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.

Clerk note: If this is a request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. --Terra ^(talk) 00:35, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - The requested username already exists. If this is not you, I am sorry but it is not possible to take this name. Please choose another name. If the account is you, please note that it is not possible to combine/merge accounts. I suggest you stop using the old name and use the new name henceforth. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Taketa: Given the edits made by "Jacob Westermeyer", it seems likely that the two accounts belong to the same person. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:52, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~done~~ globally by User:Jmvkrecords—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 19:10, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The request was not done. I do not know why the bot reported this. I will not do the request right now since it is evening for me and in case something is happening in the system. I have notified the bot owner to review the case. I will rename tomorrow or a colleague can have a look. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 19:55, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done You have requested way too many username changes. Request #32640 was closed with the understanding that you were vanishing and that it would be your last username change. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:49, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@K6ka: Isn't it possible to do it one more time ? It's true that I changed my username two times, and the last time was for vanishing, and I really regret doing that, so I want to come back to my former name. If not possible, I will be obliged to open an other account, because it is impossible to continue with the current username, which has no meaning (combination of random letters). Hope you will understand me. Thanks. Idrahduetdy (talk) 07:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
