* Current name: Evil-ted™
* Requested name: Evil-ted

=== Doremifasolatido → Nodoremi ===
* Current name: Doremifasolatido
* Requested name: Nodoremi
* Reason: The name would be better for someone who is devoted to music and singing. Given the unpopularity of Holocaust denial issues and the discomfort which it apparently causes, it seems inappropriate for me to have connected this iconic solfege to Holocaust discussions and edits. Thank you. ] 04:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
:{{done}}. Howerver, changing your username won't solve that problem because all talk page posts you have made and signed will still read something like <nowiki>] 04:48, 28 September 2006</nowiki> in the code and will be shown as ], etc. But if you still want to give up the name that's fine. - ] <sup><small>]</small></sup> 12:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Dglosser → DGlosser ===
* Current name: Dglosser
* Requested name: DGlosser
* Reason: Cosmetic: Proper capitalization. Thank you. ] 19:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
:*I recommend you create DGlosser and use that from this point forward. You have just two edits on the existing name, and having it for yourself is a good protection against doppleganger accounts anyways. Just go and create the new account, and when you're set up with the new account change the page ] into a redirect to ] and ] into a redirect to ]. To create a redirect, add as the only line to the body of the page <nowiki>#REDIRECT ]</nowiki> (for example). Also, a word of caution: I am presuming this is a form of your real name? Be certain you want to use your real name here due to privacy concerns. --] 20:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)



=== Invisible Robot Fish --> Danny Fenton ===
Can I have my username changed to "Danny Fenton" please? Invisble Robot Fish is kinda a long name. If not I would like it to be changed to "DannyFenton". And if even that is taken, I'll keep it Inivisible Robot Fish. Thank you. &nbsp;&mdash; ''] ] ]]'' 23:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Bodhidhamma → PakkaPunekar ===
* Current name: Bodhidhamma
* Requested name: PakkaPunekar
* Reason: As Suggested by admin Dharma is a Sanskrit word, whilst Dhamma is in Pali. Your name is equivalent to that of Bodhidharma, the 28th patriarch of Buddhism who came to China from India. As such, it is improper to name yourself after religious figures, as you are not Bodhidharma.] 00:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

:I'm kind of debating this request, because the user is currently the subject of some contraversy unrelated to his name (see his talk page for details). -- ]] 02:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Whplanet → Namedeleted092906 ===
* Current name: Whplanet
* Requested name: Namedeleted092906
* Reason: I am leaving the wikipedia community and would like to remove as many references to my long-lasting pen name as I can as per ]. If my requested name is too long or inappropriate, any name will do... feel free to use your discretion in creating it. ] 16:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Andy87 → Euphoria7981 ===
* Current name: Andy87
* Requested name: Hysteria2424
* Reason: I use this username for finacial websites. Also, I edited some pages with this user name. I would like the history in those pages to have the username Hysteria2424 and not Andy87.

=== Deeds-123 → SweeneyTodd ===
* Current name: Deeds-123
* Requested name: SweeneyTodd
* Reason: Deeds-123 was created because of my then lack of imagination. My email address containing "Deeds-123", I couldnt think of anything better, so I just duplicated that. Now, I've thought of something which I've long been interested in, which also doesn't smell of randomness. Thank you. ] 20:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Mycicoia → sagafg65675673===
* Current name: Myciconia
* Requested name: sagafg65675673
* Reason: So sorry for the bother, but I have found out that (my incompetence with) the user account system is compromising my identity. I will be leaving wikipedia, any unidentifiable name is okay.. feel free to block&delete. Same goes with my IP. Thank you so much. ] 22:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Request board for simple changes of username
Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
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.
Requests to "usurp" an existing username should be made at Misplaced Pages:Changing username/Usurpations; straightforward requests may use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.
Instructions
Once you have decided on the name you would like:
  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. 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.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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=
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
For help 'vanishing' from Misplaced Pages,
please see courtesy vanishing.

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.
CautionDo not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.
