Every1blowz

Please change my current username User:Every1blowz to User:Mad Max. Even though I never intended to offend anyone with my original username, people have nonetheless taken offense to it anyway. To make sure I don't unintentionally hurt anyone else I've decided the best thing to do would be to have it changed. Thank you. --Every1blowz 18:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, wait. Did you register Mad Max before making this request? You realize that we can only change to an account that doesn't exist, right? If you registered this name (which is what it looks like) you need to confirm that by editing this page from that account, so we can rename it to free it up for renaming your original account. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 23:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, about the registering thing. I registered User:Mad Max before I realized you can change your current username (and move all of your edits to the new name) without completely starting over, which is what I was prepared to do. But then I came upon this page and realized I'd already registered Mad Max and the instructions tell you do not register the new name. Anyway, I just decided to go ahead and try and hope you didn't notice or ran into problems. I'm also not sure I know what you're talking about since I'm pretty confused, so I'll just go ahead and say if you can move Every1blowz to Mad Max that'd be great, and if you cannot then that's okay too. --Mad Max 05:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, what we will do is move Mad Max to some other name, which will make that name free. We will then move Every1blowz to Mad Max. Every1blowz will no longer exist, all of it's contributions will be registered under Mad Max, and the contributions now registered to the Mad Max account will be moved to a new name, to make way for the Every1blowz contributions. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 05:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All taken care of. You can now log in to Mad Max with the password you had set for Every1blowz. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 05:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Happynoodleboy

Please change User:Happynoodleboy to User:Tim1988. I registered User:Tim1988 and started over, but then found that you can arrange to have your account name changed. You can check that both accounts were created by me: [1] - I redirected to the new account and [2] - I mention my old account there. Sorry for the confusion. --Tim 15:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have renamed Tim1988 to Tim1988 2, and Happynoodleboy to Tim1988. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia

do i have to change it?i really thought it funny.....could i do something similar if its just that its wikipedia that you dont like?wait i thought of it...please change my username to 'kitten huffing' if you dont mind.User:Wikipedia 04:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't believe that is an appropriate username either; it is likely to be highly offensive to others. Please choose a less offensive option. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wait were you saying kitten huffing was inapproprite?if so will a mod/admin/thing change my username to SPOV?Wikpedia 15:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, kitten huffing is inappropriate. SPOV is acceptible. Name change complete. And the term for a user who can change usernames is "bureaucrat." Essjay (Talk • Connect) 15:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BDAbramson

Starting to get a little heat from vandal types tracing my identity - I presume a change from User:BDAbramson to the highly anonymous User:BD2412 will not compromise my sysop status/tools? BDAbramson T 19:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In order to prevent my BDAbramson username from being compromised after my username change, I've created an account to be moved there - User:Standby account - after my username change is done, please move User:Standby account to User:BDAbramson, and I'll log in under that name to put a note on the page that the account is no longer in use. Cheers! BDAbramson T 05:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and appears your sysop flag is on the correct account. Please verify this, and let me know if it is not correct, so I can sysop the correct account and have the other desysopped. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 06:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
