Fiŋch → Jaktfalk
(I mainly contribute to Wiktionary) Fiŋch (talk) 09:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 09:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Reason: Request to change username to remove unnecessary use of <ŋ>. "Finch" is already taken and based on Finnish Wikipedia. I use "jaktfalk" in most other online spaces, and the English Wikipedia account by this name has a single edit from 2009.

Adam Black GB → Adam Black

 * Datestamp: 01:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

A person in Georgia → Filmgoer

 * Datestamp: 18:00, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Reason: To remove 'location' from the username, increase anonymity, and pinpoint a topic of interest. A person in Georgia (talk) 18:00, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:11, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Mark Inym → Inym

 * Datestamp: 00:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Reason: I was told to post my request on this page after attempting to rename my account through the "Global user account rename request form", but being redirected here as it is too similar to the account named "Inyrn". The reason for my request is increased anonymity. Mark Inym (talk) 00:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The requested username "Inym" is not registered. Please see WP:CHU/S instead. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mark Inym, please submit a new request at WP:CHU/S. This venue is for usurpation requests, but since the username you want isn't registered, it falls under a simple rename request and should be posted at WP:CHU/S instead. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:14, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer I already posted my request to WP:CHU/S but was told to post here as it is too similar to the account registered as "inyrn". Mark Inym (talk) 05:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * M:Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/122674. @Cabayi, The account has not been used for 14 years, and has never been edited. I would think that there is no problem in changing the username, that the accounts are only similar (m and n), and not quite identical. What do you think? Neriah (talk) 07:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , no objections, though I don't think the requested username achieves 's objective of "increased anonymity". Cabayi (talk) 08:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Cabayi It may seem odd, but I'd prefer to not have the name "Mark" associated with my account as I've recently had problems with people linking it to my real life identity. Mark Inym (talk) 21:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.&#124;My Contribs.) 23:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @GrayStorm Thank you, I'm aware of that, but would like to continue to use my account. However, if for some reason renaming my account is not possible, I understand. Mark Inym (talk) 03:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ Inym, I went ahead and approved your request. Even though this isn’t the usual place for such requests, the new username was very similar to an existing one, so it wasn’t a problem. Happy editing! – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
