 * I'm just off to block this user for having a promotional username - this change would make that promotion worse. --Dweller (talk) 12:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: The name resulted in confusion because I use it for my e-mail address. AndesEbla (talk) 01:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 01:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: I want to drop the "S".  Caden  is cool  02:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * SoxBot VI (talk) 02:45, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That account has been inactive since 2006. What's the problem?  Caden  is cool  02:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As has no valuable edits, you can usurp the account; just head over to Changing username/Usurpations and follow the instructions. EVula // talk //  &#9775;  // 02:57, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I don't think so. My name is Caden. That's my birth name and I'm not changing it to Camden on here. Please change it to "Caden" if you can. Thanks.  Caden  is cool  03:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "Caden" is a registered user, so the only way to rename to that would be through WP:CHU/U. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Listed at WP:CHU/U.  bibliomaniac 1 5  The annual review... 03:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Julian changed EVula's original post above and that is why my reply to her now makes no sense. He didn't make a note of that, which is strange. Anyway, she told me the name "Camden" was available but I don't want that username. I've requested my username change for "Caden" at WP:CHU/U.  Caden  is cool  04:06, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Though I'm a he, not a she, I did indeed make a typo when I typed "Camden." My bad. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 08:46, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Caden, in answer to your question "What's the problem", because the username you want is already taken, we need to ask that user if they are okay with you taking over the name. If we don't hear back from the user within a week, or if the user says it is ok, then we can make the change. Kingturtle (talk) 11:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

AgoyMaan → AnnaNaam

 * Reason: I am requesting a name change because my first username did not make sense. This is my first time dealing with Wikipedia and I didn't realize it would be important to have a name others could relate to. AgoyMaan (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 02:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: My original username did not relate to the type of articles I will be posting Wikijounal (talk) 18:27, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 18:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For starters, your username does not need to reflect the type of articles you'll be editing. Secondly, usernames can't be the same names as companies per our username policy; there's no way we'd rename you "Wikimedia", of all things. Sorry. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 17:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I concur with not done because he can just create the new account. Having a resume-like userpage is not grounds for denial however. Andre (talk) 23:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It is if that's the only edits he's made to Wikipedia aside from rename requests. -Jeremy (v^_^v Cardmaker) 00:06, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Reason: My main account is on the french wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Hadrien) where I have quite a lot of contribution, and am member of the arbitration committee. the Account User:Hadrien has already been created, but has only be used 4 times in january 2004, to put an external link to google map.

 * SoxBot VI (talk) 15:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * With the requested name strongly implying Mildmay Mission Hospital whose "roots extend back to 1866," a case could be made that that name as well is promotional. I'd like another bureaucrat to weigh in on that. Even if viewed acceptable, you would still need to review WP:COI which discusses how wikipedians should edit articles to which they have a strong relationship that may pose a conflict of interest. -- Avi (talk) 15:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Themaeeandhisfriend → Shannon

 * Reason: My old username is hard for me and others to remember; when I created my account I didn't know I'd become such an avid contributor. Besides, I like the renaming I propose.

Note: I have around 200 more edits more than the limit of 5000 for changing username. Is that okay? <font face="Mistral" color="#008080" size="5">themaee talk  20:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The bot means "Shannon" already exists; however, you can still take that name via WP:USURP. :) – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Clearly, when I took a look at the link to User:Shannon, that username has neither a user page, talk page, or any contribs. But how does it exist? <font face="Mistral" color="#008080" size="5">themaee talk  20:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the account itself was already created, but was never used. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 21:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For informational purposes, the request was put in at WP:USURP, here. Also, the username change edit limit is far higher than 5,000; I believe it to be 200,000 edits. Useight (talk) 21:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Given the SUL issues with the username "Shannon", you're not likely to get this unless you are the German Wikipedia account holder. Sorry. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 03:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh, I get it now. I'll just wait until ClueBot VI is fixed and I'll use WP:USURP to change username. Cheers, <font face="Mistral" color="#008080" size="5">themaee talk  05:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * With the advent of SUL, individuals can have the same username across projects. Basically, while the English Wikipedia account called Shannon has zero edits and could be usurped, the individual with the username Shannon on the German Wikipedia has first dibs on it. Useight (talk) 06:15, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * No, I am afraid the name isn't available regardkess of whether the German Wikipedia account holder responds - they have created a "global account", which means that they have reserved the name on across all Wikimedia Projects.

C_1 → C1

 * Reason: My current user name has an underscore, which makes it difficult to log in from my mobile phone, which does not have this key on its keyboard. C 1 (talk) 14:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot VI (talk) 14:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The MediaWiki software treats underscores as spaces, and vice versa, so "C 1" should produce the same result. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 15:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. We have a user with that name already, but I think you'd find us prepared to usurp it for you if you register a request at WP:USURP. Other alternatives: log in using a space instead of an underscore, like Julian suggests, or choose another name to switch to. Up to you. --Dweller (talk) 22:11, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I had checked already listusers, but because the other account had no joining date beside it, I thought that meant it didn't exist (clearly I was wrong).

 * Reason: I have been asked to change the user name. I am Miss S. Beauvais, Deputy Executive Director of the IMBER International Project Office (IPO). I am developing the Wiki page regarding IMBER as Deputy Executive Director of IMBER and not for personal reasons. That's why I have used IMBERIPO as username. But I agree to use my own name S.

Hello, firstly just want to say that i am not using this wiki page to promote any business, but thought quite interested to put some information regarding the software up as i have done some research into this interesting software. secondly, why i created this page, it is because i saw a page created by tableau_software(username), and the user is using TABLEAU_SOFTWARE for the page regarding TABLEAU products, why would they be allowed and I am not when i am not even from the organisation. Thank you very much —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geowise (talk • contribs) 15:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC) Forgot to confirm in my last reply, that i have read WP:COI and understand it applies regardless of username.

I am unprepared to grant this request, but will not deny it. I'm happy for another Bureaucrat to review it and make the call. It's possible I've got it wrong. --Dweller (talk) 12:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
