Bureaucrat note: I note that you have been blocked in the past. There is a bug that prevents block logs moving during renaming and renames are generally not performed where this will lead to that information being lost. I could block your new name for 1 second after performing the rename to link back your previous block log, is that acceptable? WjBscribe 19:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Not done - more than a week has passed without a response. WjBscribe 23:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This means that your username change will be recorded in Special:Log/Renameuser. The entry will mention your old name as well as your new name. This means you cannot entirely disconnect yourself from the old username by this process; you can only do that by abandoning your present account, starting a new one, and making no mention of the fact that they are connected. Do you still want the username change? — Dan | talk 08:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
yeah, but will u stil delete this transaction of mine of the this project page when i get the change done, this one part of the page showing my current name change request? JYMoore (talk) 04:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
