 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: To match my username on the other language wikipedias (and my current name is weird.) Kharybdis (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * —Random832 14:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This user doesn't qualify for a usurption as their only real edits are to their userpage - however if you can show you use the name on other wikis we'll consider it. Secretlondon (talk) 19:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Caston Smith → Hound Dog

 * Current name:

 * -- Andre (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Ryan57 → Ryan Taylor

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Would like to have my full name without the number. If it's not available Ryan will do.  ~  Ryan A. Taylor   ||  screaming at me  ||  DUMPING GROUND!    04:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * However, the editor requesting rename may not qualify for usurpation; but he might be close with ~250 edits, and a bureaucrat would hopefully make a decision on that before he goes to usurpation (if that is what he chooses to do). Also, the account Ryan Tayler was created via the WP:ACC process, this may not matter, but just to note I (talk) 05:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * , go to usurpation -- Andre (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Algszs → Algszs

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I want to. Algszs (talk) 08:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All usernames start with a capital letter per MediaWiki software restrictions. Sorry. -Jéské ( Auld la ng syne ) 09:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Dawnhornby → Dawnhornby

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: want no capital letters in my username. Dawnhornby (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All usernames on Wikipedia begin with a capital letter because they system automatically converts them so, so this rename would make a differece. You can, however, adjust your signature in Special:Preferences so your usernames displays decapitalised. Qst 12:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 22:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Iconshock web icons → Web icons

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: the reason to request the change of my username is.. I can not use an username that makes reference to the business i work for, so I ask you to please remove iconshock and leave only Web icons....Thank you. 190.12.137.238 (talk) 16:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The username "Iconshock web icons" does not exist. Further, all requests must be made by the account wanting renaming; this request was filed by . -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 20:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is probably commons:User:Iconshock web icons who was blocked indefinitely for a promotional username. Change requests at commons are at commons:Commons:Changing username. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 22:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Blackacre State Nature Preserve → Blackacre Conservancy, Inc.

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Organization's name has been officially changed Blackacre (talk) 19:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I assume this is a promotional account, but no edits have been made to confirm this. I (talk) 19:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it's certainly a role account Secretlondon (talk) 21:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The username "Blackacre State Nature Preserve" does not exist in the first place. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 21:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 22:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Yun-Yuuzhan → SKYNET

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: tried to register using SKYNET in capitals but couldn't because a user exist called Skynet, checked it out with the Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations and one user said if the username is in capitals it should be alright, and Skynet hasn't made any contributions since last February however if agreed to change it to SKYNET i wouldn't mind my entire contributions and edit counts to be transferred to SKYNET if it's permitted. →Yun-Yuu zhan→ 19:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I did not say it was all right, I said that Skynet could not be usurped as it has edits, but technically he could be renamed to SKYENT (he asked for it capitlized this way) as that account. Since it is close to Skynet (differing only in capitalization) it might not be permitted, but the Skynet account is relatively inactive, with the last edit in February 07 and before that October 06. So a bureaucrat would need to make a decision on this one. I (talk) 19:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Very well. →Yun-Yuu zhan→ 19:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it could be argued that it's promotional for any of the Skynets, as well as being confused with User:Skynet. Therefore I'm not doing. Secretlondon (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As above. Secretlondon (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Marnifrances → Mjfan

 * Current name:

 * Reason: repeated vandalism to my page and account. Marnifrances (talk) 03:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

 * -- Andre (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Ukryan1992 → RyanUK

 * -- Andre (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Current name:

Further, a rename will not give you license to resume spamming us (read account-to-be-renamed's contributions; admin access only). -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 01:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Prof jerz → Dennis G. Jerz

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: More personal and democratic, and thus more fitting for Wikipedia. Dennis G. Jerz 06:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I see that already exists and has made edits - is that account also yours? We can't merge two accounts contributions, but if you can show that they are both your accounts, we could transfer Prof jerz's edits to Dennis G. Jerz (but its own contributions would need to be assigned to a nominal account). WjBscribe 13:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Prof jerz and Dennis G. Jerz are both me. Here I am signed in as Prof jerz... 21:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

...and here I am again, logged in as Dennis G. Jerz. Transfering the edits to the new account would be fine. Dennis G. Jerz (talk) 21:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Here I am again, from the Prof jerz account, saying yes, please go ahead and transfer the edits as you suggest. Thank you. 21:57, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

 * ❌ - the account is already taken. WjBscribe 03:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

HOWARDYELLEN → HLBLANTON10

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: when original signed up didn't realize name was public- would rather my real name be private. Howardyellen (talk) 19:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In your request, you capitalised every letter of both names. However, your username is not capitalised, which lead me to think it might have been an error. Would you like your new name to be in all capital letters? I (talk) 19:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ❌ - no clarification from requestor after 7 days. WjBscribe 00:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

PAArty → FadedSoul

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Going back on the username i created until i can ursup the username i want. Party (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the users second rename (and usually the last) Please be sure that you want to keep the requested username <b style="color:blue;">Alex</b><b style="color:red;">fusco</b><sup style="color:green;">5 02:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes i am sure. Until i get that ursupation, i'll stick with FadedSoul --Party (talk) 02:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I will need a 'crat to confirm this but I believe that a usurpation request would qualify as a rename so this may be your last rename and you will have to stick with FadedSoul. I will ask an active 'crat now <b style="color:blue;">Alex</b><b style="color:red;">fusco</b><sup style="color:green;">5 02:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - I see no reason to have three renames in such short succession. I am minded to perform the requested usurpation on the 10th. I'm sure User:PAArty can be patient for a few days. WjBscribe 03:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Marsha cohen → Marsha cohen

 * Current name:

 * Reason: capital used in error Marsha cohen (talk) 18:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Note: You can't put a lower case first letter. though you can change your signiature. It's the same reason we have eBay listed as EBay  <font color="DarkBlue">Jordan  Morrison   Payne   19:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Payne is correct - MediaWiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter in a username (although one can use lowercase to alter user (talk): space titles so as to be lowercase). -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 20:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * -- Andre (talk) 23:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

KatRDNS → Kat7207

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Letters unusable. KatRDNS (talk) 02:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how "RDNS" is a WP:U breach, which is what seems to be implied. -Jéské ( Auld la ng syne ) 02:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you tell us more about this request? There doesn't seem to be any reason for you not to edit as KatRDNS - but I'll rename you to Kat7207 if you want. WjBscribe 18:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

they wont know my new username so they wont be able to find the pages. i moved the edits to another page so they wouldnt reverse it. PLEASE!!! thanks for the semi but the people who are doing it have an account.
 * Then I can block them if they try it. I am an administrator, and I have your userpage watchlisted.  If it gets too much, I'll hand it off to a checkuser so we can block the underlying IPs. Besides, there is a record of your rename in logs; they can find your new page quite easily.  Further, none of the harassers that I can see have an account; it's all coming from IP addresses. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 22:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

 * US broadcast callsigns (W is assigned to the US) are typically four letters. Based on a deleted article, this does not appear to be an actual broadcast station anyway, so it would not have a callsign.
