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.

I'm in agreement with EVula and WJBscribe. The problematic username contained "heritage"; surely a target username that does not contain the word can be chosen. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 15:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Per Triplestop, do you understand that WP:SPAM and WP:COI are applicable no matter what your user name is? →javért ^chat 16:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that some articles on wikipedia need to go through the same issues as mine. Some are blatant self promotion and are not flagged for "Speedy Deletion" (Metaledgeinc06 (talk) 18:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

At the moment, I'm more minded to restore the block than to rename you. If you are renamed, will you continue to write about "Metaledge Records"? WJBscribe (talk) 19:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Creative user name; RuleOfThe9th is a car in Daytona USA 2001;therefore it is a fiction product but on a real-life computer video game console. This is why I presume to change the user name, since Kidzania Liverpool has not been used in any other users;nor in existance in real life. ROT9 (talk) 13:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 13:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: – Just to make sure I understand: you wish to change to KidzaniaLiverpool because you prefer it in general, and because it does not refer to anything in the real world? —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 15:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I prefer that name in general. Indeed you are correct, it does not refer to anything in the real world. Furthermore, this name is not present in Kidzania's current project, nor in any of Wikipedia's articles.--ROT9 (talk) 05:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Please note that "Kidzania" is some type of gaming website or possibly an amusement park (per http://www.kidzania.com/). Though, the user is correct that they do not have a Liverpool location, I'm still a tad apprehensive about this request. →javért ^chat 01:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Me too. I'd like an opinion from other 'crats. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kidzania is an amusement park. --ROT9 (talk) 07:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - per WP:ORGNAME, "...Your username should represent you", not an organisation. Please select another name. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well. Since you bueraucrats accept the fact that this represents a company, I would choose a representative user name (representative for my account, not any of those institutions. Any examples of a good name?--ROT9 (talk) 12:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note:Anything that meets the username policy and is not already registered is valid. You can have Kidzania in your name if you want to, as long as it doesnt imply that you're affiliated with them (it says on your userpage that you're in 8th grade, so I assume you're not an employee). -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 12:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about High/Scope Indonesia? Despite the fact that I'm just a student there, doesn't that mean that I'm affilated with them? Seems like this has to be inserted in my user name. Oops. I just requested another username down there. Guess I'll have to stick with that.--ROT9 (talk) 12:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - User filed a new request below. Regards So Why 12:46, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK. I can cope with that. I always wanted to represent myself, not my school.--ROT9 (talk) 12:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is as maybe, and in due course, as they are discovered, they will be handled in the manner described in WP:ORGNAME. Please select a username to represent "you", and not a company name. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can I just stick with my orignal then!

No, because if you make sure you read WP:ORGNAME, you'll see that editors with usernames like both your current and requested ones are usually blocked indefinitely, or until they select a username which is more suitable per WP:USERNAME. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
