- Might be possible to do it like User:А did. --Chris 09:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

- Current name: Renamemeplease (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Verità (rename user)
- Reason: It will not let me create the account because Verita exist already. Renamemeplease (talk) 23:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: There might be a question of impersonation if this request is done as Verita (talk · contribs) is active. Further, requester has no contributions (deleted or otherwise) outside this request. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 18:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- Verità means "truth" in Italian. Renamemeplease (talk) 20:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

- Current name: Sosdude100 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Zach_Wehrmann23 (rename user)
- Reason: This used to be my friends account. He gave me his password because I was too lazy to make my own. Now he doesn't want me to stuff under his name anymore, and he told me to change the account name Sosdude100 (talk) 14:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: Changing your username will not change your passord, to do so - go to Special:Preferences. This account should be blocked, as it is role account. This request will almost certainly be declined. —Qst 14:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it is a role account, and I can't see a reason to block offhand, but I think the simple solution is for the user to create the requested account, given the low number of edits. I don't think anyone requested the password be changed. Steve block Talk 16:29, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: User has been blocked indefinitely by AJMS as the name is that of an organization the account seems to be working for (see deleted contributions). This rename request will not affect the block. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 20:14, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
