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)

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. SoxBot VI (talk) 18:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I want my username to reflect my real name rather than a nick Kris Haamer (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: You have two names stated (Krishaamer & Krish Haamer) which do you wish to be renamed to? Rudget (Help?) 16:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: You appear to have a unified account and will have to request that it be deleted before a name change request can be fulfilled. Requests can be made at m:SR/SUL. Shereth 17:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
- 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)

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

- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: greater privacy. UCCMin (talk) 20:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

- I can do this for you, Amcormack. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 21:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
BJinsect → InsectBot
- Current name: BJinsect (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: InsectBot (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: getting a bot approved as this username BJinsect (talk) 01:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
Not done file a new request when you are ready Andre (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Magic Guitar → Jienexfore
- Current name: Magic Guitar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Jienexfore (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: I was wanting to do an article on Jienexfore. I thought (wrongly I guess) that I could use any user name and then write the article. That's the reason for a name change request Magic Guitar (talk) 16:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
Not done -- Andre (talk) 00:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: This is the username I use on serveral other Wikimedia projects. I could not choose this username when registering on enwiki but it seems it has never been used by anyone. Richard 08:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: general account to also use by others. Karin sanders (talk) 13:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
Pbarsamian99 → armeniankid09

- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Pbarsamian99 (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
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)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Flagged by other user for possibly having a role account. It's not! It's just me! SU2C (talk) 18:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
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)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I would like it to be in capital letters. Supposedly, there is a way to do this with AIM, but I am not able to do it. Thanks in advance for any help! Imeagleeye (talk) 21:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: do you mean to change Imeagleeye to GREENMONSTAH927? User:Greenmonstah927 does not exist. Kingturtle (talk) 21:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- 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)
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)

Not done Self-promotion is not what Wikipedia is for. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

- Reason: I already have a unified account with name Ashishbhatnagar72 at eng wiki & other sister sites. But in hindi wiki I had an account with Hindi name आशीष भटनागर. Upon unifying the a/c in Hindi wiki, aparellel a/c on all sister sites was created, similarly on eng too.
