[edit] Every1blowz
Please change my current username User:Every1blowz to User:Mad Max. Even though I never intended to offend anyone with my original username, people have nonetheless taken offense to it anyway. To make sure I don't unintentionally hurt anyone else I've decided the best thing to do would be to have it changed. Thank you. --Every1blowz 18:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, wait. Did you register Mad Max before making this request? You realize that we can only change to an account that doesn't exist, right? If you registered this name (which is what it looks like) you need to confirm that by editing this page from that account, so we can rename it to free it up for renaming your original account. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 23:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, yeah, about the registering thing. I registered User:Mad Max before I realized you can change your current username (and move all of your edits to the new name) without completely starting over, which is what I was prepared to do. But then I came upon this page and realized I'd already registered Mad Max and the instructions tell you do not register the new name. Anyway, I just decided to go ahead and try and hope you didn't notice or ran into problems. I'm also not sure I know what you're talking about since I'm pretty confused, so I'll just go ahead and say if you can move Every1blowz to Mad Max that'd be great, and if you cannot then that's okay too. --Mad Max 05:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Basically, what we will do is move Mad Max to some other name, which will make that name free. We will then move Every1blowz to Mad Max. Every1blowz will no longer exist, all of it's contributions will be registered under Mad Max, and the contributions now registered to the Mad Max account will be moved to a new name, to make way for the Every1blowz contributions. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 05:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
All taken care of. You can now log in to Mad Max with the password you had set for Every1blowz. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 05:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happynoodleboy
Please change User:Happynoodleboy to User:Tim1988. I registered User:Tim1988 and started over, but then found that you can arrange to have your account name changed. You can check that both accounts were created by me: [1] - I redirected to the new account and [2] - I mention my old account there. Sorry for the confusion. --Tim 15:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Have renamed Tim1988 to Tim1988 2, and Happynoodleboy to Tim1988. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you! --Tim1988 08:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia
do i have to change it?i really thought it funny.....could i do something similar if its just that its wikipedia that you dont like?wait i thought of it...please change my username to 'kitten huffing' if you dont mind.User:Wikipedia 04:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I don't believe that is an appropriate username either; it is likely to be highly offensive to others. Please choose a less offensive option. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
wait were you saying kitten huffing was inapproprite?if so will a mod/admin/thing change my username to SPOV?Wikpedia 15:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, kitten huffing is inappropriate. SPOV is acceptible. Name change complete. And the term for a user who can change usernames is "bureaucrat." Essjay (Talk • Connect) 15:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thanks.now EVERYONE knows that i have a satirical point of viewSPOV 15:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! -- moondigger 13:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TKE
Please change my username from User:TKE to User:Teke. This is to avoid confusion with TKD, TTE, and now User:TKK. It's also all around easier as that is my signature. Thanks in advance to Essjay, because I see he's in er, was earlier. Still, thanks to whomever. Teke 03:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kenneth cochran
Please change my username from User:Kenneth cochran to User:Kenneth Cochran. Thanks in advance.
[edit] BD2412
Starting to get a little heat from vandal types tracing my identity - I presume a change from User:BD2412 to the highly anonymous User:BD2412 will not compromise my sysop status/tools? BD2412 T 19:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- In order to prevent my BD2412 username from being compromised after my username change, I've created an account to be moved there - User:Standby account - after my username change is done, please move User:Standby account to User:BD2412, and I'll log in under that name to put a note on the page that the account is no longer in use. Cheers! BD2412 T 05:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Done, and appears your sysop flag is on the correct account. Please verify this, and let me know if it is not correct, so I can sysop the correct account and have the other desysopped. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 06:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SnarkBoojum
Sorry to bother you with this so soon after a typo revision to user name, but I'd like to withdraw and get some distance. To facilitate that process, please change my user name to SnarkBoojum. Thanks in advance. FuCyfre 20:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
My thanks. SnarkBoojum 05:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] N3RUS
Please change Russcannon to N3RUS. I am requesting this so as to adopt the callsign of my US Amateur Radio license. If possible, I would like my few edits to migrate to the new account. If there is a more appropriate method of doing this, then just let me know. Thank you very much. RussCannon 13:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Good luck with your licence. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the help. 73 -- N3RUS 18:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Robeykr
Please change user:Robeykr to user:Jason Palpatine. I am requesting this so as to adopt the signature I am now currently using on the talk pages. When I first came into the comunity over a year ago, I created the account using the logo I use for my emails. With the release of Revenge of the Sith, I began using my Star Wars role playing game name to sign talk pages. I would like to make it official, If possible, I would like my edits to migrate to the new account. Thank you very much.
Regards; Jason Palpatine 18:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC) speak your mind
- Are you aware that many people prefer not to use/change their real names in wikipedia for fear of harrasement, stalking? =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
-
- An additional point for my request. Thank you. Jason Palpatine 19:44, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, now I'm confused too... You still want the change (presumably indicating that Jasonn Palpatine isn't your real name)? Essjay (Talk • Connect) 22:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
-
-
- Are you seriously saying you belive Palpatine to be my actual surname? ROTFLOL No, I adopted Jason Palpatine as an online alias in Star Wars role playing. The last name should have been a giveaway. Palpatine is the cheif villan in the Star Wars hexology. My character is his nephew and a jedi. -- Jason Palpatine 00:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
-
- Okay, now I'm confused too... The requests of the others before me and a number that came after have been "Done," but my request is still standing in limbo. Is this a rejection? -- Jason Palpatine 15:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LongIslander
Please change my username from [CarAnalyst] to [LongIslander]. --CarAnalyst 20:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gary King
Please change my username from User:GaryKing to User:Gary King. When I registered, I never knew spaces were allowed. --Gary King 05:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rajivpant to Rajiv.Pant
Please change my username from User:Rajivpant to User:Rajiv.Pant and transfer all contibutions to my new ID. Basically, I'd like to insert a period "." between my first and last names and capitalize the first letter of my last name. Thank you. Rajivpant 17:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- You've only made 4 edits. Why not just create another account? --Tim1988 17:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Done. It is, most often, easier to rename a user than to encourage them to get a new account; it tends to encourage the registration of, and temptation to use, multiple accounts. While the use of multiple accounts isn't prohibited in most cases, it is discouraged, and it's best we don't foster it in this manner. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 20:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bmt86
Please change Bmt86 to BMT. Thankyou! --BMT86 20:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikispork
Please change User:Adniel to User:Wikispork. Thanks. Adniel 15:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Johnny B. Brjatlick
Please change User:BlueRhythmJohnny to User:Johnny B..
Reason = I used to be in a band called "Blue Rhythm Johnny". I am no longer with that band, and they'd rather I drop this from all my sn's. Time for a fresh start anyway, right? (but I don't want to lose my edits, especially creating Slut Girl, which really stuck) BlueRhythmJohnny 23:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- That username already exists. Please follow the instructions at the top of the page to select a username that does not exist. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 01:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok then please change User:BlueRhythmJohnny to User:Brjatlick (may as well use my last name) - does not appear in use, and I sure never met anyone else with the name. BlueRhythmJohnny 01:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Agent 86
Please change Fluit to Agent 86 and transfer all contibutions to my new ID. I would prefer something a little more private and my current username is too close to that used for other purposes by someone I know very well. Thank you. Fluit 04:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adambrink to Adam Brink
Please change "Adambrink" to "Adam Brink" (not currently in use). I usually use adambrink, all lower case, and was not aware that you would capitalise the first letter. If it must start with a capital I would rather have my surname capitalised and spaced out too. I know the change may seem anal. But I wouldn't be editing if I wasn't anal, now would I. --Adambrink 06:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Davestraub@yahoo.com to David Straub
Please change Davestraub@yahoo.com to "David Straub." I live in China and I'm using a webproxy to accesss wikipedia. For some reason, the @ in my user names causes me not to be able to access "my contributions" and "my talk" pages. I just get a page that says "Bad Title." It's the same problem with any webproxy I use. It's really annoying. Changing the user name should work.
Just of note, any wikipedia entry that has an apostrophe in it's title is also inaccessible through the webproxies. I've tried a number of webproxies and I keep having the same problem.
- Namechange done. As for the proxy issue, your best bet would be to send an email to the wikitech-l list about it, where the developers will see it. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 12:53, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Please change Versuri to Sb184br. I left all projects. Thank you. Versuri 13:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

please change user:Morriss to MorrisS. it's my last name & first initial, but is hard to tell when it is in lowercase. thanks --Morriss 22:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
