Current requests
DuranDuran → Innuendo
- Current name: DuranDuran (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Innuendo (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: I have had many requests to change my user nane as it causes confusuion. ˉˉDuranDuran╦╩ 15:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Robot clerk's notes: DuranDuran does not have any history of being renamed in the logs HBC RenameClerkBot 08:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think Innuendo is appropriate, which is why you haven't been renamed. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 16:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not in the slighest. they originally chose a name still with Duran Duran in. Innuendo is fine as a name. Secretlondon 14:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think Innuendo is appropriate, which is why you haven't been renamed. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 16:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 19:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Innuendo seems fine to be usurped if you want to apply. Otherwise come up with another name. Secretlondon 14:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- response required or should be at WP:CHU/U -- Cecropia 21:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Mindys12345 → Adam.J.W.C.
- Current name: Mindys12345 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Adam.J.W.C. (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: 1. Mindy is a girls name. I didn't realise at the begining there would be some kind of page history where the name would show up every time you make and edit and also didn't realise at the begining that there would be talk pages and stuff like that as well. Also Mindys is the name of my dog now I would like my own name with initials at the end. --AdamJWC 02:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC) aka --HumphryTheFunLovingFellow 07:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Robot clerk's notes: Mindys12345 does not have any history of being renamed in the logs HBC RenameClerkBot 08:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: This request was made previously and declined by both Secretlondon and Nichalp, see archive entry. The objectionable content appears to have now been removed - there is still the issue that the block log entry won't be moved during the rename. WjBscribe 13:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- The user has on their userpage that they want to be known as User:Wonder-Contributor temporarily. *If* we rename this person they are ONLY being renamed once. They only have one entry on their blocklog so I'm not too concerned with that, and all the racist material has left their userpage. Secretlondon 14:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- Twice rejected and Secretlondon did not promote again -- Cecropia 21:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Historicsatrts → Historychanges
- Current name: Historicsatrts (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

- Please state your reason, and request it while logged in to the account in question. Warofdreams talk 01:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- requester hasn't stated a reason, or returned -- Cecropia 21:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Kai81123 → Nextil
- Current name: Kai81123 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Nextil (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: I'm Using a new Online Handle, because my old one (Kai81123) has too many numbers. User:Kai81123 22:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. If you would like, you may usurp the user name, as it has no edits. Or you can pick a different user name. Also, images aren't allowed in signatures. ~ Wikihermit 00:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- should be at WP:CHU/U or else choose a different user name -- Cecropia 06:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Smug6 → SMUGGLER
- Current name: Smug6 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: SMUGGLER (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: This would be the appropriate name for the subject of the page I wish to create. It would make it easier for people to find as well.
Clerk note: The above request was added by the account requesting the rename. Note that there is already a user called Smuggler who last edited in January. WjBscribe 19:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Done -- Made this name change as "Smuggler" only had some 16 edits in a year of editing, so unlike this user will be confused with him/her. Cecropia 06:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Smug6 → SMUGGLER NY/LA
- Current name: Smug6 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: SMUGGLER NY/LA (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: Smug6 is an unclear name that misrepresents the subject of the page I am creating. People will not be able to access information that will be listed on my page unless the name is a bit more clear.
- This is two requests, Smug6. Which rename do you want? -- Cecropia 03:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- system considers this an invalid name -- Cecropia 06:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Non homosexuals only → Saber Force
- Current name: Non homosexuals only (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Saber Force (change username) (Force from secure login)

- Reason: I change my user name in italian wikipedia and I wanted to have the same user name in all the wiki where I registered --dario vet (talk) 22:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Done -- Cecropia 21:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Relaying message from WJBscribe (currently having connection problems):
- I seem to have missed an error in the coding of this rename request. As such the user has been renamed to User:.snoopy not User:.snoopy. They are likely to have difficulty logging in if they don't realise this is the name they have been renamed to. The following link should correct the error: (rename to correct name) Thanks, WJBscribe.
- – Steel 02:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sausageracer → Johnson4
- Current name: Sausageracer (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Johnson4 (change username) (from secure login)
- Reason: I want to be able to remember my username easier. Sausageracer 09:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Kaizersoze → Keyser Söze
- Current name: Kaizersoze (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Keyser Söze (rename user)
- Reason: better spelling Kaizersoze 03:30, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you are an established user and wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at m:Steward requests/Username changes.

Clerk note: Listed at WP:USURP at 22:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC). Moved to WP:CHU as the target user name does not exist, so it can't be usurped. ~ Wikihermit 02:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Not done -- I'm confused. The target name does exist. Should this be back at WP:CHU/U? -- Cecropia 02:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
DLX → Sander Säde
- Current name: DLX (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Sander Säde (rename user)
- Reason: When I created a user, I didn't think I will come as active as I have and chose pretty much random username. Now I would like to use my own name as username, since I don't want to be anonymous here. Also, as I recently found out, DLX is also a gene and microprocessor archidecture, I am unsure of copyright issues regarding those - so changing username would be good in any case. DLX 06:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Done -- Cecropia 02:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: Raffaelo is available for usurpation in case you are interested. Greeves (talk • contribs) 14:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

TheSultan → GreenRower
- Current name: TheSultan (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: GreenRower (rename user)
- Reason: I joined Wikipedia because I felt that one entry was unfair and I wanted to try to modify it. I didn't realize when joining that I couldn't leave, but have been disappointed with this community and the way entries work and would like to "close my account" to the best of my ability. I feel this is one step I have to take. Thanks.Thesultan 09:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)TheSultan
Clerk note: TheSultan (talk · contribs) has made no edits. ~ Wikihermit 19:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Mortsggah → Mikael Häggström
- Current name: Mortsggah (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Mikael Häggström (rename user)
- Reason: Mortsggah sounds bad, almost like an orch. Judge yourselves if Mikael Häggström sounds better, but at least it is my real name. I see no reason to edit under a pseudonym. In contrast, I want Wikipedians to see who really made the changes. An alias might change throughout lifetime, but the real name is often constant. I'm aware of, however, that my surname can be a little tricky to type in on any non-Scandinavian keyboard. Nevertheless, it simply wouldn't be me if it was spelled otherwise. In short, please, let me edit as the person I really am. Mikael Häggström 13:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Done -- Cecropia 03:06, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

- Current name: TheBassOne (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
