If your real name is Eric T. Johnson, I would disadvise you from taking this name on Wikipedia. Anonymity is a valued thing, and never hurts on the internet. There have been cases of people getting harassed outside Wikipedia for actions here in the past. SalaSkan 15:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yves Revi → Georginho[edit]

Please delete Georginho made by me yesterday. Thank you very much. n.b. Holy crab. No lowercase for the first letter? Yves Revi 11:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note:. Yes usernames must start with a capital. Also accounts can't be deleted - only renamed - so we'd have to rename Georginho to something else so you can be renamed to that. If that account is also yours, could you sign this request while logged into that account to confirm it? Thanks, WjBscribe 13:30, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you rename this to what you want and change "Yves Revi" to "Georginho", please? Thanks much. Georginho 18:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DLX → Sander Säde[edit]

  • Current name: DLX (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Sander Säde (rename user)
  • Reason: When I created a user, I didn't think I will come as active as I have and chose pretty much random username. Now I would like to use my own name as username, since I don't want to be anonymous here. Also, as I recently found out, DLX is also a gene and microprocessor archidecture, I am unsure of copyright issues regarding those - so changing username would be good in any case.

Mortsggah → Mikael Häggström[edit]

  • Current name: Mortsggah (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Mikael Häggström (rename user)
  • Reason: Mortsggah sounds bad, almost like an orch. Judge yourselves if Mikael Häggström sounds better, but at least it is my real name. I see no reason to edit under a pseudonym. In contrast, I want Wikipedians to see who really made the changes. An alias might change throughout lifetime, but the real name is often constant. I'm aware of, however, that my surname can be a little tricky to type in on any non-Scandinavian keyboard. Nevertheless, it simply wouldn't be me if it was spelled otherwise. In short, please, let me edit as the person I really am. Mikael Häggström 13:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to have missed an error in the coding of this rename request. As such the user has been renamed to User:.snoopy not User:.snoopy. They are likely to have difficulty logging in if they don't realise this is the name they have been renamed to.

The problem is that the software doesn't allow people to create accounts with names that are too similar to existing accounts, which is why the crats tend perform these requests regardless of number of edits. WjBscribe 10:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mortsggah's Boulpaep project → Mikael Häggström's Boulpaep vs. Wikipedia project[edit]

  • Current name: Mortsggah's Boulpaep project (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Mikael Häggström's Boulpaep vs. Wikipedia project (rename user)
  • Reason: My username Mortsggah is finally changed to my real name, Mikael Häggström. Therefore, I'd like my alternative account to change name too. If you want to know what the purpose of the account is, feel free to click on it. I also feel it is appropriate to have the name of that account made a little bit longer, by two reasons. First, it expresses better what it is all about. Second, it prevents users from ending up on it by mistake. People wanting to know about the project may always get linked there from my primary account. Mikael Häggström 18:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but question: When my name got changed, I suddenly got signed out, and my contributions have not been updated to my new name. Is this normal? Tiger white 00:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, being logged out is a normal process as your browser's cookies are wanting to log into Springbob Squirepants, your old username, and as it is no longer a username, it is being rejected by the login page. Therefore, you have to re-login to update the cookies. Secondly, the contributions appear to be there, you might not be seeing them yourself. Hope that answers your questions. — E talkbots 03:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reason: I would prefer my username to be User:Walton, but that account was registered in early 2006 and isn't usurpable. Since I sign myself as Walton and am usually addressed as such, I'd rather have a username that is closer to what I use in practice. The "monarchist" bit also has POV overtones which were fine for when I was a new user, but aren't totally appropriate for an admin. Waltontalk 13:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RITZ → Emery[edit]

  • Current name: RITZ (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Emery (rename user)
  • Reason: "Emery" is my real-life name and I stopped using the pseudonym "RITZ" a long time ago. It seems that "Emery" is taken by someone who never used the account. I know the article says the name must not be taken, but can't this exception be allowed? If not, I would accept "EmeryD" as a suitable alternative. Thank you RITZ 08:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are mistaken, Emery has been used, as you can see from Special:Contributions/Emery. I will rename you to EmeryD if you wish. (Please confirm if so.) Andre (talk) 08:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Given Emery's recent contributions, I'm not sure renaming to EmeryD is a good idea. This could cause confusion between the two users. --Deskana (talk) 13:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake... that guy has lots of contributions. Good thing you didn't take my word for it. Yes, please change my name to EmeryD. I will just use Emery in my signature and I'll make it a point to differentiate the two of us. Perhaps Emery#2 and I will even become friends, and will start a band named Emery.

Cpgruber → Plskmn[edit]

  • Current name: Cpgruber (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Plskmn (rename user)
  • Reason: I have worked on articles in an obscure area where I am a committed amateur (Swedish folk dance and music, see “polska”) and got started using an id that is my name. I am also a professional in psychological test publication and have begun to notice some articles that need help (see WAIS, not published by me, but still deserves better) and think it would be better if it my name weren’t so public/prevalent if I contribute there. Can I change my name id at this point, but retain my link to my past edits watch lists? If you have to intervene directly, I’d like to switch to “plskmn”. Thanks.

Nikomazi → Niko.Mazi[edit]

Not done. Your only contribution to Wikipedia was to this page. Changing usernames is limited to people wishing to move their contributions from one username to another. If you wish to change your username, please simply register a new account. --Deskana (talk) 09:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Deskana, I woul love to start making contributions, that is why i have registered mysedlf hier. But i would like to start my contributions as Niko.M and not Nikomazi, thats all
Then please register a new account under that name, and you can begin contributing straight away. It's much easier for you to create a new account than for me to rename your existing one. --Deskana (talk) 09:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would love to but when i tryed to register under Niko.Mazi i got message that this (new) user name is very similar to Nikomazi and i couldn't use it...This is why i'm here asking you to change it for me. But if that's against the wikipedia regulations, then by all means i do not want to go agains them. respectfully, Niko
 Done. I have renamed your account as an act of discretion on my part, despite the fact the rename falls outside the community agreed standard. --Deskana (talk) 10:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. And my apologies if i put you through you any inconvenience. Niko

VshBot → O (bot)[edit]

I don't know if "O (bot)" is a good username. It seems confusing to me, as though disambiguating. How about Obot or O's bot or something? Andre (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your suggestions, I'm sorry to say, don't really have the effect. User:Gnome (Bot) does the same thing. (→O - RLY?) 00:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But there's no User:Gnome. Andre (talk) 00:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but do either of these usernames violate the policy? (→O - RLY?) 00:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The name reads to me as if user O is a bot, which isn't right? — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's confusing because this is "User:O" running a bot he wants to call "User:O (bot)." As far as policy, it may fall under "Usernames that closely resemble the name of another Wikipedia user and may cause confusion." Andre (talk) 00:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
O is me. Though it might have a disambiguating effect on it, Gnome (Bot), when the initial BRFA was in discussion, had no objections about the username from the BAG. Though every case is different, the user Gnome was registered, with 0 edits. I do, however, believe that a broader input is needed due to the [possible] controversy over this rename. (→O - RLY?) 01:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think a name like "OBot" would be a lot more conventional. The name "O (bot)" suggests "a user named O, which just to clarify, is a bot". This could lead to confusion with the other user named O, who is you. But it's not a huge deal. Dcoetzee 20:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. If nobody really thinks it's a big deal I'll do it anyway. Andre (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If consensus does not prefer having the parentheses around "bot", then could the new username be what I requested it to be, but without the parentheses? (→O - RLY?) 21:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never thought I had to. I thought that maybe the same people from last time would have overlooked the previous two attempts and changed it due to moderate good behaviour, around 95 percent good-excellent and 5 percent, lets moderatly uncivil, but not so bad that I would recieve a warning.

Bmyersinc → Blueberryman[edit]

  • Current name: Bmyersinc (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Blueberryman (rename user)
  • Reason: Created my first account a few days ago and used a name that may be in violation because it loosely refers to a company that I created a page for. I chose the name as a tribute only and didn't realize (a) references to companies or promotions is frowned upon and (b) it may affect credibility pertaining to editing. I joined this commnity in good faith, create content in good faith and would rather fix the issue early than upset other members. The name Blueberryman is about as nuetral a username as I can imagine. As a new user, I welcome feedback or further instruction Bmyersinc 23:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
