Bonafide.hustla → Certified.Gangsta

  • Current name: Bonafide.hustla
  • Requested name: Certified.Gangsta
  • Reason: I have received mocks and ridicules about my username from some hostile users. I would prefer to adopt a new name to avoid such harassments from happening again. Thanks for your time.--Bonafide.hustla 07:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to rename you, but want to check that you are happy with your proposed username - I suspect that it may receive the same attention that has caused you problems in the past. Warofdreams talk 02:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But I guess I'll give myself a chance to make the change.--Bonafide.hustla 02:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, as you're sure, I've  Done the rename. Warofdreams talk 14:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TVPR → Right to vanish

  • Current name: TVPR
  • Requested name: Right to vanish
  • Reason: I do not wish for my current name, which I am strongly associated with elsewhere, to remain active as I cease using WP. Thank you. TVPR 16:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I'd like "Floccinaucinihilipilification".--TVPR 17:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Durin - "Right to vanish" is not an appropriate username and User:Floccinaucinihilipilification is already taken(!) Is there another name you would like? Warofdreams talk 02:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would Anonymous3190 be ok? If you are leaving, it doesn't really matter which name you choose. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 09:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For that sake, sure. I was thinking in the unlikely event I came back, but anon etc. is fine.
 Done (as User:Anonymous3190). Warofdreams talk 15:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cory K → Bellito

  • Current name: Cory K
  • Requested name: Bellito
  • Reason: This username is reflective of nothing and not in a different language. I prefer something in another language (my proposed new one is in Portuguese and Italian.) I'm unsatisfied with it, and it's boring. PLUS this is also my username on Club Penguin. Cory K 21:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jay Williams → The Pharmacist

  • Current name: Michael Jay Williams
  • Requested name: The Pharmacist
  • Reason: "Michael Jay Williams", isn't my real name and people keep getting me confused with all these real "Michaels", so I would like to be changed to avoid confusion and to allow me to make many more contributions on Wikipedia. Thank you. The Pharmacist 03:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Warofdreams talk 21:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AA Milne → Eeyore

  • Current name: AA Milne
  • Requested name: Eeyore
  • Reason: Potential for confusion surrounding my name and the author A.A Milne. Don't want to loose 18 months of work and ~2000 edits. Thanks. AA Milne 11:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Eeyore already exists. Unless you created this account, you will have to choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 21:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could I have Heligoland please. Former area of the British Shipping Forecast which I've always liked the sound of. AA Milne 13:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm amazed that's not already been taken - good work on finding it! It's now  Done. Warofdreams talk 23:42, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: Seanb995
  • Requested name: ShadoKai23
  • Reason: Privacy and security concerns. Seanb995

Jim Bart → Texas Drama King

  • Current name: Jim Bart
  • Requested name: Texas Drama King
  • Reason: I was thinking of going by the name Jim when I got it b/c I was tired of what i was being called then. I now see that Jim just does not sound good on me, b/c everytime I hear it I think of Jim from The Office. So I'd much like to change to Texas Drama King. Thank you. The Texas Drama King 15:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Warofdreams talk 00:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jsloan31 → JCheng

  • Current name: Jsloan31
  • Requested name: JCheng
  • Reason: I'd like to use an abbreviation of my actual name, instead of some name I came up with for an online game a few years back; it seems a bit immature to be using it in a non-game situation. I've checked that JCheng has not been taken. Thank you. Jsloan31 12:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Redux 23:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David.regev → David Regev

  • Current name: David.regev
  • Requested name: David Regev
  • Reason: When I created the account, I did not realise that the first letter would be capitalised, and I also did not realise that spaces were allowed. Now my username looks horribly asymmetric, and I would like it to look more formal, i.e., my normal full name. In addition, I tried creating a new account, but I was told it was too similar to another account (my current one). I would gladly use this option if it were available to me. Thank you. David Regev 13:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
{{not done}}. You have very few edits and can simply create a new account. Warofdreams talk 00:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Given the new information that you cannot create this new account, I have  Done your rename. Warofdreams talk 17:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bhouston → Deodar

  • Current name: Bhouston
  • Previously requested name: Sequoia (the name of a genus of tree, see Sequoia)
  • Requested name: Deodar
  • Reason: Privacy and security. I would rather use a pseudonym rather than my real name. Thank you. Ben 04:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Sequoia already exists. Unless you created this account, you will have to choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 00:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I see now. Sorry about that. How about "Deodar", another large tree native to India? --Ben 02:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Warofdreams talk 17:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mpage → P1340

  • Current name: Mpage
  • Requested name: P1340

Fixed request formatting. --Ben 04:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nathan_w_cheng → Nat32

  • Current name: Nathan_w_cheng
  • Requested name: Nat32
  • Reason: Current username is my full name and I need more privacy. If possible, I would also greatly appreciate if you could change all links to my user page to use "Nat32" as the display text instead of variations of my real name (like my first and last name without the middle initial). Thank you. NatC31 07:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
While we do have a User:Nat33, they have no edits, so I don't think your requested name is likely to cause confusion. As such, I have  Done your rename. Warofdreams talk 23:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Does the fact that my old user page and references to it still exist mean that I need to wait for the database to be updated, or that I need to manually rename the page and manually change all references to reference the new page? NatC31 04:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Karl Kol → Carlo Colussi

  • Current name: Karl Kol
  • Requested name: Carlo Colussi
  • Reason: I am not used at all with my current username and finally, in this precise case, I hate anonymity. Each time I propose to a friend to look at my contributions I forget to tell him I've used a pseudonym. So I prefer to have my real name. Thank you. Karl Kol 11:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No problem -  Done. Warofdreams talk 00:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In most cases, rephrasing a web site name in this manner wouldn't be appropriate, but as "Sportslogos" is a phrase in widespread use unlikely to be associated with this particular website, I've  Done your rename. Warofdreams talk 01:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Webmaster@sgovd.org → Liberal Freemason

Your proposed name also contravenes Wikipedia:Username. Could you choose another name, which does not include a web address. Warofdreams talk 20:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. Changed request now from sgovd.org to "Liberal Freemason". Please use User:Liberal Freemason instead. --SGOvD webmaster (talk) 22:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
After some thought, I've concluded that this probably isn't a potentially inflammatory username, so I've  Done the change. Warofdreams talk 02:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. :-) I belong to so called "irregular" Freemasons since we initiate women. "Irregular" is somewhat discriminating and wrong used because you are "regular" if you are initiated by a regular established Lodge and your Grand Lodge is regular if it recieved a charter. (etc. etc.) This is why I prefer the term "liberal". --Liberal Freemason (talk) 02:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transferred everything and set a redirect. Please edit block User:Webmaster@sgovd.org and User talk:Webmaster@sgovd.org now. --Liberal Freemason (talk) 02:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Webmaster@sgovd.org no longer exists, as the account has been renamed. If you are particularly concerned that someone will impersonate you, follow the instructions at the top of the page to get it blocked. Warofdreams talk 03:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Overcamp → Darkspots

  • Current name: Overcamp
  • Requested name: Darkspots
  • Reason: I don't want to use my real name. I now realize that I want to do new-page-patrol-type work, not just copy editing. Overcamp 20:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: Double Dash
  • Requested name: Cipher2006
  • Reason: I generally have not gone under the username "Double Dash" for a year or so and it is more convenient for me, so people don't mix me up with others. Thank you. Cipher2006 23:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jessica_simpson121 → generation_talk123

  • Current name: Jessica_simpson121
  • Requested name: generation_talk123
  • Reason: I was recently told on 'my talk' that I had to change my username because I am not allowed to have a username with the name of a real celebrity. If you change my username can you please mention it on my talk.
The request to change to the name User:xxxhiljes has already been rejected, so I assume that you would like to be User:Generation talk123. Could you please confirm this? Warofdreams talk 03:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ook! Ook! is too similar to the existing account Hhkkhhkk > Ook! Ook!

  • Current name: Ook! Ook! is too similar to the existing account Hhkkhhkk
  • Requested name: Ook! Ook!
  • Reason: Tried registering Ook! Ook! but was unable to due to similarity with Hhkkhhkk. I think the program for detecting similarities is not perfect and is blocking my preferred username, while there is very little similarity in fact. I was unable to register the name normally, so I had to register this and ask for renaming... Thanks Ook! Ook! is too similar to the existing account Hhkkhhkk 16:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JParge → ECParge

  • Current name: JParge
  • Requested name: ECParge
  • Reason: Potential embarrassment via Google’s cache through contributions which state false information which was not submitted by me. I'd like my name removed from this website, it has no legal right to be listed here and you do not have my permission to use it. Thank you.
Please do not make legal threats against Wikipedia. You chose the name, and you obviously have the password to be able to login as the user to make this request, hence you agreed to put both your contribution history, and your contributions under the GFDL. If you have a case for specific information contributed under your account please bring that up with an administrator, this is not the place to do that. Ansell 04:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I have been trying to sort this problem since the day that the article was created about me. I did not originally create this account, it was created by someone who had a grudge against me at the time of creation, I was eventually able to obtain the password and get access to the account to delete the data, however the data still remains in the history of this account (which is also displayed on Google's cache), and as it is not me who made this account I requested that the name be changed. I have no idea how this system works, it is of no interest to me to spend my time here, I have tried to solve this case in the past and the staff here have been extremely unhelpful. Once again I am asking you for the renaming of this account, I did not give my personal permission for my information to be displayed on this website, nor did I personally make any contributions, please change the username to my brother's so that I don't need to spend any further time trying to sort this matter.
In addition, I did not make a legal threat. I quite clearly stated that my name had no legal right to be on this website, it was not submitted by me and hence; it should not be here. The same goes for the highly embarrassing and incorrect information which was submitted through this account, all I am asking is that you change the username so that the information can be recognised as being submitted by someone else (AND NOT BY ME).JParge 11:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Despite the manner in which this request was made, I've  Done it. Warofdreams talk 23:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cornholioprime → Thanos777

  • Current name: Cornholioprime
  • Requested name: Thanos777

Thank you. Cornholioprime 11:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: BLuToRsE
  • Requested name: MasterA113
  • Reason: This is my little brother's account, and now my parents are all worried that he's given away too much info about himself. I've already requested that his page be deleted, but we'd really appreciate it and feel much safer if we could have his username changed as well. Thank you.

The14thgGOD → The14thGOD

The14thgGOD named to The14thGOD since user couldn't make a new account themselves ("Login Error - The name "The14thGOD" is too similar to the existing account "The14thgGOD". Please choose another name.") Angela. 03:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CaseyPlummer → Casey Plummer

  • Current name: CaseyPlummer
  • Requested name: Casey Plummer
  • Reason: I would like a space in between my first and last name.

I just created the account, and I have no edits or history (besides this one obviously), so renaming the account shouldn't load the servers too bad. I tried creating the new name, and it wouldn't let me, indicated that another user with a similar name (i.e CaseyPlummer) existed. Thanks. CaseyPlummer 01:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - you have few edits; if you are unhappy with your choice of name, you will have to choose a different one. Warofdreams talk 12:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If CaseyPlummer exists then the software no longer lets a user make Casey Plummer since it's too similar. These sort of requests should be accepted now that the user has no way of making the new account themselves. Angela. 03:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WindowsWizard12 → BlastOButter42

  • Current name: WindowsWizard12
  • Requested name: BlastOButter42
  • Reason: Frankly, I created this account when I was twelve and I now think the username is pretty stupid. Also, BlastOButter42 is my main email address, AIM screenname, and the my username for almost all other sites, so that's how most other people know me, and I would like to have some consistency and avoid confusion.

I just created the account, and I have no edits or history (besides this one obviously), so renaming the account shouldn't load the servers too bad.

Tupsharru → Celsius

  • Current name: Tupsharru
  • Requested name: Celsius
  • Reason: A name which is easier to spell and remember, but still gives me some degree of increased obscurity on the web, as "Celsius" is a more common word. I have already made this change at the Swedish Wikipedia and Commons (the two projects where most of my other contributions are). To change here, I would need to usurp an old user name (old enough not to be in the user creation log) with no contributions: Celsius (talk · contribs). Tupsharru 05:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I now realize I should obviously not use his internet alias, which may make people think he did modifications to articles, while it was me.

Jon smith (nom de guerre) → john smith (nom de guerre)

I don't mind doing the change, but you should know, it isn't possible to have a lowercase first letter in a username; the system will automatically capitalize it. Do you want to stay with John smith (nom de guerre) or is there another capitalization scheme you'd prefer? Essjay (Talk) 03:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's a pity.Then John Smith (nom de guerre) will be easier for my fingers to get used to, since it's the normal way of adressing people :). I suspected that was the reason but when I came to this page I just saw a guy further up the page who claimed he had the user name "nhirst" , but I was guessing it was just his typo since nobody else had a first minuscule letter. But thanks, if you'll bother changing my typo and giving both names in capital letters uppercase. Thanks again Jon smith (nom de guerre) 04:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
