[edit] Tajik-afghan → iBookit

Your request seems ok, but you should notice that, due to a limitation of our software, the first letter of a username must be capitalized. As a result, your username, as you have requested it, would end up being "IBookit", instead of the "iBookit" you typed. Can you confirm that you'd still want that username regardless of that? I'm asking because this is a common format where the "i" is often expected to be in lowercase, so I'm wondering if that would have been your intention. If it was, I'm sorry but our software makes it impossible, and you might want to select a different username. Or confirm it, and we can rename you to "IBookit". Thank you.

Not done No answer, no namechange. Essjay (Talk) 05:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 62_(number) → 62

  • Current name: 62_(number) (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: 62 (change username)
  • Reason: I want to usurp it. It's been a few days since I put a message on 62's talk page. It's likely that 62 is not using the account. I really want the username. If I cannot usurp it now, when can I? 62 (number) 11:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name. DarthVader 11:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Requests for usurp can be made at this page, but these requests are not carried out at this time. DarthVader 11:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I already made a request on that page. According to Wikipedia:Usurpation, you have to wait 30 days. January 24, 2007 is 30 days from when I put the message on 62's talk page. I want to usurp it then. If Wikipedia:Usurpation does not become policy, it will be bad. People will not be able to get good usernames. Wikipedia will go out of business. Please make Wikipedia:Usurpation policy. You have done usurpations before. 62 (number) 13:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Not done We don't do usurpations, and that proposal is not a policy. Until it becomes one, requests do not belong on this page. Being abusive will not get your request done outside policy, but it will get you blocked for being abusive. Essjay (Talk) 23:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 62 → 62_(renamed)

Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be changed; this request was made by 62 (number) (talk). Please log in to the account that is to be changed and make the request. DarthVader 11:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pottenkulam → Joseph

  • Current name: Pottenkulam (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Joseph (change username)
  • Reason: I've been editing without logging in, for months. purely for reasons of privacy. the existng user:joseph made one edit, which was deleted, and it ended at that. can this be usurped? -- joseph 00:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name.— Deon555talkdesksign here! 01:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
requested a usurp... i'll ask again when that comes through.joseph 02:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Not done Essjay (Talk) 02:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

umm... is okay, perhaps i haven't quite understood the usurp policy/proposal... but thanks anyway...
We have to use the template for the bot that archives the page; if the usurpation policy is enacted, you are welcome to bring the request back. Essjay (Talk) 03:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DonaldD23 → Donaldd23

  • Current name: DonaldD23
  • Requested name: Donaldd23 (merge?)
  • Reason: When I first starting using Wikipedia I created an account DonaldD23, with the 3rd D capitalized. I made about 4 edits before I somehow created a second account, Donaldd23, with the 3rd D in lowercase. I stopped using the first account and now I strictly use only the account with the lowercase letter. Is it possible to merge the edits from the first account into the second account and then delete the account with the capitalized D? If not, could you just change the name of the first account (with the capital D to something else? I don't want there to beany confusion that I am running 2 accounts, as this is the first time I have logged into the old account since I began the new one. Thanks! DonaldD23 23:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

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. =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shinju Dan → Shinju

[edit] Mohamed Ishan → LeX

  • Current Name: Mohamed Ishan (talk)
  • Requested Name: LeX
  • Reason: The current user name has my actual name in it. Also i have contributed alot on dhivehi wikipedia (dv:wikipedia) so please change my dhivehi user name too. there are no Bureaucrats in dhivehi wikipedia
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.
As for your request concerning a different Wikipedia, notice that local Bureaucrats only have access to the tools within their local project, which means that the Bureaucrats on this Wikipedia can only change usernames for accounts on this Wikipedia. If the Wikipedia in question does not have a Bureaucrat, you need a Steward to do the rename. Redux 13:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Not done per above; also, User:LeX already exists. Warofdreams talk 04:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wariovvare-2007 → Warioware Inc. 2007

  • Comment This is being added by me on behalf of Wariovvare-2007 who is currently blocked. See [1] and [2]. Just be aware that there is a Warioware company, so I'm not sure how this should be approached, but I'll leave it up to our trusted Bureaucrats :) Metros232 02:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment This user has since been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of Eddie Segoura. [3] Sarah 16:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olliepp → Random-Person-In-Hell-123456789-123456789

Can I suggest you take a look at WP:USERNAME? The name you want is innappropriate. --Majorly (Talk) 16:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done per inappropriate username requested. Please select something else after reading our username policy and post again. Redux 12:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lucien Liz-Lepiorz → Lu07

Template used incorrectly. Please notice that if you misspell your username or forget to use the underscore in usernames containing spaces, the template will not work properly for the Bureaucrat processing your request. Remember that usernames are case-sensitive, so please be careful about the capitalization; your username must be entered in the template exactly like it is spelled. In addition, please do not try to either create the links manually or to copy and paste the links from someone else's request and adapt them. This will probably result in mistakes that will also make the template unhelpful to the Bureaucrats and cause your request to be denied. Always use the standard template indicated in the instructions. Your help is greatly appreciated. Redux 20:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Not done per above. Warofdreams talk 01:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oasdlfkj → 1715

  • Current name: Oasdlfkj (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: 1715 (change username)
  • Reason: Solely privacy concerns. Should have thought of it earlier. I do not like it when Google lists my WP userpage in the first line when searching on my name. 1715 is a good beer brand :).--Oasdlfkj 18:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Numbers are usually considered to be not very suitable usernames. Request you to reconsider a new username. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fijiadmin → rogorua

  • Current name: Fijiadmin (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: rogorua (change username)
  • Reason: i'm sure the reason is obvious to any beaurocrat :) i'm not a wikipedia admin... though i'd love to be .. where do i apply? :) . -- 210.7.25.7 08:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note:You need to sign in to your account, and make the request again, to prove you are infact, User:Fijiadmin. You apply for adminship at WP:RfA — Deon555talkdesksign here! 08:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Seeing as you are currently blocked, you can't request a change while logged in. You can either log in and leave a note on your talk page to note this is infact Fijiadmin making the request (or request that you be unblocked in order to make the request while logged in), or much more simply, just create a new account and start from scratch. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 08:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I have temporarily unblocked this account so that the user can confirm his/her request. A note posted on user's talk page. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done - new request made below. Warofdreams talk 01:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki_is_Freaakky. → Joe_Planeteer

  • Current name: Wiki_is_Freaakky. (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Joe_Planeteer (change username)
  • Reason: Would like a better name without a period at the end Wiki is Freaakky. 15:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done You have just 27 edits with this account (one to post this request). You can simply create the new account that you want and start editing from it. However, it seems that your username is inspired on Joe Dedrio, who voiced one of the characters in the animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers (hence "Joe Planeteer")? It would be better to stay clear of real life people. Redux 03:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Not at all. I just want to keep my edit history and count. If anything, can you make it WP Planeteer? Wiki is Freaakky. 05:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
You would need to place a new request. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frotz661 → Frotz

  • Current name: Frotz661 (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Frotz (change username)
  • Reason: When I started my account on Wikipedia, I initially wanted to use Frotz, but was told that it was already taken. After getting a better feel for how Wikipedia works, I noticed that there doesn't appear to already be a user named "Frotz". -- Frotz661 09:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: Nevertheless, the username is taken.. User:Frotz has 0 edits, so you might be able to request an usurp here although the wait is indefinite at the time being... — Deon555talkdesksign here! 00:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GMS508 → micah

  • Current name: GMS508 (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: micah (change username)

[edit] Andrewn → AndrewN

  • Current name: Andrewn (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: AndrewN (change username)
  • Reason: I'm not sure why the capitalization didn't come out properly, but the word Andrewn seems very strange. Thank you. -- Andrewn 08:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Not done User:AndrewN exists. Please choose another username. Use Special:Listusers to check on the availability. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LeftBlank.NL → Leftblanknl

  • Current name: LeftBlank.NL (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Leftblanknl (change username)
  • Reason: Current name not valid according to the rules, new one has higher readability due to lowercase. -- LeftBlank.nl 15:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Current name: MSpacek (talk • contribs)

[edit] Vladyslav_Savelo → LI_V

  • Current name: Vladyslav_Savelo (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: LI_V (change username)
  • Reason: Privacy reason. Write articles for Wikipedia is not my most important activity in life. Despite it Google is mentioning my name predominantly with Wikipedia. -- Vladyslav Savelo 17:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done - we already have a User:LIV. Warofdreams talk 03:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Budgiekiller → BK

  • Current name: Budgiekiller (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: BK (change username)
  • Reason: Several users have noted that my current username could be considered offensive - it stems from a sporting rivalry, however I'd like to remove the ambiguity. -- Budgiekiller 08:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done - we already have a User:BK. Warofdreams talk 13:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teofil_Bartlomiej → Working_for_Him

  • Current name: Teofil_Bartlomiej (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Working_for_Him (change username)
  • Reason: Alright my last request was denied cuz apparently religious names "aren't appropriate" which I'm sorry I just believe that's ridiculous. Anyway I'm not gonna lie I did choose this new one for religious purposes so I hope this one works. I originally chose to change my name cuz my current one is too hard to pronounce. -- Teofil Bartlomiej 15:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Note: this user has already had several name changes. Will leave for another bureaucrat to decide. Warofdreams talk 03:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deepujoseph → Deepu

  • Current name: Deepujoseph (talk • contribs)

  • Current name: EricSG13 (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Latop1313 (change username)
  • Reason: I have multiple other accounts on other sites that use the name Laptop1313 and I would prefer to have the same username for all of them as that would be easier to remember. -- EricSG13 17:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done You have only 4 edits overall with your current account, 3 of them to post this request. You may simply create the account with the name that you want and start editing from it. If you wish, you may also turn the user page and the talk page of your current account into redirects to your new account's relevant pages, so as to establish that you control them both — but preferably, please opt for just one of them to edit from.

  • Current name: Estavisti (talk • contribs)

[edit] Nirajrm → Niraj

  • Current name: Nirajrm (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Niraj (change username)
  • Reason: My real name is Niraj and I want to use it!, at the time of registering I had registered with Nirajrm as I do with my email IDs (as they are hard to register with niraj)! Hope I can get it, Thanks in advance!!! -- Nirajrm talk 05:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BradGoddard → Bdg7

  • Current name: BradGoddard (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Bdg7 (change username)
  • Reason: Increased privacy. -- BradGoddard 17:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Suggestion: Your account has less than 100 edits. If you have this username changed to the desired one, there will still be a trail from the old account name to the new account name. See the log. If you simply abandon your current account, and begin a new one, there will be no such trail and you're losing credit for less than 100 edits. --Durin 21:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Does that affect the stability of my past edits? Or can I just pick up where my one username dropped off? BradGoddard 02:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure what you mean by stability. If you abandon an account, any editing that account did will still be extant unless later supplanted by edits of another account. You can just pick up editing with your new account, unaffected by anything the prior account has done. --Durin 03:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks! I appreciate your suggestion. BradGoddard 04:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Just to clarify, is your intention still to change the username or are you abandoning it and starting a new one? --Durin 14:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
        • I'll start a new account. Thanks! BradGoddard 18:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tyson_Moore → Special_K

  • Current name: Tyson_Moore (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Special_K (change username)
  • Reason: When I registered, I used my name, but now I would like a slightly higher level of anonymity (and a 20 points higher score on the Wikipediaholic test. (joke)). Also, there isn't already a user with Special K as their name (or, I made a really stupid mistake, and there is a user with that name with no edits) -- Tyson Moore 01:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC) WITHDRAWN BY USER Tyson Moore 21:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John_Kenney → John_K

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name. Daniel.Bryant 21:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Does User:John k work? That being said, User:John K has no edits, and given that I've been editing here for years and always sign my posts "john k," it seems to me that I should have dibs on User:John K, anyway, since anybody else using that name would be easily confused with me. But whatever. john k 05:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note • Please list this request under the usurpation subpage if this is your wish. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 21:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Sigh, whatever, this is all too complicated. I'll withdraw the request for now. john k 21:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 149.43.x.x → Cheeser1

  • Current name: 149.43.x.x (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Cheeser1 (change username)
  • Reason: I seem to have not read the naming policy as carefully as I'd have liked. My current username resembles an IP address, and it should not. The proposed new username is one I've used in other contexts, and seems best to use here too. Thanks. -- 149.43.x.x 03:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Not done - we already have a User:Cheeser. Please choose a more distinctive name. Warofdreams talk 23:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • We also have a User:Cheeser1138, but the two have a combined 8 edits, 7 of which are over a year old (and the other edit is 6 months old). Judging by precedent on this page and its archives, it seemed reasonable for me to request such a change. For example, a username was changed to Tapir2001 although a Tapir55 and Tapirs65 seem to have already existed, and likewise Nat32 was given to a user (several similar usernames[5] existed before that name change, eg Nat2 and Nat3). Usernames with no edits are also overwritten (Cheeser1138 has no edits, actually) -- precident for that is in a name change to MRSC and the previously mentioned Nat32.
Usernames differentiated by numbers, in my experience, aren't really confusing (eg. Bob1987 vs. Bob666 vs. Bob). How distinctive should it be? Would CheeserOne be appropriate? Or Cheeser123? Cheeser11? I'm trying to figure out what the guidelines for "distinctive" are, because what I submitted seemed fine (to me and by precedent) and is my username everywhere else -- I don't have any idea what other username I'd want to use and if there is no specific ruling on what "distinctive" means, would it not make sense to rule by precedent (which I've cited) or get a second opinion on this matter? I don't want to sound combative or indignant or anything, I'm certainly not in any such state, I'm just seriously confused as to how these guidelines on "distincitiveness" are interpreted/enforced. And I mean, I could just as easily go register under the username Cheeser1, I'm just trying to play fair and give my contributions continuity, for the Wikipedia's sake (and to keep credit where it's due without splitting things up). Thanks. 149.43.x.x 03:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Done User raised the issue on my talk page, I believe the request was archived before the user's note could be evaluated. Essjay (Talk) 22:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
