- Requested name: Mubersoz (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: Name violates policy Yubersoz (talk) 12:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: - please make the request while logged into User:Httpwwwlearnrussiancom. Kingturtle (talk) 14:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)- Clerk note: I have requested the requesting editor to pop by here whilst logged-in. Anthøny 16:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Not done. WjBscribe 12:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Realwomex → WOMEX
- Current name: Realwomex (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: WOMEX (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: wrong username. 84.190.197.168 (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: - please make the request while logged into the User:Realwomex account. Kingturtle (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

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) (ping 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)

- 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)

- 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)
