Current requests
Please note that renaming users puts a large load on the database. Please do not request a rename unless it is necessary. If you have only a few edits, see the alternatives above.
- You must use the form shown in the gray box below. If you do not do this, your request will be ignored. Don't forget to sign your name with four tildes, as indicated.
=== MyOldUsername → MyNewUsername === * Current name: MyOldUsername * Requested name: MyNewUsername * Reason: MyVeryConvincingReason. Thank you. ~~~~
- Check this page periodically to see whether a bureaucrat has fulfilled your request or whether additional information is required. If the request has been fulfilled, read the "Once fulfilled" section for further instructions; of particular importance is the renaming of your userpages to reflect the name change.
gerdbrendel → Brendel
- Current name: gerdbrendel
- Requested name: Brendel
- Reason: I would like more privacy and have already change my signature, yet I would also like my username to be change so I enjoy more privacy on history pages. Thank you. Signature 07:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Brendel is already taken. If this is you, please sign in and reply to confirm. If not, please choose a different username. Warofdreams talk 02:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I moved my userpage to User:Brendel-I undid the move as it broke the links to my talk archives. Currently "User:Brendel" redirect to my userpage. I would still like to change my username for privacy on talk pages. Thank you. Regards, Signature 06:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Can I take it that the registered User:Brendel is not you (even though the userpage redirects to yours)? If so, please choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 19:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Strange! I do not recall ever registering under Brendel. Yet I you state there is a User:Brendel who, according to my research has no contributions and whose talks as well as userpage redirects to me. I tried logging in as Brendel, but was told that there is no e-mail address on file for that user. Could me moving my userpage have caused this? I really doubt there is a user Brendel out there w/o user page, talk page or contribs. Look at the history of User talk:Brendel. I do have an alternative, Brendelsignature, but is there anyway for me to check whether or not I am User:Brendel already? Signature 21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, it wouldn't have been moving your userpage. Chances are, somebody else created the account. As it has no e-mail address, and your password didn't work, there's no other way of telling. Would you like a name change to User:Brendelsignature? Warofdreams talk 04:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you for your help. I guess there must be another Brendel (still think it's very strange). Oh, well please change my user name to BrendelSignature. Signature 06:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, nearly there now. Just to confirm, would you like User:BrendelSignature or User:Brendelsignature (you've mentioned both capitalisations). Warofdreams talk 11:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great. The former, User:BrendelSignature. Signature 16:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

MyOldUsername → MyNewUsername
- Current name: Haile-Gabriel
- Requested name: Cluckbang
- Reason: I changed from Haile-Gabriel to Cluckbang and would like to change back because it is causing much confusion, and also since I like my older username. Thank you. Cluckbang 22:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Bob brawley@Carolina.rr.com → BWatson
- Current name: Bob brawley@Carolina.rr.com

RichBerry → LittleOldMe
- Current name: RichBerry
- Requested name: LittleOldMe
- Reason: As you can see, I have attempted moving my name. This has sort of worked, but I now have two user names (because I created a new one). I did not know that this user name change request was available (and I did not think to ask). So, would it be possible to move all my old logs to LittleOldMe and remove my old account. I wanted more privacy than my old name allowed.
Thank you. LittleOldMe 10:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please log in as User:RichBerry and reply to confirm that you are this user. Warofdreams talk 19:28, 1 October 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.
- Please clarify whether you would like to be rename Euphoria7981 or Hysteria2424. Warofdreams talk 17:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Rather be Hysteria2424.

I got scammed → Noob free zone
- Current name: I got scammed
- Requested name: Noob free zone
- Reason: Don't you think 'I got scammed' is too much related to RPG games? Well I did get scammed a few times but reckon I'd do better with another name as I hate noobs... Thankyou I got scammed 02:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not done. You have very few edits; you can simply create an account in the new name. Warofdreams talk 17:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't think it would be advisable to have an account under that name. See WP:BITE if you don't understand. --Gray Porpoise 21:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Sr13 → Singularity
- Current name: Sr13
- Requsted name: Singularity
- Reason: I want to eliminate my initials because for internet safety reasons and eliminate the 13 (year of graduation) because the number would be useless after high school. Also because Sr13 is a dull name.
- We already have a User:Singularity. If this is you, please log in with that name and reply to confirm. If not, please choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 17:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

- Reason: I like my nickname Milo better. Milo 02:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- We already have a User:Milo. If this is you, please log in and reply to confirm. If not, please choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 17:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- That is bull**** (soory about that). I checked in the user creation logsfor User:Milo and there were none, nothing. Nor anything in the user rename log. So can I please have my user name change to Milo. Appreciate it. Besides, I have been using Milo as the name for me in my signature, so I assume that's why you assumed that User:Milo exists. Milo 20:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Very old accounts do not show in the user creation log. However, this account has even done some edits: Special:Contributions/Milo Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 14:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yao Ziyuan → Yáo Zǐyuān
- Current name: Yao Ziyuan
- Requested name: Yáo Zǐyuān
- Reason: This is the name I use in other Wikimedia projects. I want use the same name in different projects to avoid confuse other people. Thank you. Yao Ziyuan 14:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, this request conflicts with Misplaced Pages:Username, section "Names with non-Latin characters". My persional opinion is that your current name is already sufficienty clear to be the same as the other one. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 13:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not done per comment above. The forthcoming single login feature should solve this, anyway. Warofdreams talk 11:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
A BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! → BOOM BOOM BOOM!
- Current name: A BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
- Requested name: BOOM BOOM BOOM!
- Reason: They wouldn't let me have my old username darn. And it won't let me edit on my new account. Thank you. A BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! 19:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

The Moneycruncher → Da Bomb
- Current name: The Moneycruncher
- Requested name: Da Bomb
- Reason: My username.
If my name is changed, post it on my talk page.
- I'm afraid that's too close to User:DaBomb, and we also have User:Da bomb and User:Dabomb. Maybe you could pick a more distinctive username? Thanks, Redux 16:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Susan.hamlyn@btopenworld.com → dinah
- Current name: User:Susan.hamlyn@btopenworld.com
- Requested name: User:dinah
- Reason: you advised me not to use my email address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.19.221 (talk • contribs)
- As explained in the instructions above, you need to post the request while logged onto the account that is to be renamed. Please log on to the relevant account and post here confirming the requested move. Requests posted from IP addresses (anonymous) are not fulfilled. Furthermore, please notice that a technical limitation of our software requires that all usernames start with a capital letter. Redux 22:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Gy94 → Zqr
- Current name: Gy94
- Requested name: Zqr

- Thanks! Much appreciated. Zqr 19:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Andreas08 → Mgb1719
Current name: Andreas08
Requested name: Mgb1719
Reason: I made an account with my name then, i decided not to use it because of my name, so i changed it and made edits but i was still loged in with my old account and not the one with less personal information. Thank You
- From what you wrote, I understand that you already have another account from which you are editing, and that would mean that you want this account renamed because it gives away too much about you, is that right? Looking at it, I don't see how this would be too revealing of anything, especially since it has an extremely short contribution history. I would say that it would suffice for you to just have the account's user page redirect to the userpage of your active account, or maybe ask an Administrator to have it blocked indefinitely. If you really want an account named "Mgb1719", you could just create that account and start editing from there. But consider that a) If you already have another account, consider using it instead of creating new ones, so that you can establish a fix identity for yourself on Misplaced Pages; b) Notice that there are already many users with usernames that read those three letters followed by a number, which can cause confusion for other users. A unique username would be better. If you are indeed concerned about the name "Andreas08", perhaps you could explain it better, so that we can determine if a rename would indeed be essential. Thanks, Redux 17:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Further Reasoning: Well i live in a small town(the one i edited on) and I am the only person with that name basically, and i wish that people did not know it was me. Thank You for your help
- Fair enough. It is
Done Redux 00:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank You Very Much
Trevorland → strato74
- Current name: Trevorland

2006 (UTC)
- Done given privacy issue. Redux 16:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Marika Herskovic → Salmon1
- Current name: Marika Herskovic
- Requested name:Salmon1
- Reason: I signed up for Marika Herskovic not realizing that I'll loose my privacy.
I created The new account User name:Salmon1 and signature:Salmon1. The acount Marika Herskovic had been closed. Now I have to move to the new account. Thank you for your help. Salmon169.125.246.230 13:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- As explained in the instructions above, all requests must be made from the account that is to be renamed. Please log on to the relevant account and confirm your request. Requests posted from IP addresses (anonymous) are not fulfilled. Redux 16:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Heimstern Läufer → Heimstern
- Current name: Heimstern Läufer
- Requested name: Heimstern
- Reason: The umlaut in my name is causing some trouble with my running VandalProof, not to mention it's just kind of confusing and hard for other users to type; thought this would be the best route to go. Thank you. Heimstern Läufer 03:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Done Contact someone with VandalProof privileges in order to reinstate your access. Redux 17:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- Reason: I am leaving, and would like to sever this name from edits. please append my requested user name with a number which has not been used.Spooky Donkey 20:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

- Done per right to vanish. No notice of change has been posted on user's talk page. Redux 17:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Andres lopez → Andy Rosenthal
- Current name: Andres lopez
- Requested name: Andy Rosenthal
- Reason: I thought that since my name is rather common in my country, choosing it for wikipedia would allow me to keep my privacy. However, I recently moved to another country where it is not as coommon. By edits done on pages in which I forgot to sign on, an IP address appearead that can be routed to the place where I live, and easily linked to myself. I would like to change my name so I can keep my privacy. I want to keep contributing on wikipedia and I would hate to lose what I have done with this user. Thanks!
- Done Authenticity of request confirmed in History pages. Please remember to sign with tildes though. Redux 17:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Bobbybroom → Syd Stevens
- Current name: Bobbybroom
- Requested name: Syd Stevens
- Reason: I have begun developing an autobiographical page. As I further develop this page I will be certain to conform to the NPOV policy, including adding citations in support of any statements which may seem to challenge that policy. I would however, like to change my username to a pseudonym in order to keep my anonymity in the future.
- Further explanation/realization: I just read the advise about not creating autobiographical articles. Oops! I wish I'd seen this before I got started. At this point I guess I could reduce the article to its bare minimum and wait for someone to fill it in, or continue to revise it and try to stay neutral, doing my best to include only supportable data. It's your call.
- Probably best to propose changes on the article's talk page. Would you still like to change your name? Warofdreams talk 03:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Reply: Will do. Yes, I would still like the name change.
- AWAITING A REMEDY.
- Probably best to propose changes on the article's talk page. Would you still like to change your name? Warofdreams talk 03:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- Requested name: cezeo
- Reason: I want to be more specific, not just a letters + numbers name. Thank you. Crea7or 10:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Adbabypenguin → Ajdlinux
- Current name: Adbabypenguin
- Requested name: Ajdlinux
- Reason: I stopped using my current name on almost every other site several years ago. I use this nick on most other things, including email, Wikibooks/other Wikimedia projects, most of my websites, Slashdot, Digg, etc. and I would like to be more identifiable with my other nicknames. Thank you. ajdlinux 03:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Note: requested account exists, registered today. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 11:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- Current name: PastFinder
- Requested name: RhymeNotStutter
- Reason: I've become aware that "PastFinder" is in commercial use (several uses, actually). My using it in Misplaced Pages might cause some confusion with those uses. Thank you. PastFinder 01:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
