Ashgoku16 → Vignesh007

 * Reason: account in my name. Ashgoku16 (talk) 18:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * While this username is available to be usurped, you only have nine edits and usurping is usually reserved for more established editors. Your request below this one has the added problem in that the requested username exists and has six edits. Recommend you select a username that does not already exist. Useight (talk) 19:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You're too new to usurp the request; if you have privacy concerns over your username, please request a different name and we will perform the change (though please cite your reason in the request). EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:39, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

VirtualApplesauce → TunaToothpastePie123

 * Reason: My current username violates username policy as it is a domain. I need the account changed to something that isn't a domain. VirtualApplesauce (talk) 10:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 10:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Domain names are ok if they are personal or not promotional. Is Virtualapplesauce a commercial site? Kingturtle (talk) 15:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

VirtualApplesauce is not a commercial site. It is a personal domain that just so happens to be my internet nickname...that's why I chose it. However the person that originally blocked me said that because I put a link to my website on my personal page that I was blatantly advertising. I explained that it was a test post that I thought no one would ever see, there is no content at the website to advertise and that the post would have been removed, I realize I should have used the sandbox for my test, they then removed the block but they then said that the username had to be changed because it is a domain name which is forbidden in the Wiki username policy. I've been battling this for over a week and am really confused as to how exactly I can get this situation resolved. I have no problem operating within the rules and wish to do so...help?VirtualApplesauce (talk) 01:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As someone that also shares their username with their domain (evula.com, evula.net, and evula.org, to be exact), I feel your pain. :) However, the issue wasn't that you added a link to your website; you effectively created a fake Wikipedia article about your website, which is something that we see far too often from those with less than innocent intentions. Given the fact that you're obviously apologetic about the event, I'm inclined to overrule any "you have to be renamed" declaration. Do you still want to be renamed? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd support both outcomes, depending on the user's wishes. The admin who blocked this user on name basis insisted that he change his name, so I'll notify him of this; however, given the above discussion I'd be fine with VirtualApplesauce retaining his sauce. Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :D  19:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate everyone who has taken the time and I would prefer to keep my name as is if it is possible. Hello MoP. :)VirtualApplesauce (talk) 21:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The username was registered thirty minutes after the request was posted. Assuming that you're the one that registered the account, the request is no longer needed (if it wasn't, let us know and we'll usurp it; you requested before it was registered, so you'd already "reserved" the name).

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 23:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You haven't made any positive contributions to the project; just creating and recreating junk articles. The username change system is here for valued contributors, not for the whims of those that don't understand what Wikipedia is for. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 23:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Fpoto → Pot

 * Reason: I have been on the Internet since the early ninetees, and have always used the nickname "pot" (from my surname Potortì) when possible, i.e., when not already taken. My user name on the Italian Wikipedia is in fact Pot, <pot@gnu.org> is my first email address, which I use when dealing with free software issues, and <pot@potorti.it> is my regular email address for private matters (the one I registered with Wikipedia), http://pot.potorti.it/ is my private web page.  I do not like Fpoto (from my name and surname Francesco Potortì), it is just a fallback that I use when people request at least five characters and so on. Just today I discovered that the user Pot does not exist, so I am here asking if I can change my nickname to reflect my historical and current habits and my usual network identity. Fpoto (talk) 08:54, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 08:54, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I thought it did not exist. Anyway, suppose that someone has taken User:Pot just to keep it without using it. May I wait until it is considered inactive?  In other words, may I be put in a queue of those waiting to usurp User:Pot?
 * - yes, you can try to get the username. The account has no edits, so it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 20:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I made a request for usurpation, so you can delete this one. --Fpoto (talk) 08:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Dugar rajesh → RD

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. RD 04:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 04:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The name is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 16:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Realasave → BobbyJC

 * Reason: Sorry, used company name for initial account, reviewed the naming guidelines, hope new username is acceptable. 24.8.59.219 (talk) 00:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 00:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Delete Account. Roydon Ng (talk) 04:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 04:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Requested name could cause confusion. --Dweller (talk) 11:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ - not to HTTP 404 Error, but to a generic unused name. Kingturtle (talk) 05:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

rivalmaster → rivalmaster

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. The company name is Rival Marketing. I am the master of marketing efforts on behalf of the company, including postings online. Thus Rivalmaster accurately reflects my contributions. Rivalmaster (talk) 21:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 21:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Three issues: First, promotional accounts are explicitly disallowed and are blocked on sight. Second, MediaWiki's interface automatically capitalizes usernames' first letters. Third, the "User" designator on that page means it is a userpage, not an article (articles do not have " :" at the beginning of their names). -<font color="32CD32">Jéské Couriano <font color="4682B4">(v^_^v) 21:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, no matter what username you end up with, do not make edits to Wikipedia that promote or even have to do with Rival Marketing. Please read Conflict of interest for more information on this. Kingturtle (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Howareyouiamfine (talk) 11:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 11:24, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You have hardly any contributions with Howareyouiamfine, you could easily avert bureaucrat help by creating the new username yourself. You can do so by logging out and following the "create an account" option in the top right hand corner of the display. Caulde  12:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just create a new account.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:44, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Spacecabbage → Asparagus3000

 * Reason: I just discovered "space cabbage" is a slang term for marijuana. I am worried my posts wont be taken seriously if I keep that name (as opposed to "asparagus3000").  I have not yet made any posts with this account. Spacecabbage (talk) 19:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 19:33, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll AGF this is a serious request, but you can create the account yourself. --Dweller (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Markmu06 → MusicalM

 * Reason: I'd prefer a username that doesn't contain a big part of my real name. Markmu06 (talk) 13:39, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 13:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I will create a new account, because of the few edits I made. Markmu06 (talk) 17:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As indicated. --Dweller (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Nktpr → LuzMendiluceThompson

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming - I don't want my identity real name to be so readily recognisable. Nktpr (talk) 23:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 23:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally, I am uneasy changing a name to a character in Nazi Literature in the Americas. Kingturtle (talk) 14:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I suppose. Obviously, the book is a work of satire (and fictional). I'm not trying to be inflammatory, and the book is about the absurdity of characters with Fascist views. If you like, you can read the section on Luz Mendiluce Thompson here (it's quite short, and starts halfway down).Nktpr (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure we should be debating Facism using usernames... these things come with no explanatory text so if you're happy not to be inflammatory, please choose another name and post below. --Dweller (talk) 15:09, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Imunchies! → Emo FrenchFries

 * Reason: I did not like my old username. Imunchies! (talk) 02:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 02:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Nosheenmusic → Nosheen

 * Reason: Didn't realise username for log in would be the actual username for account. Simple misunderstanding. Thank you Nosheenmusic (talk) 10:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 10:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That username already exists (since 2006) but as it has no edits, it's very "usurpable". Please read the instructions at WP:CHU/U and post a new request there. --Dweller (talk) 11:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, since the name already exists, it has to be usurped, which is done on that page. However, the bureaucrats, the ones who perform the actual usurpation, prefer that only active editors acquire usernames through usurpation, to ensure that a username that might be in high demand is used.

Additionally, while used jokingly and with love for my Jewish identity, it contains an offensive word for Jewish people to those who can read Hebrew characters in the Yiddish system. My new name is Turkish and contains the (non-offensive) Turkish word for "Jew". סרסלי, קײק פּלז (talk) 04:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 04:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not prepared to rename you to anything that has the word "Jew" in it, in any language, whether offensive (like your current "Kike") or, as you say, not. Please could you try very hard to come up with a Latin-based username that is unlikely to provoke people. Thanks. --Dweller (talk) 14:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: this is interesting. The username isn't inherently promotional, but the name could imply authority if the user were to edit articles or become involved in discussions of articles related to money/commerce/business and such. I'd recommend a rename - but to something completely different, something that constitutes less of an infringement. &mdash; Anonymous Dissident  Talk 14:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I too am uncomfortable with this name, in either form.  If I saw it come through the pipe, I'd routinely put a username block on it as a commercial name. --Elonka 18:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: I feel uncomfortable now about SRX due to personal reasons, and in addition I feel like I need a permanent name that I can stick with forever on Wikipedia, and this is the one because it is a family nickname and it will be the one I stick with forever on Wikipedia because I have changed it twice already.

 * ❌ (User replied on my talk page diff). While we welcome your edits on Wikipedia, using this account just for a single purpose as mentioned above is not sanctioned. You mention PMP Collaboration is a project for the user community to progressively elaborate on the processes that make up the 5 process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing in project management.
