Wikipedia:Changing username/Unfulfilled/2008/February

Colorwest → Color West

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: The name of the user page should be two separate words. I didn't know that the username would double as the article title. Color West (talk) 03:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a promotions agency. Also, be aware that accounts whose sole edits to the encyclopedia are vanispamcruftisement can be blocked on sight. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 05:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Deleted the squatted userpage User:Color West; requester was sole editor. Page deleted under Criterion U2 (user does not exist). -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 05:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ -- Andre (talk) 03:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: misspelling. Odyssey Inc (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Usernames intended to promote a company are prohibited per the username policy.  N F 24 (radio me!) 01:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * So are usernames whose only contribs have been advertisement. Blocked as a promotional account; userpage deleted as spam. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 01:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Please provide a reason for renaming.  N F 24 (radio me!) 20:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ As your only edit is to this page and you haven't given a reason, better to just create a new account with the desired name. WjBscribe 15:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Current name:

Thebluesharpdude → AlexBlue

 * Current name: Thebluesharpdude
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I tried to move my userpage but it didn't work so I'm gonna request this username. --Thebluesharpdude (talk) 01:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There seems to be an inconsistency here between the name you want to rename from, and what you have input as your current name. Andre (talk) 02:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It appears that the user was not clear on how to get a new username - and simply edited User:Alexljandro and User:AlexBlue pages. I've done some housecleaning and left a note on Thebluesharpdude's talk page &mdash; requesting that he wait for a new name before creating the associated userpages. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 04:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Well Then nevermind...I changed my mind...I don't want to change it. --Thebluesharpdude (talk) 05:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * ❌ - withdrawn. WjBscribe 01:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

BritandBeyonce → Efe

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Per request on my RfA. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 08:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The target username already exists. However, it can be usurped. X ENON 54 | talk | who? | 01 Feb 2008 11:25GMT


 * I typed User:Efe but there's no existing page. I'm confused. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 11:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's listed on Special:Listusers, which means it was created. Users do not have to have userpages. However, there is no log entry for the creation, which means that the account was created before creations were logged (mid-2005?). So, the account exists and you will have to usurp it. X ENON 54 | talk | who? | 01 Feb 2008 11:40GMT —Preceding comment was added at 11:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - usurpation request made. WjBscribe 15:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

FlailingAt3AM → Rocko998

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Lost password and would like more appropriate name.


 * This request was made by an anonymous user. Terra  Talk  20:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Specifically, 24.108.194.20. Also, changing usernames will not recover or reset a lost password. X ENON 54 | talk | who? | 01 Feb 2008 20:33GMT


 * I'm not worried about accesing the account,just changing the name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.194.20 (talk) 21:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you exercising the Right to vanish? In any case, the request will likely not be granted unless you can login to the account and prove that it is yours. X ENON 54 | talk | who? | 01 Feb 2008 21:37GMT
 * ❌ - just start a new account with a password you'll remember. WjBscribe 15:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

JACQUELYN MCCAMMON-JUNOR → Jacquelyn Mccammon-Junor

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Cannot get log in. Would like to use old user name. 208.58.31.112 (talk) 02:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, renames do not reset passwords. Also, a rename cannot be done without confirmation that you own the account. In this instance, a checkuser might be able to help. However, I am not sure what the account in question is here. seresin | wasn't he just...? 02:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed malformed request. -- Ry an Ta yl or  03:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Requesting account does not exist. Nan oha A's Yu ri     Talk, My master 07:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - there is no account by the name of the one you've given us - perhaps that's why you can't sign in? WjBscribe 15:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. 76.22.71.109 (talk) 19:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

 * ❌. WjBscribe 15:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Awesomemccoy18 → Scotty

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming.: Because Scotty is my real first name. Awesomemccoy18 (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed request. Requested account is already registered, but there is no log for the date that it was created on. Nan oha A's Yu ri     Talk, My master 19:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Although the Scotty account qualifies for usurpation, the user requesting usurpation does not, with only one edit. seresin | wasn't he just...? 19:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - if you still want to be renamed, please choose a username that isn't already taken. WjBscribe 15:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Pollytyred → Polly

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Nice and short, better suits me Polly  ( Parrot ) 19:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The target username already exists. However, it can be usurped. X ENON 54 | talk | who? | 02 Feb 2008 22:12GMT
 * ❌ - usurpation request made instead. WjBscribe 15:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

YouWiki → ☯µWiki☯

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: My intention for this username was to parodize utorrent with wikipedia but I found out someone else took that name when it was created. My signature on most article discussions are uwiki so i might as well change my username to uwiki.  ☯µWiki☯  Talk / Contributions  (YouWiki''') 15:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * UWiki and ΜWiki (mu, though with m is also not taken) are not taken - Uwiki is taken but not active since November 2006 - Mwiki has no contributions, Μwiki is not taken. Any particular reason for the ☯ symbols?—Random832 22:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that the symbols are there because UWiki is taken Alexfusco5 23:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a problem with writing those symbols? (for example cannot support unicode?). -- ☯µWiki☯  Talk / Contributions  (YouWiki''') 00:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know for sure but I would assume that it is not a problem Alexfusco5 00:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * A redirect can be made from YouWiki, and I see they have done this already with their user page, haven't checked the user talk though. -- Ry an Ta yl or  08:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless there's a strong reason to use those characters, I'd advise against it since it's not possible for most people to type these, which makes it harder to contact you on the wiki. Angela. 07:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have the same reluctance as Angela as far as this request is concerned. Making usernames harder to type doesn't seem like a great use of the rename function - is using these symbols in your sig not sufficient? WjBscribe 10:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Uh... couldn't they just easily highlight my user name and copy and paste it? For me its easy to type because I am good at ASCII and uncommon characters? If you have some policy of why I can't use those ying yang characters then write the link. Do you not "like it" and want to handle it democratically (by voting it as a deny?) hypothetically speaking? should i try finding a different username and come back to this issue in a month? i have a feeling you guys are implying NOs in your notes... please just plainly put it out there, no or yes. -- ☯µWiki☯   Talk / Contributions  (YouWiki''') 02:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

 * If you want to take over (usurp) an existing name, please make the request at Changing username/Usurpations and notify the user as instructed on that page. WjBscribe 14:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Sonopia Guru (talk) 15:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Why do you want to be renamed? If a reason is not provided in the next few days, this request will be declined. -- The  Helpful   One  17:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ If you check their talkpage, the user has been asked to change name due a problem with promotional/COI editing. Unfortunately the name William Miller is already taken. Please request a new name that does not appear in Special:Listusers. WjBscribe 19:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Radical Notion (Independent Media) → Radical Notion (independent media)

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: misspelled name. Radical Notion (Independent Media) (talk) 21:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Username seems promotional? -- The  Helpful   One  21:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Radical Notion (Independant Media) seems extremelly promotional. Promotional usernames are banned on sight. Although not prohibited, please keep in mind that you will be consistantly targeted as slanted, and very possible banned. You may want to choose another username. Gumguts (talk) 21:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - promotional username. WjBscribe 20:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Jaytur1 → ジェイ

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: When I joined wikipedia, I did not know that you could use non-latin, so I had to use jaytur1. (Note: that guy on the japanese wikipedia is not me) JayTur1 (Contribs) 10:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Most users can't type non latin characters, so I don't think this username change is a brilliant idea. A crat will decide. -- The  Helpful   One  17:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * ❌ - I'm generally reluctant to rename people to names others will have difficulty interpreting and typing. Also, moves to unify login across different Wikipedias are made more complicated if different people have the same name on different projects. All in all, I don't think this is a good idea. WjBscribe 20:15, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Ooperhoofd → Tenmei

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: During the past year, my primary focus has had to do with Japanese era names. These time-period names were changed periodically, but not regularly -- some lasting only months, and others lasting for decades.  I want to adopt one of these Japanese era names as my username.  As it happens, my initial user name, "Ooperhoofd," was a deliberate mis-spelling of the Dutch word for the chief trader on the island of Dejima in Nagasaki harbor.  In Japan, the title  "Opperhoofd" had significance during the 300 years in which all but the VOC merchants were excluded from Japan as part of a deliberate, "country-in-chains" policy (sakoku).  Now that I'm beginning to feel more comfortable in the Wikipedia environment, I think I can cast aside a user name which serves me less well than it did some months ago.  A new vista of perceived opportunities is beginning to open up for me, and I want to mirror something of a nengō-informed approach to a what I'm doing as a Wikipedia editor.  In that context, the nengō which means "dawn" seems an attractive alternative, a good step in a constructive direction.  "Tenmei" is short ... and, yes, I know that I need to learn to write in shorter sentences.  The other users whose opinions I most value will have no difficulty in adapting to this name change -- and, in fact, I flatter myself that they would likely recognize my contributions even if I were identified by an unfamiliar IP-address.  My prose has been charitably called "a dense, overly-academic"  writing style -- as you can see for yourself here.  I wonder if a user name change will help me "find my own voice" -- assuming, of course, that I still have it in me to grow a little bit. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 03:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ter ra Terra's talkpage 18:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * There is a user called User:Ben without the ! and it may cause conflict because of similarities between the username requested, unless i'm mistaken. Ter ra Terra's talkpage 09:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * There is no difference between the names, you don't require a username change to not change the name! -- The  Helpful   One  18:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * What exactly did you want done here, exactly? -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 20:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Jeske, I think they want the first letter not capitalised. MediaWiki software automatically capitalises the first letter of usernames. -- Ry an Ta yl or  22:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope; the name would show up as uncapitalized on the edit screen. The Requested Name in the Listuser template is capitalized. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 23:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Mrpouetpouet → Uncle Scrooge
The name Uncle Scrooge is taken, but UncleScrooge isn't. If you want Uncle Scrooge, you could post a request at WP:CHU/U instead since Uncle Scrooge seems to meet the GFDL requirements. Icestorm815 •  Talk  00:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( other projects?) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: A year ago I created this username (mrpouetpouet) to try editing wikipedia. I liked that so much, I decided to continue editing articles and templates. The problem is this name doesn't look either serious or funny... I just didn't have any idea I would become a wikipedian when I created it. Now I think it's time to request a username change as I reached my 1'500 edit. Why Uncle Scrooge ? Because I really enjoy this character . However if the spelling : "Uncle Scrooge" causes trouble "UncleScrooge" will suit me too ;) Mrpouetpouet (talk) 00:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I know my account is new but because the first letter is not case sensitive, I cannot just create a new account as the change I want to make means that the "new" account would not be available.
