Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple/Archive31

MITB LS → The Chronic

Current name: MITB LS (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: The Chronic (rename user)
Reason: I don't really like the name anymore. I created the username back when the song by Lil' Scrappy was still hot off the charts. Now that it's old, I feel like changing my name to something more "fresh". ("The Chronic" is simply a reference to the album by Dr. Dre. I don't have the album, nor do I have any intentions to try to promote it.) MITB LS 00:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The Chronic" can still be construed as a reference to marijuana. It's up to B'crat discretion, though. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Kacheek!)} 01:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think of that... well, I set up an alternative below if "The Chronic" isn't accepted. MITB LS 02:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: You can't actually change your username everytime the fashion changes. If I rename you to the Chronic you'll be stuck with it, I'd therefore suggest you choose a username that won't date. I've never heard "The Chronic" as a codeword for weed, but then I'm on the wrong side of the atlantic, amongst other things.Secretlondon 11:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I didn't specify my reasons enough. Well... for starters, I am currently using the name "MITB LS" on other websites (YouTube, Simtropolis, etc.). However, for personal reasons, I would rather not my username linked to the others accounts that I have. My other reason: this account was originally intended to be used for vandalism only. In most cases, vandalism accounts use random usernames. In this case, I chose a name that was kind of trendy back then. I didn't know that I would actually be staying on Wikipedia for a long time. Now I feel like having a more consistent name, and "Chronic" or "Detox" meet that criteria (the album by Dr. Dre is a very important album to the history of hip-hop; regarded as the hip-hop version of the White Album). If "Chronic" is deemed too inappropriate for a username, I could try to usurp "Detox". It's up to the bureaucrats though. MITB LS 14:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done but we won't change your username each time the wind changes. You also have no block log, despite admitting that you registered for vandalism.. Secretlondon 20:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Paid 2 Make Girls Panic → Watch The Sky

Current name: Paid 2 Make Girls Panic (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Watch The Sky (rename user)
Reason: I used my usual AIM screen name and myspace name to create this account. We're doing a project for school (Kansas City Art Institute) involving grammatical corrections on pages that need it. I intended no harm in the username, it's simply a quote from a song by the artist Brand New, however I see how it can be considered in appropriate, and would like to request this change so I may complete my project for class and contribute the the Wikipedia community. I also cannot create a new account because my school's IP has been blocked from creating accounts, editing, and anything else on this IP, stating that my username is the problem. I'm more than willing to change it, and found another username from another song that is appropriate in my opinion and has not bee taken. Thank you for your time.
