Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple

Changing username/Simple

This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.

Instructions

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Click here to place your request.
- Add your desired username after NEW=
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=
- Do not change anything after CURRENT=
Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.

Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

Important Notes After you are renamed...

Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.

... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

Current requests

Reason: Letters unusable. KatRDNS (talk) 02:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: I'm not sure how "RDNS" is a WP:U breach, which is what seems to be implied. -Jéské ^{(Auld lang syne)} 02:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Could you tell us more about this request? There doesn't seem to be any reason for you not to edit as KatRDNS - but I'll rename you to Kat7207 if you want. WjBscribe 18:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: I'm not sure how a rename will help with this problem. Also, I note that you haven't actually made any edits to articles so far... WjBscribe 02:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: I've semi'd her userpage due to IP vandalism. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 08:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

they wont know my new username so they wont be able to find the pages. i moved the edits to another page so they wouldnt reverse it. PLEASE!!! thanks for the semi but the people who are doing it have an account.

Then I can block them if they try it. I am an administrator, and I have your userpage watchlisted. If it gets too much, I'll hand it off to a checkuser so we can block the underlying IPs. Besides, there is a record of your rename in logs; they can find your new page quite easily. Further, none of the harassers that I can see have an account; it's all coming from IP addresses. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 22:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you so much, i hope that works, i think the only username they have is nick wabi, it says some really inappropriate things you might want to check it out.

I will. And don't bait them or else you may end up getting yourself in trouble. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 22:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bwknews → WICKN

Current name: Bwknews (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: WICKN (taken on other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: was username-blocked. malformed request. —Random832 15:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Is WICKN the name of the station? If so, it's no better. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 20:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

US broadcast callsigns (W is assigned to the US) are typically four letters. Based on a deleted article, this does not appear to be an actual broadcast station anyway, so it would not have a callsign. It probably refers to "Brunswick News", though, so it may still imply a role account. —Random832 22:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But the problem is i've lost my password and can't log on the Yun-Yuuzhan account and now i had to create this account then i requested to be merged with my old account but the problem is they don't believe that i'm the rightful owner of Yun-Yuuzhan, but the thing is i am the actual owner of Yun-Yuuzhan but because of so many user's being on wikipedia is hard for them to say who is, please let me use my old account. Vorta ^{What do you want} 20:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Misspelled name. This isn't a company name sorry - I think I explained things in a confusing way. Errant Digital isn't registered and Loc Errant is a nickname I've been using online for a while now. It has no affiliations to a company. LockeErrant (talk) 16:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: You cannot be renamed to match a company or organisation name, whether you're affiliated with it or not. Qst 16:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Your requested username is still gaming the username policy [2]. Qst 16:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By gaming the username policy, I mean abiding by it, but breaking the general spirit of it. You have requested a username change to a username very similar to your current username, which is promotional. You need to request a name which has no correlation to companies, organisation or anything else which may violate the username policy. Cheers, Qst 16:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested name: Parachute (taken on other projects?) (rename user)
Reason: unwanted name plus safety online[lus remove all contributions under my oroginal name. They were mistakes. Please do not post my Ip address either. Londonlady (talk) 05:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Fixed malformed request. As a side note, the privacy policy generally prohibits public posting of a user's IP address. Lastly, we cannot delete an account's contribs. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 05:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: The account requested is taken, but has no edits. Take the request over to WP:USURP to have this approved. Wizardman 05:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: I am working on her with this - she's being cyberstalked, according to her - and will be amending the "requested name" field for her. Owing to the situation, I doubt she has the time to wait a week for an usurpation. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 16:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If she doesn't want the contribution history showing up in her account (which we can't do), wouldn't it make more sense to just abandon this one and make a new one? —Random832 19:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only ones she's come up with so far are already taken. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 19:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Per her talk page, I think we can safely rename it to a random account. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 23:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
