[edit] Project Coordinates → Circle High

  • Current name: Project Coordinates (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Circle High (rename user)
  • Reason: I made up my username before I was aware that a Wikiproject with a similar name existed. Now people write me with questions I don't know the answers to. I would like to change to Circle High because I tend to work on putting coordinates on high schools, and the view from above makes me think of circling high above them. Thanks.

I would greatly appreciate this user name change as it would incease my anonymity- even if i did decide to return as a user on Wikipedia.

Thank you. Just one question: a bout preventing impersonators, the now old account it is not deleted, right? Tasc0 02:08, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
The old account no longer exists so could theoretically be created. However, I suspect the old name may be too similar to your new name for Wikipedia's software to allow it in this case. Try loging out and creating an account called Tasco 0 - one of two things will happen: either (1) you won't be able to and will then know that no one else can or, (2) it will allow it but then you'll have created the account yourself so it again it won't be possible for anyone to impersonate you.

The link yi:יידישע וויקיפעדיע#לערי_ריינהארט links to a project of the Wikimedia Foundation the Yiddish Wikipedia.

Clerk note: If your name is changed here (Which I assume it will be per Unified Login), could you redirect its English equivalent to your userpage to minimize confusion and make it easier for users to contact you? -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 01:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't see what any issue would be here. He wants the name “לערי ריינהארט” - it‘s a simple copy-paste. And redirects are created automatically during renames, so unless you delete them when renaming, that’s a non-issue. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: I'm conscious that renames to non-latin usernames have been declined in the past - see [3], [4] - and a related discussion at the Bureaucrat noticeboard. I'm a little reluctant to unilaterally change the approach to these and find Cecropia's argument quite persuasive. Given the inconvenience likely to be caused to other users, are renames to non-latin names desirable? WjBscribe 18:59, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I generally agree with you. The only counter argument is single user login which may or may not happen. Secretlondon (talk) 20:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I have no objection to this. Unicode fonts are daily more common; copy-and-paste is easy enough. Surely Gangleri will be considerate enough to make the transliteration clear (perhaps in a signature or some such). This is a hard-working and longtime contributor who might just as well have registered his username in Hebrew to begin with (new usernames, contradictorily, are allowed to contain non-Latin characters). Refusing to change his name now seems purposelessly punitive. — Dan | talk 08:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I read the Help files on that and it's why I originally used a pseudonym. Since then, though, I feel uncomfortable about it. Using my real name here won't enormously increase my exposure on the web: for years, I've used my real name on my website and on screen writing and gay fiction sites. Now I also use it on my Wordpress blog, my photo site, and my slide sharing site.

[edit] Congolese → Congolese fufu

  • Current name: Congolese (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Congolese fufu (rename user)
  • Reason: I request a new name because I saw that a user named Laos was blocked because Laos is a name of a country. Only by the kindness of an administrator was the person unblocked. I don't want to be blocked because someone in the future thinks my username is inappropriate as it is the name of people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I don't want a drastic name change. Congolese fufu is a name of a paste like dish. Yum yum! Congolese (talk) 06:14, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Your username is absolutely fine. Who got blocked for having Laos in their name? Secretlondon (talk) 10:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Laos (talk · contribs) was blocked. Jpgordon unblocked a day ago. hbdragon88 (talk) 22:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm horrified :( Secretlondon (talk) 23:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
The response is dreadful and I've told them so. One can edit about a developing world country without having a POV, its not $country right or wrong, and you should actually be obviously dodgy before being blocked. I'M SO SORRY. Secretlondon (talk) 23:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I am still requesting name change. Even that administrator who blocked Laos said that he or she would do it again (see link that someone put above). I do not want trouble. If you don't like fufu, let me know and I can think of something else, maybe Congolese pizza or something like that. Congolese (talk) 03:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

What I really wanted was 'debdrup', but hm. It appears that all articles have to be capitalized for the first letter. Still, Debdrup would be easier to remember than DEbdrup when signing in.

Yes, all username are capitalised; but, you can change your preferences to display your username in lowercase, even though it won't actually be. For instructions on this, please go to my talk page so I'm not clogging this page up. Cheers, Qst 12:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tuckdogg → Gromlakh

  • Current name: Tuckdogg (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Gromlakh (rename user)
  • Reason: Multiple:
    • Standardizing Internet logins across multiple sites.
    • Username "Tuckdogg" is something I frankly haven't used for years anywhere else, but I happened to have a Wikipedia account under this name so I started editing in earnest with it instead of creating a new account like I should have.
    • I have encountered other "Tuckdogg"s who take this name on other sites; "Gromlakh" seems to be fairly unique to me (it's my primary character's name on Ancient Anguish).
    • Personal preference; I don't care for the name "Tuckdogg" at all anymore and I'm trying to phase it out.

I could always create a new account, but I have a fair number of edits under this name and have become known on WP:MMA. If this request is granted I also expect to put a note on my user page explaining the name change to minimize unnecessary confusion over who I am. Tuckdogg (talk) 08:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Bureaucrat note: What language is that in? Where else do you use that name? Secretlondon (talk) 21:27, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
It's Japanese onomatopoeia for hungry. I use it various places on the internet (I'd rather not specify for anonymity's sake) and I've got a request going on Commons as well for the change. I'd be fine with PecoPeco if you don't like the Japanese characters, but I would prefer the real thing.Lemon-lime (talk) 03:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Personally I'd prefer PecoPeco as non latin characters cause problems with some users, and it's not as if you are actually editing on the Japanese wiki. Secretlondon (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
As you wish. I was planning on using a signature with the Latin characters to solve that problem, but feel free to what you think is best. (Speaking of which, I should be an editor on the Japanese Wiki. I don't know why I am not. :-) Thanks for the nudge.) Lemon-lime (talk) 21:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I am now a member of Wikipedia Japan, if that makes any difference... username: ペコペコ. Lemon-lime (talk) 23:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
