 | Do 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. |
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.
The Moneycruncher → TPIMaster
- Current name: The Moneycruncher
- Requested name: TPIMaster
- 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)
- User:The Key already exists. Unless you registered the name, you'll have to choose an alternative. Warofdreams talk 10:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:TPIMaster also already exists - please check that names are available before you request them. Unless you registered the name, you'll have to choose an alternative. Warofdreams talk 15:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:The Key already exists. Unless you registered the name, you'll have to choose an alternative. Warofdreams talk 10:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Gsmith1of2 → Onegoftwo
- Current name: Gsmith1of2
- Requested name: Onegoftwo
- Reason: Please refer to my original sign up info and you will see the reason (password). I need my user name to be unique but would like to keep the account. It was an oversight on my part. The first user name I chose was already taken and when I typed a new one I typed the wrong thing. Sorry for the confusion. Help? Thanks. Gsmith1of2 20:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what the reason is; could you explain? Unless there's a pressing need for you to make this username less visible, I'd suggest simply creating an account in the new name, as you have very few edits. Warofdreams talk 02:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Bticho → BHT
- Current name: Bticho
- Requested name: BHT
- Reason: Wish more privacy, please
Thanks Bticho 02:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Like I said a few weeks ago, you'll have to confirm by signing in with the User:BHT account and replying, to confirm you have control of that account. Warofdreams talk 12:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if I signed in correctly?Bticho 15:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nope, still signed in as User:Bticho. Please sign out, sign in with the User:BHT account you claim to control, and reply. Warofdreams talk 00:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
lewisd@oclc.org → Sincerity
- Current name: lewisd@oclc.org
- Requested name: Sincerity
- Reason: Name change recommended by wikipedia. Thank you.
- There is already a User:Sincerity. Unless you created that account, you will have to choose a different name. Warofdreams talk 02:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Système → Rhizome
- Current name: Système
- Requested name: Rhizome
- Reason: This is my fr.wikipedia username. "Rhizome" user name already seems to exist but it doesn't seem to have contributions. Thank you. Système 21:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:Rhizome already exists, so unless you created that account, I'd suggest waiting for the single log-in to solve this for you. Warofdreams talk 02:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
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)
- Bureaucrat: 1667 edits dating back to 12 February 2006. Target username has not been taken. --Durin 17:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- 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)
Thanks. But I guess I'll give myself a chance to make the change.--Bonafide.hustla 02:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, as you're sure, I've
Done the rename. Warofdreams talk 14:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
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)
- "Right to vanish" is a concept as described at m:Right to vanish. Per Misplaced Pages:Username#Inappropriate_usernames, I don't think it's appropriate to rename your account to that concept name. I recommend you pick another name. --Durin 17:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- In that case I'd like "Floccinaucinihilipilification".--TVPR 17:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- HAHAHAHAHH! (and YES that IS a real word!) --Durin 17:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Super! Thank you very much.--TVPR 17:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I think it's a funny name. I just can't change it. I'm not a bureaucrat; just helping out here. --Durin 18:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, well, thanks anyway =)--TVPR 19:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Just to be clear; I don't mean to imply a bureaucrat can't change it. Just stating that I can't. A bureaucrat may decide to change it. --Durin 01:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- For that sake, sure. I was thinking in the unlikely event I came back, but anon etc. is fine.
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)
- Beuraucrat: Has 131 edits, and target Username not taken — Deon555Review 04:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Jamesonfarrell → Y8fgfdsfdfdfdrr
- Current name: Jamesonfarrell
- Requested name: Y8fgfdsfdfdfdrr
- Reason: Privacy issues. Thank you. Jamesonfarrell 01:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- The name you requested conflicts with Misplaced Pages:Username (it's long and difficult to remember). Could you please choose another name? Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 12:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Pierre Larouche
- Two current names: Pierre Larouche, urbaniste and Pierre Larouche, président
- Request: One single name Pierre Larouche, urbaniste
October 2006--216.252.84.14 19:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I don't understand this request. We can't merge usernames, but there is no User:Pierre Larouche, président, anyway. As User:Pierre Larouche, urbaniste has very few edits, I suggest simply creating a new account under the name you would like. Warofdreams talk 15:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
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 Misplaced Pages. Thank you. The Pharmacist 03:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Tskoge → Tapir2001
- Current name: Tskoge
- Requested name: Tapir2001
- Reason: Anonymity and privacy reasons. Thank you. Tskoge 14:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Snowmonkey → Skibum
- Current name: Snowmonkey
- Requested name: Skibum
- Reason: A good friend who posts under this name has respectfully asked that I change. Thank you Snowmonkey 18:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:Skibum already exists. Unless you registered this account, you will have to choose another name. Warofdreams talk 21:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
SafeLibraries.org → LibraryPaulRevere
- Current name: SafeLibraries.org
- Requested name: LibraryPaulRevere
- Reason: I have been required to change names due to Wiki policy issues and the guidance of Wiki gurus. I'm a few pages short of having changed hundreds of pages so I appreciate this opportunity. Thank you. SafeLibraries 01:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, your requested name also contravenes Misplaced Pages policies, as it contains the name of a historical political figure. Please choose an alternative name. Warofdreams talk 21:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
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)
user:odder → odder
- Current name: pl:user:odder
- Requested name: user:odder
- Reason: Mhm.. I use this nickname on pl, de, nl, simple, meta and commons. But on en this nickname is already in use. Is there anything you can do? Thanks, pl & commons user:odder || pl talk & commons talk 13:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing we can do under present policies; I'd suggest waiting for single log-in to solve your problem. Warofdreams talk 20:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Swissre → MrTruth
