Bureaucrat note: The name with "clay" in it has the same problem, does it not? -- Avi (talk) 00:59, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- If you think it is the "same problem" (which I don't) please let me know so I can change for another username. I hope for a fast answer. --Leca67 (talk) 12:14, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Clerk note: clerk I am going to agree with Avi that any name including or related to clay is going to be a controversial name given your contributions. Krose1967 (talk · contribs), the name proposed [1] when you were unblocked was ok but you didn't file a request for it. (previous request in archive). If Krose1967 is a reference to your real life name you might want to have something less obvious, perhaps kr67 (talk · contribs). delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 00:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. In addition, your account only seems to have one edit. Perhaps you could abandon this account and create a new one.

- Requested name: Rozax (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've been using Rozax for online communities for a while now, and would like to keep it current with wikipedia. I'm keeping mccojr02 for for more "real world" discussions rather than cyber discussions, now. Thank you for your time! Rozax 00:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Clerk note: While renaming is possible, i see that it is a user name (nice last.fm :D ) but Rozax is also a pharmaceutical drug [2] and the name of a business [3] From your contributions to WP i don't see anything that indicates you are involved with either of the above but it might be an issue per WP:CORPNAME. Others' opinions? delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 11:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Rweinkove → Drrobert
- Current name: Rweinkove (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (notify user)
- Requested name: Drrobert (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: Old username includes real surname and want to avoid this Rweinkove (talk) 08:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Clerk note: (removed my previous note) I misread the SUL tool results. The requested user name has an m:SUL, created on ESWP, but it has never been used. User names are case-sensitive if you would like to check for a similar variation. May i suggest Dr Robert (talk · contribs) SUL. I would also like to direct your attention to WP:CRED, an essay regarding use of credentials on Wikipedia. In summary it states that as there is no viable way to verify credentials everyone is treated equally. Welcome back! delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 11:36, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- If possible, I would prefer to use drrobert, as this is consistent with my username on other sites. If the requested username has never been used, can I take it over?
- I had a conversation with ESWP bureaucrat es:User:Dferg and he has asked you to make a request to usurp es:User:Drrobert on his ENWP talk page, User talk:Dferg, and he will process the usurp on ESWP. Once that is done we can process the rename here. After that you can secure the m:SUL for Drrobert. This will result in your having an account on Spanish Wikipedia which you are welcome to use, or not, as the circumstance may be. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 17:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Clerk note: From the above explanation i see a few issues relating to user name policy. It is promotional in the sense that it is the name of a group or organisation. Also, if you are not a member of the group it is misleading. Either way, please select a personal user name that is representative of yourself. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 17:49, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

- Hello, just to clarify, Rdela2/Rdela came into the wikipedia IRC help channel saying they had forgotten their password, since their account had made nearly no edits I recommended that they simply create a new account, however, (upon my suggestion) they wished to keep the old account name, so I directed them here. (Important: I have verified via E-mail correspondence with the old account that the two accounts do belong to the same person). Kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 07:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
