On hold You appear to be creating an article about yourself as your userpage, and that's why you want the rename. Such vanity pages aren't allowed; do you plan on contributing to the encyclopedia, or just to work on your vanity page? EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

- Requested name: Marluxia.Kyoshu (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 hardly ever use 'KitsuneDragonRA' for signing up at forums et cetera anymore. When I created a 'Wikimedia Commons' account, it created the 'Marluxia.Kyoshu' account at Wikipedia as well. Is there any way to change my username here into Marluxia.Kyoshu, so I don't have to log out and back in when I go back and fourth between the commons and here? User:KitsuneDragonRA/sig2 23:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Yes, this is possible. First, please log in at Commons and post on your talk page there that you agree with this move. Then post the diff here. Given the SUL issue, we may not be able to do this name change until the toolserver is working again. Hopefully that won't be too long. --Dweller (talk) 10:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- Done[1]. Marluxia.Kyoshu (talk) 10:21, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Argh! Sorry, just came back from the commons so it was on that account! User:KitsuneDragonRA/sig2 10:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 00:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Clerk note: The name that you're requesting (Abul kalam azad) already exists. If you're Abul kalam azad and you'd like to change your username from that, please log in to that account and leave a message here. However because that account doesn't have any edits, it's unlikely the name change request would be completed (because you can easily just create a new account and stop using the other one). Please let us know here what you want to do. Regards, Matt (Talk) 02:09, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
