Jenpeng → Penjenbo
- Current name: Jenpeng (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Penjenbo (rename user)
- Reason: wikipedia asked me to. Jenpeng 16:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: You were asked to change your name as your name (and edits) seem to imply that you are editing on behalf of Penguin Books. You are not allowed to edit on behalf of your employer due to our conflict of interest policy. I don't think that changing your name to something still with "pen" in alters that fact, or is much better than your current name. Secretlondon 17:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Left a note on talk page as editor has been editing still using the COI username. Secretlondon 17:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

- Reason: Reason for requested renaming.Avoid misattribution Ssn42sTn 02:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: This is your problem? Both edits came from your account - someone obviously used your account when you weren't looking - were you using a shared computer? Secretlondon 13:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Not done. No response in seven days. --Deskana (talk) 14:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster → Fsm2007
- Current name: Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Fsm2007 (rename user)
- Reason: Too Long Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster 20:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Wouldn't any name involving the Flying spaghetti monster fall under the fifth type of disallowed username per WP:U? -Jéské 20:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- "Fsm" isn't blatantly related to anything, you only recognise it as a reference to the flying spaghetti monster because of the extra context here. Certainly as nothing but initials, I'm not sure how it could be considered offensive as you suggest. SamBC(talk) 21:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose I am reading too much into it, then... my apologies. -Jéské 21:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Please note the user is a suspected sock. Jonathan 19:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Question: has anyone actually presented any evidence for this, or did they just stick the tag on the userpage and leave it at that? SamBC(talk) 19:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- I left a query at the tagger's talk page asking for evidence and notes here.Rlevse 21:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- When editing under the alias of User:72.179.61.56, Hkelkar made this edit . After the ip was blocked by checkuser, Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster starts making the same edits , , , . To make matters worse the sources he used do not validate the claims that he is trying to state. Also other articles that he has edited, such as National Development Front and Communalism (South Asia) have been also edited by Hkelkar and his many socks.IP198 02:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Grateful Dead → Digital deadhead
- Current name: Grateful Dead (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Digital deadhead (rename user)
- Reason: copyright infringement salmo 00:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Copyright infringement? Are you sure you don't want the second d capitalised, too? --Deskana (talk) 14:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
As far as I've found out the username Grateful Dead is inappropiate because it MAY be an infringement on the copyright laws of the band Grateful Dead or so say a WikiAdmin. And in the spirit of things I don't want that so am trying to change my username, so I'd prefer Digital deadhead but I think I read somewhere the username needs both names to start with a capital as in Digital Deadhead. salmo 12:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Can't find anywhere on Wiki that the username needs the second name to be uppercase so go with "Digital deadhead" and I'll deal with the consequences--thanks salmo 14:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
