SunStar Net → Renamed vandal (random number)
- Current name: SunStar Net (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (notify user)
- Requested name: Renamed vandal (random number) (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: This is not the real individual who uses that username, and it should be freed up so he can have his existing account named changed to Sunstar Net if he wants to. It also raises privacy issues, since the individual who uses the Sunstar Net name does not want it on the site. The user who created it was a vandal account who knows this user IRL. I am only making this request on his behalf since he can't login to his account (User:Kelsington - the account that wants to be renamed to Sunstar Net (talk · contribs)) as he's forgotten both his password and email.
--1qx (talk) 23:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)--1qx (talk) 11:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: I'm not sure I understand this request. Why are you making this request rather than User:Kelsington and what claim does he have to this name? If Kelsington can't log into his account, renaming him won't help with that. WjBscribe 12:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: For security reasons, someone was editing the "Beirut Airport" article to rename the airport after hezbollah's leader. It thought I could change it back to it real name without being identified, which is not the case. So I like my real name to be removed. 24.203.97.252 (talk) 23:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I've got OCD over the capitalization of my username. sat (talk) 00:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: Technical restrictions make this rename impossible; the first letter of a username is automatically capitalized. Sorry. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 08:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Not done - all Wikipedia usernames must start with an uppercase letter. WjBscribe 12:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: don't want to use real name Bhuvaneshkohli (talk) 15:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
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 18:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: Your chosen username implies a role account and is thus inappropriate; you'd be best off choosing another if you want the change. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 17:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Not done The username requested is taken and despite having no edits, you only have two with your current account so usurption request will be rejected. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 19:08, May 10, 2008 (UTC)
- Per this comment on my talk page, I learned that the user account was created after this request was filed, most likely by a mischievious person in an attempt to 'steal' the name. I don't know whether something can be done about this [the user has made a grand total of 1 edit]. 'crats... any ideas? RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 11:00, May 11, 2008 (UTC)
- Per bullet point 5 under "Notes" section above, requested names are considered "reserved". Therefore, if that point is correct, this request will become a usurpation, technically. I don't recall this ever happening before, so am unaware of precedent on how this will operate. The bureaucrats will need to decide if the account's edits will be disregarded due to the note above. seresin ( ¡? ) 18:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

- There is precedant (the names were vacated and the rename performed), but in that case the person squatting usernames was doing so in order to be disruptive. Is there any evidence that the user behind the new username is a bad-faith account? -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Don't want to use IP, want to use name. 91.50.109.242 (talk) 16:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note:, fixed malformed request. IPs cannot change their name, however, you can simply create the account if you want. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 16:07, May 12, 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, looking at the logs, it seems that the account you want has already been created. However, it has made no edits, and therefore you may be able to usurp the name. You will need to create an account using a different name and get yourself established [generally, usurpation requests from new users are not fulfilled] before you will be able to usurp. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 16:10, May 12, 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requesting IP is an active TOR "exit node". Rudget (Help?) 17:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can we get this marked {{notdone}} by a 'crat, obviously non-compliant especially in light of Rudget's comments. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 17:49, May 12, 2008 (UTC)
