Simple username changes

Shortcuts

This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers.

Instructions

Read Wikipedia:Changing username carefully. You must be aware of and understand all the implications of changing your username. Specifically:
- Your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited, and in all log entries.
- Your user pages, account preferences, and edits will be moved to the new name. Please do not create a new account or attempt to move them yourself.
- Links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be created pointing to your new userpage.
- Understand that using your real name as your username may put you at risk of harassment.
Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
- be inappropriate, profane, or offensive
- contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information
- be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority
- be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people
- contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols
- contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions
Check that your new username is not already in use by searching for it on Special:CentralAuth. If the name is registered, even on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
If the target name hasn't made any edits to any Wikimedia project, you may request usurpation at meta:Steward requests/Username changes.
Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Place your request here.
- Add your desired username after NEW=.
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=. Requests without a valid reason will not be approved.
- Do not change anything else.
Select Publish changes.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any inquiries regarding your request. Consider watching the page so you can monitor updates. Requests may be closed if there are unresolved queries.

Requests that do not follow these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Current name: Patricksheedy (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Patrick Sheedy (other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: more professional —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patricksheedy (talk • contribs) 11:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jonny B21 → The Venus Guns

Current name: Jonny B21 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: The Venus Guns (other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: Can't log in as my old username, so created a new profile to use. Jonny B21 (talk) 17:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: You don't need to be renamed. You can simply create the account that you want. The username search doesn't seem to indicate that you might be prevented from doing it by our filters due to similar, preexisting users. Have you attempted to create the account "The Venus Guns" and was prevented from doing it? If not, please simply create the account and abandon this one, since you have not edited with it except to post this request. You may also request that the username "Jonny B21" be blocked after abandoning it, if you would prefer it. Redux (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: If you are making this request for privacy reasons, bear in mind that being renamed creates a permanent log entry liking your current name to your new one. As you haven't made any contributions yet, it may be better for you just to start a new account with your chosen name from a privacy point of view. WjBscribe 18:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current name: TydeNet (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

Comment- This diff will explain it. See, I thought a change would be best because "trojan" implied the virus, and I think that violates the "misleading" part of WP:USERNAME... 21 655 ^τalk/_ʃign 20:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Trojan" is also a brand name of condoms, several sports teams (indeed, that of the high school whose article he was editing), and of course the name for the inhabitants of the city Troy. —Random832 (contribs) 20:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current name: Kram4089 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

Reason: I know this username differs from user:Taxman only by its capitalization. Still I would like to request renaming to be able to use SUL. Having my homewiki on German WP (I have sysop status there) and rarely editing on this platform, I would like to stay as close to my original username as I can. I will make sure (by signature and user page) that there wont be any confusion with the names. Thanks for your understanding. Proof of identity Taxman_de^{Talk (de)} 07:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: I'm going to ask Taxman to comment on this request. WjBscribe 22:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Yes, I think this can be no problem as long as the signatures and userpages make the difference clear. It's unfortunate that any change must happen since he has just as reasonable a right to it as I do, but it should go somewhere I guess. - Taxman ^Talk 02:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: - User:Creasy already exists. Kingturtle (talk) 13:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no edit in his contributions since january 1st, 2006. Is it possible to rename the current Creasy? Thanks LudovicRivallain (talk) 14:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but you might be better off going to the Usurpations page to do it. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current name: Es.Gusgus (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Gusgus (other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: User Es.Gusgus asked me to fill in this request in her place due to her basic English. Apparently the user that previously used the nick Gusgus has now changed it to Gus Polly. Es.Gusgus wants to know if it's now possible to claim that nick. A further reason would be that she's a sysop at es:wiki (and the apcoming SUL trial will theoretically affect her). Thanks Raystorm (¿Sí?) 13:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - it seems to be a candidate for being usurped though - can you make a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. WjBscribe 22:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Then might I suggest filing at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations? They'll be more than happy to rename you to that; this page, however, is not for such. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 17:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I have unified login under the name Bennó. V79benno was my old username everywhere, and now want to unify all logins. Am admin on huwiki (as far as I know, unified login is enabled now for admins only). V79benno (talk) 15:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RacsoES → Racso

Current name: RacsoES (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Racso (other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: Hi. I need to usurp that account in order to finish the SUL merging. The account "Racso" has 3 edits only, done in august/2006. I think he will not return here. Thanks. Racso (talk) 17:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: ANY edits in mainspace makes a target username ineligible for usurpation. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 17:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot apply common sense in this case? I mean, 3 edits only, made 2 years ago, and I am taking the username everywhere... --Racso (talk) 18:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An account with edits cannot be usurped due to GFDL concerns. Were the edits restricted to their userspace, there'd be less problem, but all three of his edits have been to mainspace. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 19:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you rename the account "Racso" to "Racso-usurped" or something like that, its contributions will be moved to, so they will appear as made by "Racso-usurped". Therefore, the author is still the same, and there is no problem with the GFDL. --200.114.41.94 (talk) 21:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - username is taken. I am willing to consider a usurpation request for this account - please make a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. WjBscribe 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bleu_Bayou → Bleu__Bayou

Current name: Bleu_Bayou (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Bleu__Bayou (other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: My reason I would like to the rename, is because when I registered I forgot to include an email address and was going to do it later. Well when i tried to login in I forgot the password I had chosen. I would like to have the new name because it is close to my old one. I also don't want to create a new account so that somone can accuse me of being a sockpuppet. So since I haven't found a way to get into my old account. My world would be great if my raw watchlist could be transfered to Bleu__Bayou and me to begin using it. Unless an admin can help me get into my old account. I could even tell them most of the things on my watchlist (if they can see them) to know I am telling the truth. Either thing that could happen would be a blessing.

Clerk note: We cannot see another's watchlist, and a rename does not reset a password. Sorry. I don't know if an admin or bureaucrat can change your password. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What i was asking was basically about creating Bleu__Bayou (it won't let me because it is to close to Bleu_Bayou) then they could close Bleu_Bayou, also why is 208.62.125.140 coming up as my ip address? My ip address is <redacted> not 208.62.125.140208.62.125.140 (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may be using a proxy server or AOL, which would explain the IP. As for the new account, I can create it for you if you really want it, or you could continue with this request and, afterwards, an admin or bureaucrat can resurrect the account for you and send you a password. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-clerk note: Defiantly not an AOL proxy. Similar situation, but it seems to be a different ISP.--VectorPotential^Talk 23:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you could create it for me, I would greatly appreciate it. But how can i communicate with you so that after you create it I can get the pw to it, that i can change the pw after you create it for me.208.62.125.140 (talk) 00:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contact me on my talk page (it's unprotected), then add your email address in a hidden comment in another edit so that after I give you the password I can request that the edit with the email address be oversighted to keep spammers from getting to it. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 01:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-clerk note: User has also posted to usurpations where they signed as "Ernest Vincent", if I had to guess I'd say that's what they want to be renamed to. However, their only contribution thus far has been to create a resume in their userspace, so they may not meet criteria for a rename. Probably easier for them to just create a new account. --VectorPotential^Talk 23:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
