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.

Thomassampson → ThomasSampson

 On hold - Your account is already unified across Wikimedia projects, so you will need to ask a steward to delete your global account before you can be renamed locally. Requests can be made at m:SR/SUL. WjBscribe 10:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Elviajeropaisa → User:Albeiror24

Please have a steward delete your global account so we can perform this rename. Andre (talk) 13:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Noting request that has not been completed in over a week. Rudget (Help?) 12:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A4 → A1

 On hold Are you A1 on the Ukranian wiki? If so, as your account is already unified across Wikimedia projects, so you will need to ask a steward to delete your global account before you can be renamed locally. Requests can be made at m:SR/SUL. WjBscribe 18:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am uk:User:A1. I don't want my global account be deleted, I just wanted to merge my existing on enwiki accounts - User:A4, which I registered locally on en quite long ago and User:A1 - wich is global into one account - A1. --A1 (talk) 19:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is not possible to rename accounts to a name reserved for a global account. To do this you need to have the global account deleted, then I can rename you, then you can recreate the account. WjBscribe 19:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shownearby → ShowNearby

 Clerk note: Moved from USURP. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 19:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete your global account at m:SR/SUL first. Andre (talk) 00:33, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fearlith → Kris_Haamer

 Not done - Cannot rename user Fearlith locally as this username has been migrated to the unified login system. You will need to get a steward to delete your global account before this change can be made. You make that request here. Kingturtle (talk) 17:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My real name is Kris Haamer so the user would be Kris_Haamer. I have requested the SUL delete. Thanks, --Kris Haamer (talk) 08:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amcormack → Uccmin

 Not done - Cannot rename user Amcormack locally as this username has been migrated to the unified login system. You will need to get a steward to delete your global account before this change can be made. You make that request here. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can do this for you, Amcormack. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 21:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BJinsect → InsectBot

 Clerk note: The typical process for getting bots approved is to maintain one account for the operator and one for the bot itself. Since your edits under your current name consist only of creating the bot approval request, filing this request to change your username, and starting a user and talk page, you have the option of simply creating a new account for the bot (ideally using this page while logged in to the account that will run it) without worrying about renaming this one. --jonny-mt 01:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
once bot approved i will leave a note for this changing username to reallyget changed, thanks, cheers-BJinsect (talk) 22:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done file a new request when you are ready Andre (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Magic Guitar → Jienexfore

 Clerk note: The change name request is the user's only edit so simply creating the new account would be preferable - however I'm not certain using the new name would make sense given the reason. Will discuss on the user's talk page. Shereth 16:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done -- Andre (talk) 00:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RubenCharles → Ruben_Charles

 Not done - Cannot rename user locally as this username has been migrated to the unified login system. You will need to get a steward to delete your global account before this change can be made. You make that request here. Kingturtle (talk) 18:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ikco-webmaster → internetikco

 Not done, username does not exist Andre (talk) 00:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pradiptripathy → Pradip Tripathy

 Not done, you need to delete your global account first Andre (talk) 00:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tottidesign → Totti Design

 Clerk note: The above three requests have been moved from WP:USURP as the usernames have not been registered. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 19:18, June 11, 2008 (UTC)
This is a promotional username. Please choose another one. Andre (talk) 00:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 17:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pugilistlee → Kristopher A. Lee

Pugilistlee (talk) 01:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - Cannot rename user Pugilistlee locally as this username has been migrated to the unified login system. You will need to get a steward to delete your global account before this change can be made. You make that request here. Kingturtle (talk) 11:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lijojames → Lijo

 Not done The name Lijo (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 11:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Richardw nl → Richardw

 Not done The name Richardw (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 11:36, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Karin sanders → AAEON

 Not done Not only are role accounts not allowed, but being naming after a company is a violation of our username policy. Furthermore, your edits make your intentions perfectly clear; Wikipedia is about building an encyclopedia, not promoting your company. Goodbye. EVula // talk // // 13:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pbarsamian99 → armeniankid09

I decided my current username doesn't reflect my identity the way I would like it to.

Thank you for considering this change.

 Not done You've only made three edits, one of them being this request, and none of them are to the actual encyclopedia portion of Wikipedia. You can just register another account. EVula // talk // // 17:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SU2C → Cat from SU2C

 Bureaucrat note: The company name is still in the name... I'd rather you request something unique that doesn't reference Stand Up To Cancer at all. I'd also recommend you read our conflict of interest guidelines. EVula // talk // // 18:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greenmonstah927 → GREENMONSTAH927

 Bureaucrat note: do you mean to change Imeagleeye to GREENMONSTAH927? User:Greenmonstah927 does not exist. Kingturtle (talk) 21:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think he thinks that this is to get his name on AIM changed, which we don't do. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 21:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You don't have any edits aside from this (rather confusing) request. Just register a new account. EVula // talk // // 21:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wingedunicorn123 → Lanoria

Please delete your global account at m:SR/SUL first. Andre (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keving morgan studio → Kevin Morgan Studio

Kevin morgan studio (talk) 15:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Self-promotion is not what Wikipedia is for. EVula // talk // // 15:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Client? Someone's paying for someone else to do a WP:CHU? Kingturtle (talk) 16:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rnkroy → !Elite

Delete your global account first at m:SR/SUL. Andre (talk) 19:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

आशीष भटनागर → Ashishbhatnagar72

Carlos baigorria → Carlos Baigorria

 Clerk note: Old name has only one edit, new name zero edits, and the new name does not show on SUL. It may be easier to simplycreate the new account. RlevseTalk 16:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Montikid → Que Creativa

 Clerk note: Business account? Que Creativa? Role/promotional accounts are not permitted. RlevseTalk 16:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArunaPL → Polish Locksmith

 Clerk note: Please transfer this request to Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL. Rudget (Help?) 11:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
