Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple: Difference between revisions

Changing username/Simple
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. Instructions For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing. Once you have decided on the name you would like: Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change 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. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in. 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= 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. 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. 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.
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.

Firefoxman → FireFoxMan

• Current name: Firefoxman (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: FireFoxMan (change username)
• Reason: This way my name will be consistant with other wikis that use CamelCase. Plus, I think it looks better that way. ffm ✎talk 19:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. There's a User:FireFox as you mention on your user page. There's also the bit of the Username policy that says "..Match the name or trademark of a well-known company or group (especially if the user promotes it), unless the name is generic and could reasonably refer to something else.". I believe that both of you are referring to Mozilla Firefox, the web browser and therefore if that's not allowed, neither of you should be allowed. However as there is the similarity too - I'm not going to rename you to look slightly more similar. However I don't think I'm going to ask you to rename yourself either (unless people have strong feelings). At a brief glance you don't appear to editing articles that relate to Mozilla. Secretlondon 15:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure if one is allowed to post comments here, but I think that "Firefoxman" is more similar to "Mozila Firefox" than "FireFoxMan". According to CamelCase, "FireFoxMan" is composed by three words, which is too different from "FirefoxMan". Rjgodoy 10:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

L141414 → L04

• Current name: L141414 (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: L04 (change username)
• Reason: It is a real pain to have to type in "141414" every time. L141414 23:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

 Not done I'm not going to rename you as you have very few edits and they are mostly vandalism - blanking talk pages etc. Secretlondon 17:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• Reason #2: I have, though reported B1029 and BLhalo for being sock puppets of a sock puppeteer.--L141414 14:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

 Not done You've never even edited the encyclopedia - just your userpage and those of your friends.. Secretlondon 23:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

IanTheMacFan → Ian01

• Current name: IanTheMacFan (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Ian01 (change username)
• Reason: I want my username changed because I don't use it anymore on other sites. I use Ian01 on most sites. I checked that it's not on Special:Listusers, but I don't know if that's reliable because IanTheMacFan isn't listed... IanTheMacFan 23:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The logs say it exists which you can get by clicking on the name. this says it was created on 09:59, 10 April 2006. It meets the criteria for usurption as it hasn't made any edits. You can apply on the usurption page. Secretlondon 00:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

 Not done You need to either come up with a new name or apply for usurption. Secretlondon 11:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Wil.holmes → Jeff Holmes

• Current name: Wil.holmes (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Jeff Holmes (change username)
• Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Jeff Holmes 12:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Reason for renaming is that current user name does not reflect the article accurately.

 Not done It's not an article it's your userpage. I can see you are trying to use your userpage as an article about yourself. I suggest you look at Wikipedia:Userpage and Wikipedia:Autobiography for more details. Secretlondon 12:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Dpcelestine → Dustin Celestine

• Current name: Dpcelestine (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Dustin Celestine (change username)
• Reason: Reason: hard for visitors to locate.

 Not done Your userpage is not a suitable place for an article about yourself. Secretlondon 20:13, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thatguy69 → Drunkenmonkey

• Current name: Thatguy69 (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Drunkenmonkey (change username)
• Reason: Making usernames the same for all forums/sites I use for easy remembering, also current name I feel is rather childish now. Thatguy69 23:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you are an established user and wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at m:Steward requests/Username changes. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. WjBscribe 23:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 Not done user has applied for usurption. Secretlondon 23:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Askedoffer → Stormydaniels

• Current name: Askedoffer (talk •contribs)
• Requested name: Stormydaniels (change username)
• Reason: Feels better. —Askedoffer (talk) 08:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by Fjykbgv (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Not entirely sure what's going on here... WjBscribe 04:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Askedoffer has precisely no edits. Secretlondon 08:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Cezar theScribe → Cezar The Scribe

• Current name: Cezar theScribe (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Cezar The Scribe (change username)
• Reason: I forgot to

> hit the space bar. 63.3.9.129 03:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 63.3.9.129 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. WjBscribe 04:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Reever2 → RichyBoy123

• Current name: Reever2 (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: RichyBoy (change username)
• Reason: I would prefer to have my account completely deleted- however a change in name would be good cheers. Reever2 10:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. WjBscribe 11:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Ok RickyBoy123 please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reever2 (talk • contribs) 12:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

That name is not taken- adding a new template below. WjBscribe 16:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Current name: Reever2 (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: RichyBoy123 (change username)

As you have a (minor) block history I'm going to leave this for the moment. Secretlondon 01:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

CURRENT.Grammer → NEW.Grammar

• Current name: CURRENT.Grammer (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: NEW.Grammar (change username)
• Reason: Wrong spelling of word. Staffwaterboy 17:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by Staffwaterboy (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Not sure what's going on here- the template is wrong and the rename has been requested by a completely different account... WjBscribe 22:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I am making a grammar bot for wikiStaffwaterboy 00:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You need to be logged in to that account (ie User:CURRENT.Grammer) to request a change. We also like bots to have usernames ending in -bot. I also don't see how a grammar bot would work and people are generally against automated spelling bots. Secretlondon 01:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a User:Grammer (who isn't you) and a User:Grammar who doesn't meet the criteria for usurption. Secretlondon 01:06, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Your bot seems to be at User:Grammerbot which presumably you want moving to User:Grammarbot. However I am not going to do so as:

We will never approve a bot for something as complicated as English grammar.

I don't have confidence that you could write a good bot anyway. You couldn't even get this template right.

So -  Not done Secretlondon 01:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedian64 → Game-uh Cube

• Current name: Wikipedian64 (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Game-uh Cube (change username)
• Reason: Well, my current name is actually against Wikipedia policies, and I was warned for it, and this username I think is better, because Wikipedian64 doesn't really mean anything. Wikipedian64 22:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

By moving your userpages to the requested name you've just made things confusing and not actually changed your username. User:Game-uh Cube is still in breach of the username policy as it clearly refers to Game Cube and your username must not "Match the name of a well-known company or group". Could you come up with something else? Secretlondon 01:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Grammerbot → Grandmotherbot

• Current name: Grammerbot (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Grammarbot (change username)
• Reason: Spelled grammar wrong trying to correct. Grammerbot 12:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. WjBscribe 14:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

grammarpolicebot or Grandmotherbot —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Grammerbot (talk • contribs).

OK, well "policebot" sounds a bit official so "Grandmotherbot"? I'll add the template below. WjBscribe 17:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

• Current name: Grammerbot (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Grandmotherbot (change username)

What is this bot for? We are not approving a bot for the auto correction of English grammar, as I said before. We don't even approve bots for the auto correction of English spelling. Secretlondon 02:35, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Evilclown93 → Evilclown93

• Current name: Evilclown93 (talk • contribs)
• Note: Even though the names look identical, I'm actually registered as evilclown93, and trying to see whether it can be officially Evilclown93. Evilclown93 17:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
• Requested name: Evilclown93 (change username)
• Reason: When I registered my name, I didn't capitalise it. Even though it is automatically capitalised by Wikipedia, if you look, for example, at my editcount page, it is not capitalised. I contacted a bureaucrat a few weeks back (Nichalp), and he suggested that I try to file a request to see what the function can do. I prefer my name to be capitalised. Thanks in advance. Evilclown93 17:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 Not done The tools don't co-operate, alas. It changes the capitalisation on the form so that I rename from Evilclown to Evilclown - and hence don't do anything. Sorry. Secretlondon 23:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Worth a try, anyways. Evilclown93 12:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Aflusche → Andrew Flusche

• Current name: Aflusche (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Andrew Flusche (change username)
• Reason: I would like my username to be my real name, so people can readily identify me. Aflusche 04:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm concerned about self promotion as your only edits to the encyclopedia have been in that area. Secretlondon 23:52, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Luctor IV → Luctor

• Current name: Luctor IV (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Luctor (change username)
• Reason: The EN-Wiki is the only wiki where I still use the IV suffix. At every other wiki I'm known as Luctor. Luctor 14:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 14:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Ronald20 → Ronald Molina

• Current name: Ronald20 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Ronald Molina (change username)
• Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Ronald20 04:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use.

The account has not made any contributions and has no log entries, however it was created very recently. In 6 months if the account still has not made any contributions, you may request usurpation of the username. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 18:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

It was made today actually. Did you make it? Secretlondon 19:57, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

If you did make it - can you log in as it and post here? Secretlondon 21:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Thugchildz → THUGCHILDz

• Current name: Thugchildz (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: THUGCHILDz (change username)
• Reason: nothing really special just want to change to uppercase, that's all. THUGCHILDz 07:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

You have an extensive block log. Secretlondon 19:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It seems all those block and unblocks were for a single incident on Jan 9th (Shanel blocked for 24 hours, then made it indefinite, then reverted it back to 24 hours). The events they relate to happened nearly 4 months ago, might you be willing to reconsider? WjBscribe 20:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I see that - but just to change capitalisation seems so trivial when it leads to his block record being lost. I see that he's redirecting his userpage to the different capitalisation so not getting new messages notices etc.. I've removed the notdone template so the bot doesn't archive. I'm minded not to rename at all if they have a block record considering that the system is broken in this regard. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks though. Secretlondon 22:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I was blocked once in my early stages of being a member for breaking the 3rr rule, which I wasn't even aware of at that time and since then I have contributed a lot to this project. I have worked to get the cricket world cup to an FA article and I continue to contribute to the articles. I would like you to reconsider it since, at the time I was block I really was still doing things in good faith but just not according to the policies because I was ignorant of them at the time. I think I contribute enough to be forgiven for that. The capitalization might not seem a big deal but It kind of does to me since the user name means something to me and z is separate from the rest because it's intended work as "'s" and all together meaning child of a thug, and the thug being the world. The latter part isn't supposed to be taken in a negative way but that life in this world is tough and "thugish" but you still gotta live. Will you please reconsider?--THUGCHILDz 03:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

ok.  Done Secretlondon 17:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!--THUGCHILDz 01:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

BergerKing → KingB

• Current name: BergerKing (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: KingB (change username)
• Reason: It sounds too much like "Burger King." I didn't know that, B/C I'm in rural asia. BergerKing 16:41, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 18:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Two Sixteen Dot Eleven Dot Two Twenty-Two Dot Twenty-One → Two-Sixteen

• Current name: Two Sixteen Dot Eleven Dot Two Twenty-Two Dot Twenty-One (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Two-Sixteen Dot Eleven Dot Two-Twenty-Two Dot Twenty-One (change username)
• Reason: It looks silly without the hyphenation. - Two-Sixteen.11.222.21 16:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: Don't you think that both usernames are a bit long and difficult for other users to remember/type? Our Username policy lists as inappropriate usernames that are "extremely lengthy" or contain "a lengthy repetition, or apparently random sequence" of numbers. WjBscribe 17:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Or "Resemble an IP address" which this clearly does despite the attempted work round. Secretlondon 19:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

But your denial of a namechange doesn't change the fact that I'm already named Two Sixteen Dot Eleven Dot Two Twenty-Two Dot Twenty-One... Perhaps I could change it to "Two-Sixteen"? - Two-Sixteen.11.222.21 15:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Forcing you to change your name is different but I would expect you to be made to at some point. Would you like to be renamed to User:Two-Sixteen? Secretlondon 17:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay. - Two-Sixteen.11.222.21 18:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

EdBoy002 → EdBoy

• Current name: EdBoy002 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: EdBoy (change username)
• Reason: The numbers are useless, especially because I never use them anymore, and prefer it without them. It makes my name easier to remember, too. ~ EdBoy^[c] 21:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

KaplanKrazies → 832GeorgeForemanfan

• Current name: KaplanKrazies (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: 832GeorgeForemanfan (change username)

Kristinsherk → Ieditoronly2007

• Current name: Kristinsherk (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Ieditoronly2007 (change username)
• Reason: I didn't know in using a real name as my user log-in that a real name would be posted for all to see. I would actually like my entire account removed. I have undid the two spelling corrections I added. I had no clue how this site works and I'd like this name removed from this site completely.

Rocksong → Peter Ballard

• Current name: Rocksong (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Peter Ballard (change username)
• Reason: I've decided I'd rather use my real name. p.s. Please re-create old account after, so I can set up redirects. Rocksong 05:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Tobias Bär → Tobi B.

• Current name: Tobias Bär (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Tobi B. (change username)
• Reason: I changed my user name in German Wikipedia from Tobias Bär (my real name) to Tobi B. and I also want to do this here, if possible. Thanks for the effort. Tobias Bär 09:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Certified.Gangsta → NWA.Rep

• Current name: Certified.Gangsta (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: NWA.Rep (change username)
• Reason: This change is requested due to traumatic effects after the conclusion of my arbCom case. I wish to change my username as a gesture to a change of my attitude on wikipedia.--Certified.Gangsta 10:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: It does not appear that the ArbCom case is in fact over (see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram/Proposed decision, where there has been no motion to close). It has been previously suggested that its isn inappropriate to rename users under ArbCom sanction (as it appears this user will be for the next year). In addition, Certified.Gangsta has an extensive block history that would not be reattributed during the rename. WjBscribe 16:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I request the bureaucrats not change Certified.Gangsta's user name. User:Certified.Gangsta was previously known as the following usernames before he changed his username twice.

• Freestyle.king (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• Bonafide.hustla (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• Certified.Gangsta (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Certified.Gangsta was previously known as Bonafide.hustla and Freestyle.king before he changed his username twice in an attempt to hide his previous block log and misrepresent his identity. That is not the purpose of Wikipedia:Changing username. Certified.Gangsta has a very extensive and substantial block history that would not be reattributed during the rename. See this user's previous block log [1] [2] [3]. In addition, Certified.Gangsta is currently facing ArbCom sanctions and the ArbCom case is not over, so it is inappropriate to rename this user; see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram. See diffs here [4]. LionheartX 23:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Of the provided block logs, the only block of bonafide.hustla that wasn't retracted also blamed the revolverocelotx/LionheartX. And the only blocks of Certified.Gangsta were either for one second (not a real block), imposed for having the same practical joke on his user talk page that other people also have, retracted as being a mistake, or imposed for violating the spirit of 3RR, but not the letter.

The arbitration conclusions (whatever they end up being) can just as easily be applied to the new username, and block logs from previous usernames clearly are being easily traced, since they are constantly being used as ammunition. At any rate, only recent block logs needs to be quickly available at a glance, and he hasn't had a legitimate block of more than one second with his current username anyways. Bladestorm 06:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Certified.Gangsta definitely have a very extensive and long block history. I'm not talking about the blocks for "practical joke" on his userpage or the blocks that were retracted, but Certified.Gangsta's blocks for personal attacks, edit warring, and other serious policy violations. Block logs are not reattributed during the rename and they are not "easily traceable" as shown but Certified.Gangsta's recent blocks for edit warring, as they would be much longer if the admin knew about Certified.Gangsta's extensive block history. Freestyle.king/Bonafide.hustla/Certified.Gangsta are all clearly the same person who has changed his account name twice in an attempt to hide his block log and should all be treated as one individual. Certified.Gangsta have an extensive and substantial block log for vandalism, personal attacks, trolling, POV pushing, 3RR violations, edit warring, accusing established editors of vandalism, and disruptive behavior[5] [6] [7]. In any case, Certified.Gangsta is currently facing formal ArbCom sanctions and the ArbCom case is not over, so changing his username would be highly inappropriate. LionheartX 07:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Current name: HakanSükür (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
