was not logged in when I placed it - sorry for the confusion) Joeyschoblaska 15:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Reason: My name is too violent. 87.116.111.98 13:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

NatashaR → Florencia

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I can't remember NatashaR. NatashaR 09:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * NatashaR seems to have had some trouble using renameuser. I filled it in for her using the data from her request.  (had to guess the target user name and reason.)
 * NatashaR: Please review the information above and let me know if it is what you intended and correct it as you see fit or let me know and I'll fix it for you. Also, please clarify the reason.  Does that mean that Florencia is easier for you to remember than NatashaR?
 * By the way, I just noticed that the target I used already exists. If the target I used is correct then please see the Clerk note below. --Jeremyb 11:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Secretlondon 18:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I did not 'hijack' it, and those contributions are by me. I attempted to rename my account myself before I found these instructions, thinking it would be the same process as renaming an article. Disregard this request. Ausref 07:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

BloodMaliceSmoky → PsijuDith

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Privacy concerns. I'd like to have the name changed to something less identifiable since I use it for too many other areas as it is. Thank you. BloodMaliceSmoky 19:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * FYI, your previous name will be associated with your new name. There is an archive of this page and a rename log among other places where that information would be available.  --Jeremyb 19:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Just to remove my personal name from public. Thanks! 91.150.109.41 14:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * for two reasons. Firstly, you need to confirm from your account that you want the rename to go ahead, but you did it from an IP. Secondly, is already registered, but meets the requirements for usurpation, if you want to list a request at WP:USURP. --Deskana (banana) 14:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Response: What policy was violated? We were not informed that the username was the name of the article, and if in fact the username Cqgmarcomm is not the title of the article, then would you be of some assistance and tell us how to edit the title of the article.  We are writing about the company, CQG Inc. and would like the title of the article to be CQG Inc.CQG Inc. 18:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If I may interject here: You have posted article content into user space, as I explained to you on your talk page. You seem to be under the impression that user space is yours to do with as you see fit (see the links on your talk page welcome template) whereas it is subject to similar rules as the mainspace with regard to ownership except for some additional latitude. And as I have written on my talk page, the content in question is not yet suitable for article space.  Adrian  M. H.  18:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Edmundkh → Edmundezekielmahmudisa

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: The "kh" is from my Chinese, or actually Hokkien surname. But now I would like to be "Jewish" and "Malayish", so I want to change to a half-Jewish half-Malay/Arab name. Edmund the King of the Woods! 13:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I would like my user name to be my own name. Note: In my ignorance, I attempted to change my name by simply "moving" User:OsteopathicFreak to User:Hopping. I moved it back once I realized this was improper procedure.  The User:Hopping page is now blank, but exsistant. My apologies. TU Osteopathic   Freak  T  01:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Jonjonbt → Jonathan

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I want to have my real first name only, as I don't truly like how it gives my middle and last initials. I didn't think about that when I created this account (I apologize). I am only 11 and feel that might be a lttle dangerous to have those two letters in th username, and I like the Jonathan name better. Thanks for any consideration!

Caroyl → JanieBeth
The requested name was originally listed as "JanieBeth privacy purposes" with no reason. I think we can safely assume that the user does not want the user name "JanieBeth privacy purposes" and the requested username is actually "JanieBeth" and "privacy purposes" is the reason, so I have changed the template to reflect that. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Reason: privacy purposes Caroyl 18:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Reason: I have no idea why I was unable to have regular MrBubbles, but I would like to remove the Chibi and be regular. ChibiMrBubbles 04:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ❌, this name is taken but may be usurpable. Andre (talk) 04:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, doesn't look like there'd be a problem with you usurping User:MrBubbles - if you want to do so, make a request at Changing username/Usurpations. WjBscribe 04:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Philipgilman → PhilipGilman

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I signed up more than once and want to combine my two user names using a more typical capitalization scheme and will make a similar request with the other account to show that I have the log-in ability for thaty one, too. Philipgilman 17:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Reason: Again, I signed in using different capitalizations, and I really only need the one account with the proper capitalization, so this request is just intended to indicate that I have the login rights under this username, too, and so I recognize that it is improperly constructed in that I list as my current name a different name than the one I am logged in as right now. PhilipGilman 17:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merging accounts is not possible, I'm afraid. You'll just have to pick the one you want to contribute from. --Deskana (apples) 17:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
