 * Is there a reason that simply not editing is insufficient? As WP:VANISH states, "Vanishing [...] is not a right", and we generally don't process a rename request as a vanshing request unless asked (which your initial post did not mention). You only have twenty edits total, hence the assumption that you could just stop editing. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

The name Dryopithecus is on your list, but it appears not to have a creation date!. I think it may be the result of an earlier, abortive attempt of mine to create an account on Wikipedia. I may have created it on another Wikimedia site, but I've no idea which. It's also possible that someone else has created this account but they've never used it. I suggest that the existing Dryopithecus could be deleted, so my account, currently Dendropithecus, could then take that name. I'm sorry to be a pain. Please help!

Not even any administrator in Wikipedia can do that or is able to do that?

No bureucrat, steward, or anyone else can do it (admins do not have access to the renameuser tool) - it's just not possible in MediaWiki. The closest one can get is usurpation, but that shunts the contribs of the targeted account to a random username (it does not merge them) and will not be done on accounts with GFDL-significant edits.

-- -- -- → 1 2 3 4
This name was already approved as a rename by Avi. See the previous rename in the archive. I also clerked that. Personally, i feel that if a bureaucrat approves the rename to User:-- -- -- it is a bit much for an admin to then block the user and force a 2nd rename. Nowhere in WP:USERNAME does it state that -- -- -- is a violation. A non-English user name is hardly reason to block someone. It is Morse code for "M M M". <font face="Georgia"><font color="#ff69b4">delirious &amp; <font color="#ff69b4">lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 21:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Follow-up comment: It is the lack of any links in your signature that is causing the greatest concern. Without any links it simply appears to be a typo. As you can see from above, SineBot is following you around Wikipedia marking all of your signatures as "unsigned comment added by -- -- --" so that other people will know it is a valid user name and not a typo. This general comment is now in a few places with the hope that you will see one of them. The other problem was the type of linking that JC and myself used at the top of your talk page. I didn't realise that it would imply a bureaucrat had issue with your new user name once the rename had been done.

Buggie111 → Four Tildes (except in symbolic format)
Thanks, I have been wondering about that. Buggie111 (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I suspect it's been disabled at the software level, because it would cause all sorts of problems. Note, for example, that nobody would be able to link to your userpage or talkpage, not even yourself.  (Try making a link to User:~ if you're skeptical; not even   will help.)  Note, though, that usernames such as 0 are in fact allowed.  You could technically give yourself a name like ​, which has a zero width space in the middle, but my guess is that even though it's technically possible it would be disallowed because the everyday user will not have a zero width space on their keyboard, and it would cause no end of trouble for people who don't see the space and assume that your name is  ~ . -- <B>Soap</B> Talk/Contributions 16:01, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

You are free to use one account or the other, but the edits made under each account can not be merged.

 * The "Martín Coba Pulido" username already exists on ptwiki, and they have many more edits than you. If you ever wanted to create a unified login, you would need to change your username again. If the account on the ptwiki is yours, please make an edit in English on the talk page there and then post the diff here. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:55, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This would appear to be a rename in another language and having the corresponding English account here renamed based on this page move log from PTWP. Also see pt:Wikipedia:Renomeação_de_conta The pt:User:Wexeb account was re-created on PTWP after the rename was done there per the usual impersonation reasons. This user's home wiki was PTWP before the rename there detached his home wiki from the Wexeb SUL. According to the PTWP rename the user is changing from an anonymous name to his real name. My Portuguese is not great but i am pretty sure on this.
 * Also this user is blocked on ESWP as a sockpuppet but my Spanish is not good enough to read all of that. It seems to have something to do with a comment on a YouTube account and the user name "Wexeb" appearing in various places on the web and different eswp users claiming it to be themselves. But then this user is blocked as the sockpuppet of a different user on Commons. . Yet that user that Wexeb is accused of being a sockpuppet of is not blocked on Commons. It might be handy to have someone who is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and has access to deleted pages and CU logs review this on a cross-wiki level. From what i comprehend of the languages and with a little help from Google Translate this seems to have the potential for being a huge mix up. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#ff69b4">delirious  &amp; <font color="#ff69b4">lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 23:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, if you have logged in as the new name, even accidentally, that means you can use it; since you don't seem to have many edits under this name, why not just switch to the Hebrew name yourself? You can't "bump off" an account by renaming to it, if that's what you want; you would still have to rename אור גוטמן to something new if you renamed OrGuttman to אור גוטמן. -- <B>Soap</B> Talk/Contributions 21:20, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
