Simple username changes

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


Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
  3. 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.
  4. Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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.
  6. Select Publish changes.
  7. 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 stewards, global renamers, and clerks

Only stewards and global renamers have the authority to approve or decline requests. Requests are automatically clerked by a bot, but occasionally human intervention is required, particularly for malformed requests. If you would like to help out with clerking, please see Wikipedia:Changing username/Assistance.

Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

 Clerk note: I have requested the requesting editor to pop by here whilst logged-in. Anthøny 16:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Realwomex → WOMEX

 Bureaucrat note: - please make the request while logged into the User:Realwomex account. Kingturtle (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Asked editor to sign in on respective talk page. Rudget (Help?) 16:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mark wallace → Markwallace

 Clerk note: All requests are to be made by the account wanting renaming; this request was filed by 66.93.60.182 (talk · contribs). Please log in and confirm this request. Also, malformed request fixed. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 00:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SunStar Net → Renamed vandal (random number)

 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)[reply]

NationalRealEstateAssociation → RealEstateBiographical

Rolandnassim → Lebdoctor007

 Clerk note: All requests are to be made by the account wanting renaming; this one was made by 24.203.97.252 (talk · contribs). Please log in and confirm this request. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 00:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Elsaturnino → Elsaturnino

 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)[reply]
 Not done - all Wikipedia usernames must start with an uppercase letter. WjBscribe 12:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CHAMPMAGAZINE → CHAMP MAGAZINE

 Not done. WjBscribe 18:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Bhuvaneshkohli → Bhuvan77

 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)[reply]

Shaneknee → ShaneKnee

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by Shaneknee (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Rudget (Help?) 16:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 18:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

S200048 → SonicteamUSA

 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)[reply]

Rsriram → Rsriram123

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 70.246.95.18 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Rudget (Help?) 17:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

K4zxw@arrl.net → Dtm1007

Tammycolbert → Tammy Colbert

 Clerk note: Merged identical requests and fixed the result for bureaucrat use. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 04:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 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)[reply]

Djiann → Himatsu Bushi

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)[reply]

Jimsgardens → Jim's Garden Services

Joey Kaminski → JoeCool950

Harsh1125 → daredevil555

 Bureaucrat note: - Please endorse this request using User:Harsh1125 as your login name. Kingturtle (talk) 12:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

91.50.109.242 → Magna

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)[reply]
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)
