Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
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:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. 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.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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=
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.



Ipcassociation → ipc

 Clerk note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:17, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

how about ipcfriends or friendsipc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ipcassociation (talk • contribs) 15:36, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ipcassociation → ipcfriends

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: This still is not an acceptable username, as it mentions your company's name and does not clearly identify you as an individual. Find a username that has nothing to do with your company, or if you still want to have your company's name in your username, make it clear that it's operated by an individual. For example, "Example Industries" is not an acceptable username, but "John at Example Industries" is acceptable, because it makes it clear that the account is owned by an individual, not a company. You may also wish to see our conflict of interest policy with regards to editing an article about your own company. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 16:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

66.66.218.223 → SharkBytes Knox

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 66.66.218.223 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 12:41, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Khushali25 → anjali20

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered, see Special:CentralAuth/Anjali20. Please pick a new name, or file at WP:CHU/U. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 23:27, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rubecula~enwiki → Rubecula

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
@Rubecula~enwiki: Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do about this request, since the account is located on the dewiki, out of reach. You'll probably have to ask at m:SRUC, or if you know German, file a request for usurpation there. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 23:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prof Amir H Mohammadi → Amir H Mohammadi

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 03:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There already appears to be a user Amirh mohammadi (talk · contribs) which is too close to the name you requested. -- Avi (talk) 08:22, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Genisissystems → Dan Smith

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered, see Special:CentralAuth/Dan Smith. Please pick a new name, or file at WP:CHU/U. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 18:37, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SilkRoadFilmFestival → SRFF

 Clerk note: The new username is still not acceptable. Usernames cannot suggest that they are a part of a group or company, but a username that clearly denotes the owner of the account as being an individual is OK. For example, "Example Industries" is not an acceptable username because it is the name of a company. However, "John at Example Industries" is permissible, because it makes it very clear that the account is owned and operated by an individual. See WP:SHAREDACCOUNT. Please pick a new name. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 14:46, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Requesting user has been blocked for spam. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 19:39, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
