Mohammad abrar wadud → Mohammad.abrar.wadud

 * Reason: My username looks odd as the first word starts with a capital but the next two don't. I did that by mistake when I was creating the account. My new choice is is better, which I think you will understand. Mohammad abrar wadud (talk) 08:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 08:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * - Wikipedia is unable to have first letters be lowercase. However, to make the first letter appear lowercase add to your userpage. Also you may want to customize your signature. Or we could change your username to Mohammad Abrar Wadud. Kingturtle (talk) 03:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * no reply. Kingturtle (talk) 18:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Uker → UKER

 * Reason: I have had a curious mishap. Seems like I've been inadvertently using two accounts with the same username, only diferring in capitalization, a problem that originated in Wikipedia letting me register two different accounts to the same email address. I have been actively using both accounts in two different PCs and would like to move over to using only 'UKER', but I obviously don't want to lose track of my contributions. Can you do this while reassigning all my contributions to the new account? Thanks in advance. uKER (talk) 13:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 13:30, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There is unfortunately no way to merge both accounts. You have to simply use the preferred one and leave the other one as a doppelganger account (and add a note to your userpage that you edit(ed) using that account as well). Regards  So Why  15:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Apollo Augustus Koo → 蘇州宇文宙武

 * SoxBot (talk) 02:45, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * How could I do? --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 02:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You own both 'Apollo Augustus Koo' and '蘇州宇文宙武' correct? And you want to rename 'Apollo Augustus Koo' to '蘇州宇文宙武'? (please note it is not possible to merge accounts) -- Chris 03:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I and User:Apollo Augustus Koo are the same person, I want to rename Apollo Augustus Koo to 蘇州宇文宙武. Can you delete 蘇州宇文宙武 then move Apollo Augustus Koo to 蘇州宇文宙武? --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 03:06, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, because then the edits you made as 蘇州宇文宙武 until now will be lost. You can have that one renamed to something else, then rename Apollo Augustus Koo to 蘇州宇文宙武 but I'd say it's easier if you simply used 蘇州宇文宙武 from now on and have a link on your userpage informing people that you have previously used "Apollo Augustus Koo" as a username. As Chris says, there is no way of merging both users and as such, any renaming is quite unnecessary. Regards  So Why  19:41, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I got it. I gave up then. I'll continue to use User:Apollo Augustus Koo as a sock puppetry. Thank you all. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 02:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't you say 蘇州宇文宙武 is your unified username? As such, you can simply stop using User:Apollo Augustus Koo and use User:蘇州宇文宙武 from now on, can't you? Regards  So Why  09:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I know. I haven't use User:Apollo Augustus Koo for a long time, and perhaps I won't use it any more. Thank you very much. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 10:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌ Per above. -- Avi (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

CURRENT → NEW

 * Reason: Actually, I don't know where this request fits in but it seems that my username has taken 2 different forms: TommyT & Tommyt. I wanted to get rid of TommyT. Also, I'm in the WikiProject Films group under TommyT & I wanted to be in there under Tommyt. Will that carry over? Or can you give me an idea of how to do it myself?

 * Reason: i need to change it. Coyotebeauty (talk) 21:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 21:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You do not need to change your username to publish an article. You just need to add the content to Bunga (TV series) to do so. Before doing so, you might want to read Your first article to avoid making unnecessary mistakes. Regards  So Why  22:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think what you really want to do is move your talk page to the article space if that is what you want to you could push the button that reads move or ask for help to make that move. Also, without references there is a chance that this page might get deleted or nominated for deletion.  You might want to review WP's policies/guidelines concerning reliable sources, notability and not a crystal ball.--- Balloonman  NO! I'm Spartacus! 19:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Are you aware that you are advised against writing about yourself on Wikipedia?

Is this fair? Please reconsider. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The argument that the existence of similar usernames indicates that this username should be permitted is a logical fallacy. Also summed up, albeit in an article-related fashion, at WP:OSE. I agree with the decision not to perform this rename; however, my take is kind of the opposite of EVula's: the username would more offensive to those who do not subscribe to a particular religion.

 * I strongly object to approving Supreme Deliciousness's name change to Supreme Allah. This would be grossly offensive and tantamount to blasphemy!  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 11:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The username would be very offensive to christian or muslim arabs, as it implies that the user sees himself as "Supreme Allah". I don't see why you'd want that username anyway, which would undermine your neutrality in any related discussion. Most of the usernames you referred to have 1-10 edits, you on the other hand would be more involved and pose more problems. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Grahamzilch → Rannpháirtí anaithnid

 * Reason: I left Wikipedia following an unhappy incident a over a year ago. I returned about two months ago - but signed up for a new user name (I should have just renamed the old one, I know). I have now clocked up about 1,700 edits with the new account (Rannpháirtí_anaithnid). I would like the edits from the old account (Grahamzilch) reattributed to the new account (Rannpháirtí_anaithnid) and the old account deleted. I'm logging in under the old account solely for the purposes of making this request. Many thanks. Grahamzilch (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 01:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, accounts cannot be merged nor deleted. You may be able to WP:USURP one account with the other, but I haven't looked into the number of edits or their GDFL-compliance. Useight (talk) 05:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The old account has approx. 6,500 edits. The new one has approx. 1,700 edits (that's the one I'm posting from now). The reason I ask is because Requests for administrator attention says this is the place to " Reassign edits or make name changes." Maybe that's a remnant from the distant past (when IP edits could be reassigned to a user name).
 * It's my own fault, I know. So, if it ain't possible to reassign the edits, I'll just have to live with it. Thanks. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 10:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Edits can be reassigned to a new name as part of a name change. At this point, the software does not permit assigning edits to a pre-existing name, sorry. -- Avi (talk) 16:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In theory, through a series of usurpations, you could get the 6500 edits moved to the account that currently has 1700, if you prefer that name, but you won't be able to get all 8200 to the same account. Useight (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks to you both. It's my own fault anyway.
 * This may seem strange - I don't know what software you have - but would it be possible to assign both to a new account (i.e. "simultaneously" reassign edits from the old account and the current account to a wholly new account)? Otherwise, I think it would be a developer job ... and I really don't think my couple of edits called that ;-)
 * Much thanks regardless and sorry for pestering you with requests for something I messed up on. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 23:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Without developer intervention, unfortunately not. The software only allows one-to-one assignments, and this would requre many-to-one. Sorry. So, what would you like to do under the restrictions of the software? -- Avi (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Let's park it. I'll give consideration to contacting a developer through the IRC channel. In the mean time, do you think that there would be any problem with the "Grahamzilch" account editing that's account's user and talk page with a redirect and note to the "Rannpháirtí anaithnid" account? And placing a note on "Rannpháirtí anaithnid" user page to the guist that I previously edited under the "Grahamzilch" account? --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 10:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all. We also have FormerAccount which may be appropriate. -- Avi (talk) 05:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

If in the future Himalayan Explorer ever becomes subject of debate it won't ring a bell with a lot people. So a new name I think is appropriate. Don't worry about it affecting sister accounts, my current Dr. Blofeld does too. Besides which the Himalayas and Tibet are a special part of the world to me...
