Wikipedia:Changing username/Unfulfilled/2008/July

Osumc → OSUMC

 * Reason: OSUMC is an acronym for The Ohio State University Medical Center. When the name was sumbitted, we did not know Wikipedia would capitalize the first letter. If given the choice, we would prefer all letters to be capitalized. Osumc (talk) 19:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Rudget  ( logs ) 19:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Do not use your account for a group of people to use. Do not use your account to edit the OSUMC article. And as Rudget said, find a neutral username. Kingturtle (talk) 19:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

SAM415 → Sammy4

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. SAM415 (talk) 03:35, 2 July 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) 04:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

GO-HERE → Implosive Endothermic
It refused to let me log in. I decided that just creating a new account in my real name was easier. Sorry to have bothered you. (retracts request) Gdewilde (talk) 01:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: I used user:go-here.nl for some time. This was considered promotional. I have now moved to user:GO-HERE, this was also a wrong name for reasons not further elaborated upon. So now I would like to move to user:Implosive Endothermic. I was under the impression I could just create a new account but a red text appeared saying I didn't create [this] account jet. Assuming I didn't I would like to move the other 2 over there. If I did make the account already then user:Endothermic Implosive is also good. Thanks. 84.104.135.195 (talk) 16:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that is currently registered.  Rudget   ( logs ) 20:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - withdrawn. WjBscribe 01:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

AFRIKAANS → RinaKing

 * Reason: It was spelled to much like Afrikaans. 66.182.224.17 (talk) 00:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but you must log in as the account you need renamed for it to be performed. Additionally, "AFRIKAANS" isn't a registered account. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 01:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Ben.metelits → Anonymous

 * Reason: don't want my name to appear in google. Ben.metelits (talk) 02:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The name Anonymous has already been taken, but it appears that it has no edits. The name change should be requested at WP:USURP. Useight (talk) 03:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Kingturtle (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Firsttech → Waterbottle

 * Reason: Old name violates username policy. Firsttech (talk) 18:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The account exists, but has no edits. However, it was username-blocked due to being too similar to User:Water Bottle. Is there another name you'd like to have? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety → North American Geographical Society
--NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC) NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. We didn't realize the name could be in separate words -- "North American Geographical Society" (as opposed to one word without breaks -- "NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety) and would like our user name to reflect the registered name of our society.
 * Role accounts (accounts used by multiple people) are not allowed. Furthermore, usernames can't be the names of organizations. Please request a new name. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 06:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Zamboni93 → Invalidusername

 * Reason: Deleting personally identifiable information from Wikipedia Zamboni93 (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but "Invalidusername" is already taken. Is there another username you'd be fine with? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

piercemcmanus → jamie1234

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Piercemcmanus (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)because i dont want people to no my name please change it
 * I reformatted this request, please see the original request here. Useight (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but "Jamie1234" is already registered. However, it has no edits; you may usurp the account if you'd like, or you can request a different name. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Highroadballoons → High Road Balloons

 * Reason: please state a reason Highroadballoons (talk) 12:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * ❌ &mdash; Dan | talk 20:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

XGuNn3rX → 123abc

 * Reason: Since you can't delete your account, this is the other option. XGuNn3rX (talk) 21:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That username is already taken. However, it has no edits, so it can be acquired at WP:USURP. Useight (talk) 05:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ &mdash; Dan | talk 20:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Anacrossan → NEW
I did request earlier to change my username to lolopapalangi, please cancel the request.I do aplogise for the incovenience to you. Thanks.
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Anacrossan (talk) 04:41, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

- it has already been changed. Will the new name be okay? Kingturtle (talk) 05:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No reply after 10 days. Rudget   ( logs ) 09:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Kingturtle (talk) 17:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Adolphus79 → Adolph78

 * Reason: Reason: I don't want to change my username, but I would like to usurp Adolph78 as a doppleganger. This account was created by a personal troll of mine to harass me, and it was indef blocked. Adolphus79 (talk) 02:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * - For usurpations you must go to Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 04:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, an entry has been posted there... - Adolphus79 (talk) 08:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Certified.Gangsta → NWA.Rep
parole: User:Bishonen/ArbCom appeal for Certified.Gangsta All other blocks are either 1 second block to apologize for previous bad blocks and well, the bad blocks. Thanks--Certified.Gangsta (talk) 01:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( change username )
 * Reason: This change is requested due to ridicule from other users. I wish to change my username as a gesture to a change of my attitude on wikipedia. Concerned about my block log are addressed in
 * should not be renamed.
 * This user has an extensive block log and a long history of vandalism sockpuppetry per Requests for comment/Certified.Gangsta and Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram. In addition, this user has already been renamed twice. See
 * sockpuppet
 * Renaming this user would be inappropriate and should not be done. Master
 * I think because of the block log and POV issues, it would be best not to rename. That being said, I'm admittedly very biased on this matter as we've had our conflicts. Wizardman  11:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ From a previous conversation I had with Arbcom, we will not be renaming any user that has been blocked by an arbcom decision without their consent. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  13:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

NAVIN BVR → NAVIN SHETTY

 * Reason: Created user name long back, without knowing much about Wikipedia, after getting seriously involved in editing subjects inserting some required images, realized real user name is good to have and its a unique.
 * made this request, was the capitals in the header a mistake? Rudget   ( logs ) 18:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Rudget's question is important. The new username will be case sensitive. Kingturtle (talk) 20:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ No response from person requesting the change =Nichalp   «Talk»=  13:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Ashishbhatnagar72 → आशीष भटनागर

 * Reason: I am having a/c with name Ashishbhatnagar72. Now in Hindi I had been using an a/c named आशीष भटनागर & then unified a/c there. So I want now to have a single a/c in eng wiki too, named आशीष भटनागर; rather than two existing a/cs.--आशीष भटनागर (talk) 00:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just so I have this right, you're saying both the above accounts are yours? If that's the case I'd like for the other account to post confirming this. Wizardman  11:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to remind you that the signature policy encourages Latin characters in your signature so all users on English Wikipedia can read it, should your new name be granted. --Z3ugmatic (talk) 06:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would be glad to present you my consent from my this account, viz Ashishbhatnagar72. Regarding the Latin character point, I would solve the issue, simply by changing my user created signature, at my preferences, from Hindi to English characters. Now I find no hinderances, in making you help me.......Please.--Ashish Bhatnagar (talk) 16:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Now I think, no point lies in changing the username User:Ashishbhatnagar72 or merging it to User:आशीष भटनागर
 * ❌ The problem is that you have edited under two account names. Ashishbhatnagar72 & आशीष भटनागर (under SUL). As of date, we bureaucrats cannot merge the contributions of two accounts. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  13:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Nurits → Nurit Basin

 * Reason: I was advised to change to my real name. Nurits (talk) 18:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Er, who advised you do that? Many people find the level of anonymity afforded by not using your real name to be a good thing. I also just performed a rename for you earlier today; will this be your last request, and are you sure you want to use your real name? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Further edits by Nurits make it pretty clear that this is a single-purpose self-promotional account. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 21:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Osumc → OSUMC

 * Reason: OSUMC is an acronym for The Ohio State University Medical Center and I would like the username to be in all caps. Osumc (talk) 20:22, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * - You were already denied once. We prefer to have user names that are not promotional, even if it is for a good cause. Can you find a different username to use? Kingturtle (talk) 20:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Maprguy → MAprguy

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. MA is an acronym for my company, a pr firm. Would prefer to be the MA pr guy rather than the Map r guy. Thanks. Maprguy (talk) 01:12, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I reformatted this request. The original post can be found here. Useight (talk) 02:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Promotional usernames are not allowed by our username policy. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 03:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Zydllh → Zydllh

 * Reason: I have maken a mistake when registering. 401B (talk) 15:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry; all usernames have their first letter capitalized by default due to technical restrictions. - Jéské  ( v^_^v  Trump XXI ) 17:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * - To make the first letter appear lowercase add to your userpage. Also you may want to customize your signature. Kingturtle (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌. WjBscribe 21:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Volkovroble → V0lk0vr0ble

 * Reason: It looks better. But please rename without redirect again. And that will be my last rename-request, promise. Volkovroble (talk) 15:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You were renamed just two days ago, and have only made two edits (aside from this request) since then. I dislike seeing WP:CHU being used so liberally; how about you wait and try out your username for a bit first? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - per EVula, also the new username would be harder for other users who may wish to contact you to type. WjBscribe 22:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Obama 0wnage → 6qgqqgqgqgqq

 * Reason: it does not meet the guidelines for a username. Obama 0wnage (talk) 15:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you appear to have relatively few edits and the target username is not registered, you may make the new account yourself. Rudget   ( logs ) 15:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That name is highly confusing and does not meet the username guidelines either, and would likely be blocked at WP:UAA. I suggest re-reading the policy, and picking a different name. --MCB (talk) 22:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌ - inappropriate username. WjBscribe 22:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

VENU → VENU1963pp

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. 59.93.25.131 (talk) 09:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

LipStixremis → CoulditbethatIfoundausername?
71.236.56.181 (talk) 03:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: current user name is the name of the new entry I was creating in Wikipedia and the article was blocked and deleted. 71.236.56.181 (talk) 03:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * All requests are to be made by the account wanting renaming; this request was made by . Please log in and confirm this request, either here or at the original account's talk page. - Jéské   ( v^_^v  Mrrph-mph! ) 04:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * ❌. WjBscribe 21:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Children of God → Child of God

 * Reason: I wish it to be singular not plural. Children of God (talk) 14:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but that name is already taken. However, it has no edits, meaning it could be usurped, but as you have no edits to speak of, you might just be better off picking a new name. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Madesimplegroup → Made Simple Group

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Madesimplegroup (talk) 16:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Arconada → Jan Arkesteijn

 * Reason: Global logon. Arconada (talk) 17:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You'll have to delete your global account before you can be renamed.--§  Lights  talk  17:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * To bad. Forget about it, I will not bother. Regards. Arconada (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Alrighty. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 21:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Rudget  ( logs ) 17:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Apologies in advance as it's not my intention to pile on clerk notes, but doesn't this still qualify for usurpation? I'm not able to check for deleted edits, but currently January has no edits. &mdash; Maggot Syn 17:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: I think my old one was to childish . ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ (talk) 22:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This username is available, but just to check, was the misspelling intentional or did you mean User:The Lonely One (which is taken, but usurpable)? Wizardman  01:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I did mean The Lonely One my spelling is bad thanks for pointing it out or I might never had noticed XD ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Ashishbhatnagar72 → आशीष भटनागर
'''This is a continuation of an old request. Please do consider the request at the end, i.e. 11 July one..'''


 * Reason: I am having a/c with name Ashishbhatnagar72. Now in Hindi I had been using an a/c named आशीष भटनागर & then unified a/c there. So I want now to have a single a/c in eng wiki too, named आशीष भटनागर; rather than two existing a/cs.--आशीष भटनागर (talk) 00:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Now I think, no point lies in changing the username User:Ashishbhatnagar72 or merging it to User:आशीष भटनागर
 * ❌ The problem is that you have edited under two account names. Ashishbhatnagar72 & आशीष भटनागर (under SUL). As of date, we bureaucrats cannot merge the contributions of two accounts. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  13:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I request you to please ignore my contributions from the User:आशीष भटनागर name, & merge the same account to the User:Ashishbhatnagar72 name. I think there is no problem if I myself request to ignore the contributions of the Hindi named a/c & merge it to the Eng name a/c. Then afterwards, I may or may not try/be allowed for changing the name from Ashishbhatnagar72 to आशीष भटनागर.

& please do not delete my request before final decision.--आशीष भटनागर (talk) 03:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Nichalp has made the final decision here at WP:CHU. You may want to try requesting this as a usurpation. Kingturtle (talk) 13:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Am I right in understanding that what you want is the contributions of Ashishbhatnagar72 moved to आशीष भटनागर and those of आशीष भटनागर moved to Ashishbhatnagar72? I can do that for you if that is correct. WjBscribe 15:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Anetmod → Anetwatch

 * Reason: current username is not indicative of my true position concerning that website, but more rather one who watches than actually moderates.207.250.30.3 (talk) 23:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)Anetmod

Troy 07 → Troy

 * Reason: Reason username change: current username includes "07" because I registered my account one year ago, however, I think it would look better as just my nickname, which is "Troy". Besides, the difference is minor (although the date does kind of look a little clunky). ~ Troy (talk) 00:00, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * You must first log in with your existing account and notify us that you wish to rename the account. Entry reformatted. &mdash; Maggot Syn 04:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The name you have selected is clearly self-promotional. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, my website is non-commercial anyway -- i.e. I don't care how much traffic I get to it.  I don't want you to break any policies, but I don't see how this request requires such.

I am not attempting to use this for promotional reasons. The Gretna Theatre is an 85 year old open air theater in a historic area. It is part of a historic Chataqua community, and that is the reason for the desire to post content. Additionally, notable actors have crossed the stage such as Charleton Heston. Is there a way to create the page and correctly label it Gretna Theatre versus GretnaTheatre? I do not need two accounts to do this. Please help. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gretnatheatre (talk • contribs) 20:16, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, I am looking to write a bot - and I did not think that the "11" in my username would look particularly good on it ;) -- Blake  01  16:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
