HurleyPR → NigelHurley

 * Reason: Requested reason for renaming. HurleyPR (talk) 17:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)}}
 * Moved from WP:USURP. Also, are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? Regards, Javért ☆ 23:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌ Per non-response.  MBisanz  talk 14:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

SuiteSusan → Brewer Caldwell Property Management

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Needs to be a gerenic name so anyone in the company can edit the page if/when I no longer work here SuiteSusan (talk) 17:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌ Per WP:ORGNAME  MBisanz  talk 17:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Stubacca → Stuart

 * Reason: I'd like to change my username to my real name, and I see it's available. I'd have preferred just Stu, but that's taken. Stu   ’Bout ye!  11:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 11:10, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It does? I can't see any contributions or logs. Stu   ’Bout ye!  11:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * иιƒкч ? 12:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I already sign as Stu, and using Stubacca could potentially give away more about me than using Stuart anyway. Stu   ’Bout ye!  12:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The account does indeed exist, but it should be a breeze to usurp it. Head to WP:CHU/U and make a request. Incidentally, the SUL has not yet been claimed, but there are existing minor Stuart accounts on about a dozen wikimedia sites. --Dweller (talk) 11:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do, thanks. Stu   ’Bout ye!  11:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * per possible confusion with . Please choose a different name.  bibliomaniac 1  5  22:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Biniebot → Binniebot

 * Reason: Mistyped my username. Biniebot (talk) 16:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * - unless I am mistaken, this account is not that of an approved bot, and as such, the name you have currently and the name you have requested are both misleading. Please select a name without "bot" at the end.  Thanks.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * per above.  bibliomaniac 1  5  22:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * per above.  bibliomaniac 1  5  02:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Headbomb → Gaetan Landry

 * Reason: I want to "professionalize" my account. You can't place "User:Headbomb" on business cards without running into old coots who will take this as a sign that you're just some myspace kid. I'm aware of all the consequences and yadda yadda yadda that ensues from using your real name on the internet. Please do not make the rename immediatly, I just want confirmation that it is possible for now (I'd switch sometimes this week if possible); I need to check a few things before switching. Some questions: 1) Will all my userpage and subpages be moved to the new account or would they have to be moved manually? 2) Will all my old account settings be preserved, or do I need to re-enter emails and whatnots? Thanks. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * SoxBot (talk) 04:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * To answer your questions: 1) Yes, they will be automatically moved during the rename and, 2) All your settings, watchlist, email, etc. will be preserved. Regards, Javért ☆ 04:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Javert is correct. With your questions answered, would you like the rename to be done? — Anonymous Dissident  Talk 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not right now, but sometimes this week. I'll let you know when I'm ready for the switch. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Further you have over 30,000 edits, which does mean that there is a 50/50 chance a rename will break your account (usually some edits are not re-attributed, sometimes userrights or userpages need to be moved manually) that will require a developer to help fix. Just some knowledge.  MBisanz  talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * not done Headbomb will re-submit when ready.  MBisanz  talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't really see a need to "not done" this. Why can't it just sit here until he notes he's ready...? — Anonymous Dissident  Talk 07:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I suppose it could wait, I just figured if he is going to wait some indeterminate amount of time, we could clear off this request.  MBisanz  talk 06:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Been a week now, any updates?  MBisanz  talk 07:06, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Further on hold until this Friday.  MBisanz  talk 14:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've asked Headbomb to clarify the situation. It's been nearly two weeks since the original request so we need to sort this out, one way or another.  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:18, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the lack of feedback, I seem to have unwatched this page for some reason. I've decided that for the moment, it would be better if I created that account myself, and make redirects to User:Headbomb. This way I'll protect this placeholder account, and will be able to switch in the future if my situation changes. Unless this is not within policy? Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 02:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't really see a problem with it, myself, given that the target is likely not to be registered anyway. The redirects are up to you. The rename is either way. —  Anonymous Dissident  Talk 14:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Islam.elhariry → Islam.elhariry

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Islam.elhariry (talk) 09:59, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You requested the same name you already have. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:03, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Palestinian Waters → Yael

 * Reason: recommended by editor, and since I am not sure of policy yet I will leave it up to you guys to decide:) Palestinian Waters (talk) 07:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * . Sorry. The account already exists on en: wikipedia. It has no edits, so you could probably usurp it by logging a request at WP:CHU/U, but that might be complicated by the fact that a German and a Dutch user both have slightly better claims to the (currently unclaimed) SUL. All of which is a long-winded way of saying that you might be best off choosing again and requesting here. --Dweller (talk) 10:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

LCScience → LCScienceJen

 * Reason: current name reads like a group, it is just me- so want my user name more personal LCScience (talk) 15:49, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The target name isn't much better, and still seems to violate ORGNAME. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 16:30, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Eventures → NEW

 * Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Visibilitymag (talk) 18:01, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Malformed requested submitted by Visibilitymag. Appears to be requesting "Eventures", which is the name of a company (Eventures, LLC) which appears to have something to do with visibilitymagazine.com, but I haven't looked into it much. Useight (talk) 19:11, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * ❌ — Anonymous Dissident  Talk 00:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

TheHeels → The Heels Show

 * Reason: I was given the wrong signup information and need to get it corrected as via my boss. Also, the previous username is not showing any results when entries are googled or searched for online. We'd just like to keep everything related and in a steady flow. TheHeels (talk) 22:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Requesting user blocked as per username policy. Useight (talk) 01:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Dutch weismann → Dutch Weismann

Www.slush.ie → Www.slush.ie

 * Reason: I typed a capital W instead of a small w when I was typing in my desired username. Www.slush.ie (talk) 23:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌ It is not possible to have a leading lowercase letter in the username.  MBisanz  talk 00:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

ElvenAmerican → Christian Benvenuto
Current: ElvenAmerican (I do not edit frequently, so I don't know the usertag trick) New: Christian Benvenuto —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.11.96.2 (talk) 13:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC) Reason: I want something that's more easy to remember, I know the conditions of using a real name on the internet. Yes, I do and will understand it. I've used my realname in several internet forums, and I've become a valued member in such communities. However, I am not a clerk or an adminstrator, so I will leave it to you. I also see that my realname is availiable, but I do not want to create another account in the fear of being accused as a sockpuppeteer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.11.96.2 (talk) 13:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * We can't perform the rename unless you log in as the account. However, you also don't have any real edits (just creating your userpage); you can just as easily register the new account and go about your business. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

 * ❌ Conflicts with superior claim of french wiki user who was recently active.  MBisanz  talk 00:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

WrightHennepinElectric → ZWHElec
Note: on the user's talk page, there is a note saying "I noticed that your username may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because It sounds like a role account which we don't allow" (placed by Toddst1 at 13:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)). --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 13:56, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Reason: Name sounded too official and too long. WrightHennepinElectric (talk) 13:50, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ❌ as this is still a company name. Please see WP:ORGNAME. Angela. 13:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

SedonaTemple → Healing Retreats

 * Reason: Used company name instead of generic. SedonaTemple (talk) 15:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Methinks there'd still be an issue with your name being promotional. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 20:27, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly, and a Google search of "healing retreats" brings of Sedona with the sixth result. You may be required to select a different username, but the bureaucrats will make the final call on that. Useight (talk) 14:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Please select a username that cannot be construed as promotional to your workplace. Also, be sure never to make edits that can be so construed (see WP:COI). Kingturtle (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

 * ❌. Name is already taken and I think your account is a bit new to ask for an existing account name as Intelligentsium proposes.

Michael.n.meyer → Unactive.account

 * Reason: meant to change username on other account and accidentally created this one instead would like to use this username for previous account. Michael.n.meyer (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Forgive me, this is a minor challenge to my small and tired mind! So you created this account but you have a "previous account" called "unactive.account"? Could you just confirm what you're asking?  The Rambling Man (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I may be wrong, but my interpretation is this: Since there is no account called "Unactive.account", I assume he has another account, with some other name (we'll call it User:XYZ), that he actually uses. He wants to usurp User:Michael.n.meyer with User:XYZ, but to first free it up, he's changing that username to User:Unactive.account. Useight (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
