Simple username changes

Shortcuts

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

Instructions

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.
Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
- be inappropriate, profane, or offensive
- contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information
- be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority
- be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people
- contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols
- contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions
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.
Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
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.
Select Publish changes.
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 help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Your userpage should be about you, as a contributor to Wikipedia, and not about your church. Also, your account should be yours, used only by you (a single person), and not by various people "speaking for" your church. If you think your church is notable enough for an article in Wikipedia, please create the article in the main (article) namespace (see Wikipedia:Namespace for details), and not on your userpage. If you'd like to be renamed to something other than the name of your church -- your name, or your favorite nickname, or a clever handle of some kind -- let me know. — Dan | talk 21:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and while it has no edits, the user requesting it is too new to usurp an account. Requesting user has 1 edit, to this page only. SoxBot VI (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Where is your home wiki? None of the accounts you listed have any significant edits that I can tell, and none show up in your SUL report (though the servers are out of date, which could be the problem there). We'll also need evidence from your home wiki that "Faisalmurad1" is owned by the same person. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: It is not possible to merge accounts, but it may simply be that the request for the accounts to be 'merged' is a mistake, since the latter account does not exist. — neuro^(talk) 02:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Chris, you must be referring to User:L07ChLeo3...But I am still confused by the request. Do you want User:L07ChLeo3 to become User:Chris Leonidou, perhaps? Kingturtle (talk) 16:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Planning to abandon my former username. Alessa  talk 11:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Although the requested username exists, the user has not made any contributions to Wikipedia. Therefore, you can place a request to usurp the username at WP:USURP. SoxBot VI (talk) 11:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: User:Alessa already exists. Was that your creation? If you want to retire User:AQu01rius into obscurity, we can change it to a generic unused name. Kingturtle (talk) 12:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Or if you want to keep your account history tied to Alessa, make the request on WP:USURP to have the account usurped by the new account, then log into both accounts and sign the request. (Continue to use the old account to make any edit changes, you don't want to create any GDLF significant edits with the Alessa account... but based upon the fact that the Alessa account is 3 years old, I'm guessing it isn't you. In which case you can place a usurp request to get it.)---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 16:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot VI (talk) 22:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: It's not just that your userpage is being used to promote this radio station, the username you want also promotes that radio station. Please see the policy at WP:IU, regarding promotional usernames listed as a type of inappropriate username. This request also has the added problem that User:Nyota already exists and has edited. Useight (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note:While the Nyota user name has made edits, it is only one minor edit in 2007, and could potentially be WP:USURPed, but if it is seen as being usurped for promotional purposes, it will be denied.---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 22:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot VI (talk) 23:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Sorry this has been so complicated. First, your page shouldn't be at User:887mhz. That is supposed to be the place where you write something about yourself. If you want to write about a radio station, it should probably be at Nyota Radio Télévision. You'll notice that link is red because the page doesn't exist yet. The material about the radio station should go there. However, the wording has to be neutral, which you have worked on, with edits such as this, and the article must give evidence as to why this particular radio station is notable. If these criteria aren't met, the page could be deleted. Useight (talk) 23:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Sorry to keep doing this, but User:N is taken. Kingturtle (talk) 03:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
AntiSpoof: antispoof check
For global renamer: rename user
Reason: Current username reflects my own name too closely and I'm hesitant to make edits on controversial topics. I have read the WP:COI. I do want my new username in all caps. Jaakovs (talk) 10:29, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 10:30, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Bureaucrat note: The insistence on caps raises my eyebrows. I'm concerned not just about "shouting" (which it seems you're aware of, from your request) but also that you're "masqueraiding" for promotional purposes, like this and other hits I found on Google. I'd welcome other Crat input. --Dweller (talk) 10:48, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: I don't see any edits Jaakovs has made that involve issues or discussions at http://masqueraid.livejournal.com/profile . I'd be happy with a simple promise from Jaakovs that MASQUERAID would not be used for commercial or promotional purposes, if indeed Jaakovs runs that livejournal. AS for the all-caps, usernames (such as Brion VIBBER and MONGO) and all-cap signatures (LittleMountain5) are in use, so that's not a red flag for me. Kingturtle (talk) 14:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Persuasive. Hope you don't mind, but I'll wait for a third Crat opinion, as it's been suggested in the past that I am a bit quick off the mark when asking for comment. --Dweller (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no connection to that website and I wasn't even aware of its existence. Instead, my suggestion for a new username stemmed from my appeal to the sound of 'masquerade'; since that username is already in use, I took up a punny misspelling of it. I'd happy to take 'masquerade', but I don't know if I'd qualify for that usurpation. On another note, I'd be content with an all-caps version, or a version with a small first letter -- as long as it's not "Masqueraid". Jaakovs (talk) 15:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the status of this request now? Jaakovs (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note:We can't do usernames with a lowercase first letter, ruling out both "masquerade" and "mASQ<whatever>". "Masquerade" is, as you guessed, not an easy option. Where we're at is that I'm inclined to approve your original request, per Kingturtle, but I'm waiting on a third opinion. Is there a rush? There aren't many active Bureaucrats on English Wikipedia. I'll go see if I can rouse one. --Dweller (talk) 11:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: I don't see a problem with this request. Evula.com exists and is operated by a friendly 'crat. :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 11:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harry "Harri" Dennis → DA01

Current name: Harry "Harri" Dennis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: DA01 (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: Created article in sandbox with title Harry "Harri" Dennis and want to submit for approval, but Harry "Harri" Dennis is showing as user name. Harry Dennis is the person I am writing about. He is not the user. When I started again my user name popped up as the article name. So what do I do? I want my user name DA01 for ongoing use to access my account only, not as an article title. I am new to this and am trying to get it right. I don't think the user name and article name should be the same. Shouldn't the user name and article name be different? I want to keep this name Harry "Harri" Dennis as the article title only, not a user name for my account or subsequent articles. I don't know how to change, switch or move info I wrote in a sandbox to a regular article page. I posted a question on talk, but I think the reason I am not getting a response is because the article is in sandbox. Help. Will the change in username also change for Wikimedia. They are both linked. Thanks. Harri (talk) 06:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it's showing up like that is because you're posting it on your userpage. Have you tried making the article in actual mainspace (i.e. w/o prefixes before the name)? -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 07:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
