Wikipedia:Changing username/Unfulfilled/2009/January

D2i_inc → Naplesmarketing

 * Reason: I want to keep all my user name and passwords the same so I don't have to keep track of them and can remember them easily. I find myself spending more time requesting passwords and recovering user names than I should. Please grant my request. D2i inc (talk) 11:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 15:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * naplesmarketing is promotional in nature. Please select a different name that is not promotional. Kingturtle (talk) 21:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

FishingNorthernOntario → Fishing Northern Ontario

 * Reason: Search querry is meaningless with no spaces between each of the 3 keywords. FishingNorthernOntario (talk) 18:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 18:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fishing Northern Ontario is promotional in nature. Please select a non-promotional username. Kingturtle (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

KillerCroc101 → Byron the Horror

 * Reason: I like that username better. KillerCroc101 (talk) 04:25, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 04:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Judging from your history of vandalism here, I don't see why we should take the extra time to fulfill this request. Kingturtle (talk) 15:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

NMusic03 → Nikki Martinez

 * Reason: I decided that my radio name would be better to use for my page. NMusic03 (talk) 01:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 01:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Promotional usernames are explicitly disallowed and are blocked on sight. Furthermore, you appear to be conflicted; bureaucrats generally will not rename such an account if the new name is tied to the conflict. -Jéské Couriano (v^_^v) 07:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Promotional in nature. Kingturtle (talk) 16:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Byeboer_waByeboerNEW → Byeboer

 * Reason: Sync with other wikis. Byeboer (talk) 13:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 13:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * User:Byeboer exists (it looks like it was created automatically upon visiting this wiki) and has one edit.  Matt (  Talk  )  05:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * : The name is already taken. As the account has only one edit, it could possibly be usurped; to do so, place a request at Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 15:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm able to edit the page so could be part of the wiki single user name. Sorry for the trouble. Byeboer (talk) 18:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Winterwater → Winterkind

 * Reason: No warning about automatic registration to already used projects. Winterwater (talk) 17:42, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 17:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate what you mean? I assume it has something to do with the single unified log-in... -Jéské Couriano (v^_^v) 07:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I originally registered with the target name at Commons + simple, where no warning was given about automatic registration across projects. Over here at en&de Wikipedia one also was notified after registering, leaving me with a new account on en&de-wikiprojects. So I hoped it would be somehow possible to move/rename/merge the new account(s?) on en&de.wiki to the name I already used on Commons; as the Commons-account at some time already registered me across projects without me knowing. (P.S.: In case it is important, as I don't know if the en and de accounts are 'the same' or separate: I also asked for a rename on de.wiki.) Winterwater (talk) 15:49, 2 January 2009 (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) 04:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Jimwalez → Vivalavida

 * Reason: moderator concern for being too much like jimbo wales' name. Jimwalez (talk) 17:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 17:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There's already a user with that name; is there another that you'd like to have? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 17:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

no response after a week. — Rlevse • Talk  • 19:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Des Bois → Karen D. Hunter

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. I need to have my name attached to my bio, but don't know how to do it.
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 22:06, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You appear to be creating an article about yourself as your userpage, and that's why you want the rename. Such vanity pages aren't allowed; do you plan on contributing to the encyclopedia, or just to work on your vanity page? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 22:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Never got back to us about the question. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:27, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

amspock → A M Spock

 * Reason: More accurate. Amspock (talk) 23:38, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 23:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "A M Spock" already exists; given the similarity between the edits, is this you? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 23:43, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Never responded to the question. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Mtchong → Michael Tchong

 * Reason: More transparent user name. Mtchong (talk) 19:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 19:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Assuming this is your real name, are you aware of the implications of using your real name?  Matt (  Talk  )  04:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No edits outside of CHU and his own userspace. Just register a new account. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:29, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

CURRENT → NEW
Not really a rename of an account, but is there anyway to retrieve an old account's password that does not have an e-mail address apparently associated with it?
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. 78.151.213.198 (talk) 15:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 15:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. If you can prove that the account is yours (committed identity etc.) then probably, otherwise no. If you have any more questions ask at WP:Help desk. Regards,  Matt (  Talk  )  01:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

ak azad → abul kalam azad
current name is ak azad new user name is abul kalam azad
 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. 218.186.12.202 (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 00:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The name that you're requesting (Abul kalam azad) already exists. If you're Abul kalam azad and you'd like to change your username from that, please log in to that account and leave a message here. However because that account doesn't have any edits, it's unlikely the name change request would be completed (because you can easily just create a new account and stop using the other one). Please let us know here what you want to do. Regards, <font size="2" face="Verdana"> Matt (  Talk  )  02:09, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Please choose a different name, per above.  bibliomaniac 1  5  21:54, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

PNYUSA → Webro1985

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. PNYUSA (talk) 19:24, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Webro too could be considered promotional. How about something not related to your field? Kingturtle (talk) 19:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Promotional - and editor did not respond after a week. Kingturtle (talk) 12:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Bijouworld → ChiGirl

 * Reason: Old username erroneously suggested COI. Blocking admin granted ublock to change username.  See Bijoworld discussion page for more info. Bijou World (talk) 01:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 01:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * <font size="2" face="Verdana"> Matt (  Talk  )  10:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just ignore the SoxBot report and request at WP:USURP. Since your current name is against username policy, I think we can make an exception. Either that, or choose a new name, please.  bibliomaniac 1  5  18:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Manuela81 → Manuela Oliveira

 * Reason: prefered. Manuela81 (talk) 15:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Just create the account you want.  bibliomaniac 1  5  18:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Pschology101 → Psychology101

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming: Misspelled Pschology101 (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 20:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌. Pschology101 has no edits and Psychology101 already exists. Angela. 12:51, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Although 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) 13:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Dannybrattan → Higgles

 * Reason: More anonymity required. Dannybrattan (talk) 09:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 09:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there another username that you'd like? As the bot pointed out, Higgles is already taken. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:47, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please choose a different name.  bibliomaniac 1  5  17:32, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: Corporate branding. Idirect (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 21:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * , violation of username policy regarding self-promotion. Andre (talk) 01:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hendrick4life → Dynex

 * Reason: Username has caused conflict on other sites I use it on, People are commenting on my edits. I did not realize how important it is. 76.17.31.1 (talk) 14:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 14:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please confirm that you are Hendrick4life. Kingturtle (talk) 16:09, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: because I want them to know my real name. Halila74 (talk) 09:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you aware of the implications of using your real name on Wikipedia? Angela. 11:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


 * SoxBot VI (talk) 11:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You have no edits outside of this request; just register under the new name. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 03:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Secrets → Midway

 * Reason: I use this name on other sites, so would be easier. Thanks. Secrets (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The requested username already exists, but it has no edits, so it can potentially be usurped. Useight (talk) 02:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * SoxBot VI (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just said that. Useight (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You make beating the bot seem like a sport.  bibliomaniac 1  5  06:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Gotta keep it fun. I was also more concise than the bot. On a more important note, Secrets has made the usurpation request. Useight (talk) 06:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please request usurpation.  bibliomaniac 1  5  06:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Tuulist → Tuuli

 * Reason: Easier to remember, not taken yet Tuuli (talk) 08:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 07:12, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Discard this account and create a new one. --Dweller (talk) 17:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Openfield creative → Openfield Creative

 * Reason: I would like both words to be capitalized. Openfield creative (talk) 20:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 20:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think your username would comply with our username policy, because it sounds like it would be used for promotional purposes.  bibliomaniac 1  5  02:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

npkno → cobretti4

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. 24.126.117.183 (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC) bad choice.
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 14:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * appears to be identical to the one above, except for the capitalization, but starting usernames with a lower case is not possible. The request above was already done, also this request was signed by an IP.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 14:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * npkno, you are now cobretti4. The request was already fulfilled. Kingturtle (talk) 14:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I moved this request from WP:USURP, original request here. Useight (talk) 18:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Porsche007 is freely available and Expartners has no edits other than the request here. Just discard the old account and create the new. --Dweller (talk) 10:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Oxxxo → Oxxo

 * Reason: Change Oxxxo to Oxxo because of harmonisation and unification of accounts (fr and it). Oxxx  O  10:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 10:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Presumably, you control the fr: and it: accounts. Please 1) login under whichever account you use most 2) Use your preferences to take control of the SUL. 3) post on that account's talk page that you wish this change to be made at en:. 4) Login at en: under Oxxxo and place a new request at WP:CHU/SUL, including a diff to the edit made on that talk page. We should then be able to do this - even easier if you also control the Commons account. --Dweller (talk) 10:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Oral Thrush → Uvula

 * Reason: I originally wanted the name Uvula, and I've noticed that User:Uvula has very few edits in Wikipedia and hasn't edited anything since 2007. I'd like my account to be changed to Uvula if possible. Oral Thrush (talk) 01:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Kyng386 → Kyng

 * Reason: to have the same username across wikipedia in other languages. It is possible, that I created account Kyng myself, but forgot the password and created an new one. --Kyng386 (talk) 10:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC) Kyng386 (talk) 10:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 21:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What username would you like? I'm not sure why you'd need to change your username to create an article about someone. As far as I can see the deletion of the article Sarey Savy has nothing to do with your username. <font size="2" face="Verdana"> Matt (  Talk  )  04:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Amineone (talk) 01:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 01:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I did a minor fix of this request to standardize it. Original post can be found here. Useight (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there such a thing as the "Swords and fighting council"? --Dweller (talk) 11:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I could not find any such organization on the web. However, even if it is not an actual organization, I am reluctant to make the change because the word Council implies that there would be more than one person using the account. Kingturtle (talk) 12:54, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I had the same reservations last night, but I was heading off to bed so I didn't bother saying anything. That's three 'crats with concerns, so I'm marking this as Not Done. Amineone, feel free to request a different username. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 16:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * You made the correct decision, IMHO. If privacy was an issue, maybe this would have some time sensitivity - but Caden's last name is not in the username. I see no reason for this to be delayed until he is free of any topic bans. Kingturtle (talk) 22:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

How long do I have to be a member before assuming the account?  It looks like they had a short career as a one time vandal just over ten months ago and nothing since: | Talk:MikeyMoose --Spankr (talk) 00:58, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know it is up to the bureaucrats' discretion. Bureaucrats, please correct me if I am wrong. Useight (talk) 01:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 20:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Your userpage should be about you, as a contributor to Wikipedia, and not about your church. Also, your account should be yours, used only by you (a single person), and not by various people "speaking for" your church. If you think your church is notable enough for an article in Wikipedia, please create the article in the main (article) namespace (see Namespace for details), and not on your userpage. If you'd like to be renamed to something other than the name of your church -- your name, or your favorite nickname, or a clever handle of some kind -- let me know. &mdash; Dan | talk 21:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: I made a mistake while registering, my page has a title User:887mhz and I would like it to be Nyota.I was told about COI/promotion on my page so I have made some changes,but I am still wrong, since my last request was denied, please let me know what to change, thank you. 887mhz (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 22:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not just that your userpage is being used to promote this radio station, the username you want also promotes that radio station. Please see the policy at WP:IU, regarding promotional usernames listed as a type of inappropriate username. This request also has the added problem that User:Nyota already exists and has edited. Useight (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * While the Nyota user name has made edits, it is only one minor edit in 2007, and could potentially be WP:USURPed, but if it is seen as being usurped for promotional purposes, it will be denied.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 22:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As Balloonman has stated, take it to WP:USURP. Kingturtle (talk) 03:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

887mhz → N

 * Reason: thank you, I read the pages requested and I still do not see where I went wrong.I built my page looking at similar pages on wikipedia and the have almost the same content as mine. Could you give me any suggestions so that I can change and make my page legal in order to attempt asking to takeover the name Nyota.thank you 887mhz (talk) 23:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 23:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry this has been so complicated. First, your page shouldn't be at User:887mhz. That is supposed to be the place where you write something about yourself. If you want to write about a radio station, it should probably be at Nyota Radio Télévision. You'll notice that link is red because the page doesn't exist yet. The material about the radio station should go there. However, the wording has to be neutral, which you have worked on, with edits such as this, and the article must give evidence as to why this particular radio station is notable. If these criteria aren't met, the page could be deleted. Useight (talk) 23:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to keep doing this, but User:N is taken. Kingturtle (talk) 03:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 11:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Or if you want to keep your account history tied to Alessa, make the request on WP:USURP to have the account usurped by the new account, then log into both accounts and sign the request. (Continue to use the old account to make any edit changes, you don't want to create any GDLF significant edits with the Alessa account... but based upon the fact that the Alessa account is 3 years old, I'm guessing it isn't you.  In which case you can place a usurp request to get it.)--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 16:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
