[edit] ·ARTE· → ARTE

  • Current name: ·ARTE· (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: ARTE (change username)
  • Reason: I am using the nick "ARTE" on different projects (see links on my user page), but I was unable to register that name on the English Wikipedia since there is already a user with the similar name "Arte". Policy says that it's not possible to use names that can be confused with other contributors, but user "Arte" is not a contributor. He registered over 1 year ago but never made an edit since then. Using the name "ARTE" would be also less confusing for users of the English Wikipedia who are looking for me on other projects and vice-versa. So may I please have my name changed to "ARTE"? I will survive a negative answer... ·ARTE· 11:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] jraina93 → NPR2011

Current Name: jraina93

Requested Name: NPR2011

Reason: For privacy reasons, I wish to change my name. My current username is my first name,last name, and year of birth, and I wish to chage it to something different.

Please use the template. Using the template provides quick-links that greatly benefit the bureaucrat performing the request and reduce the time required to do so dramatically. Please see the instructions at the top of the page for more information, fill out the template as shown, and resubmit your request. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Essjay (Talk) 02:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand - the text is the same as from the template, so why the objection?
Done —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Angela (talk • contribs) 11:50, December 5, 2006.
Because users have a long history of ignoring the instructions and just doing whatever they want; we implemented the tempalte to make doing this job a little easier on us, and it's only fair to expect that users will use it. The text is indeed the same, but the links aren't there, making it take about four times as long to do which adds up when you do 20 at a time; I frequently spend an hour here doing nothing but renames, and I don't have four hours a day to offer because users can't be bothered to use the template. My experience with wiki-processes like this is that if you don't demand compliance, you'll get precisely none, so I expect that if they want the courtesy of a bureaucrat performing the username, they'll show the courtesy of using the template as asked.

[edit] Want-Angus → Angus

  • Current name: Angus (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Angus (change username)
  • Reason: This is not an usual request as I'm not the requester and it deals with a user from another language wiki. Basically, es:User:Angus (which is a long time user, admin and crat on es:) created en:User:angus but never used it, so it's an inactive account with 0 edits and won't ever be used again. So, he would like to request en:user:angus to be renamed to something different so he can get the username angus back. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I talked with Essjay about the special circumstances and he said go ahead and request here. Now, for security reasons, I'm asking him to create a new account and confirm (on es: as es:User:angus) the new username he's creating. After he does so, we'll come back and post the details here, so 1. en:user:angus can be moved, 2. the new en: username can be renamed to angus. So please don't close prematurely this request. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to note that my response to the original request can be found here. Essjay (Talk) 03:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The user has been created as en:User:Want-Angus, the diff confirming it is at [2] and I?ll ask him to drop a note here now.

Yes I confirm I want the change to get my username back. --Want-Angus 01:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't get it. If Angus was registered by you, why can't you login using that id? =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
It was a long time ago, when I first met Wikipedia, before I even considered collaborating actively with the project. Probably 2004 or 2003. I didn't register an email, and don't remember the password. --Want-Angus 12:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prashantsolomon → Prashant_Solomon

Are you sure you want to keep your username. Many wikipedians come here to change their real name to a pseudoname on privacy concerns.

Wait, someone used your account to make offensive edits, and so you want a username change? You realize that changing username moves all the edits made under the old name to the new name, so that everything in Special:Contributions/Srbrown will move to Special:Contributions/Wordcount3000. Is that what you're wanting to do? Essjay (Talk) 03:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't know if the edits would count as "offensive," but they are to entries dealing with topics I prefer not to be associated with--not as per any username, but as per "srbrown" which is too similar to my actual name. I would rather have the edits completely disassociated from me at all, but I don't think that is possible. Is it? If not, I will settle for having the username changed. Thank you for your time. [I didn't know whether you'd look back up the list, so I added this to the bottom here and deleted the earlier request. I apologize if this is wrong.]Srbrown 02:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Current name: Vox_Causa (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Vox_Rationis (change username)
  • Reason: This user name was originally created as a Latin equivalent to "Voice of Reason". However, it was mistranslated, and should be translated to "Vox Rationis", whereas "Vox Causa" translates to nonsense.(Obviously the underscores would become spaces, not underscores). Although I may not be skilled in them, I have a deep respect for languages and wish to use them properly always. Also, it would not be an option to create a new account, as I already have a substantial amount of edits.

[edit] LordSuryaofShropshire → LordSimonofShropshire

  • Current name: LordSuryaofShropshire (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: LordSimonofShropshire (change username)
  • Reason: As a Wikipedian with quite a fair number of edits and a reasonable impact on several different topics, most notably those related to Hinduism and India, also Indian languages, also some legal topics like Sandra Day O'Connor and the FOIA, my name is well-known to some and readily Google-able... unfortunately, I no longer wish to edit Wikipedia pages and Surya is my real name... I wish to 'vanish' completely, as it were, and therefore all references to names by which I am actually known in the meatworld should be removed to preserve my anonymity. I have already arranged for Bureaucrats to delete as much information as possible (for instance, from my userpage), but I would greatly appreciate a name change. By the way, if the name change does indeed get approved, I would immediately request that an administrator block the LordSuryaofShropshire account from ever being used again. Thanks for your consideration. P.S. Nichalp is someone with whom I worked some time back and who has aided my in my vanishing process, so if a bureacrat or administrator not familiar with my case would like more information, he may possibly be of some help. P.P.S. Nichalp, please don't mind my referring to you! Peace.

If my name is changed, are you going to move my old talk and user pages to the new username page? and 2. For my signature at the end, is that what I'm supposed to have here? Or should I change the preferences to have it standard like the others? I just found these a bit difficult to understand in the rules. Thank you very, very much. -- Kyo cat¿Quíeres hablar? 18:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Done All we do is the rename; if you want your user/talk pages moved, you will have to do that yourself, by clicking "move" and putting in the new name.
