    • This feature has been temporarily disabled. However you can change your signature under preferences. Secretlondon 16:33, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
      • There's a message on my talk asking me to confirm, since this is up and running again. For the record, yes; I'd prefer being User:Jacqui around here. Jacqui★ 13:33, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Unfortunately, we already have a User:Jacqui, although they haven't made any contributions. If this is your account, please log in and confirm. If not, you might like to be Jacqui M or Jacqui S, both of which are available. Warofdreams talk 14:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
          • Nope, unfortunately that's not me. User:Jacqui M would be fine by me, though. Jacqui★ 21:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alynna Kasmira

  • Can someone change the dot in my username to a space? (Alynna.Kasmira to Alynna Kasmira) Thanks... Alynna 00:27, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
    • You'll have to wait for sometime. The function has been temporarily disabled. User:Nichalp/sg 05:44, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Confirming my request - I would still like this change to be made. --Alynna 21:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] U238

  • I would like to change my user name from "Unabomber" to "U238" once the feature is re-opened, so that some people don't get offended. No rush on this, and thank you! Unabomber 17:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Hello, I posted a request back when the feature was disabled, and would like to confirm the request of changing my name from "Unabomber" to "U238" . Thank you! Unabomber 17:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Russell E

  • If/when the suspension is lifted, I would like to change my username to "User:Russell" because my current name is an embarassing hangover from when I was younger and stupider ;-) --Rkundalini 13:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
    • User:Russell exists but has no edits so we can't rename you to that. You can suggest a different name - or just change your signature in preferences. Secretlondon 14:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Sorry, it did not occur to me that a user could exist without a user page. Could I please have User:Russell E then? --Rkundalini 01:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
        • As requested in the talk page, I confirm that I still would like my username changed as requested. --11:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Danny Yee

  • Please move "Dannyyee" to "Danny Yee" - I didn't realise spaces were possible when I signed up! -- Danny Yee 09:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Just to confirm I'd still like this done. (I assume it won't break any of the existing links/signatures.) -- Danny Yee 13:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DVD+R/W

  • If I can ask for a 500 editday present, it would be to change my user name to user:DVD which is taken but unused or user:DVD+R/W. Where I can link the R to my contribs and the W to my talkpage. I would rather do that as DVD and do the fancy links with my signature preferencesDVD+R/W 21:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
    • How about DVD R W or David Rowe? DVD+ R/W 15:12, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Latapie

  • I'd like to change the former Vrykolaka (that I chose partly because Wikipedia didn't support spaces by the time I registered) to David Latapie. I know the feature is currently disabled, I just enter the request now in order to be in th queue line, once the feature will be available again. BTW, had this feature been disabled on all Wikipedias, or only on the English one? Reply to David Latapie 00:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
I hereby confirm, as requested by Warofdreams, that I still apply for the changing. Vrykolaka => David Latapie. Thank you Reply to David Latapie 23:15, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Analogdemon

Please change my username "K1vsr" to "Analogdemon". I would just create a new account except I want to be able to bring my edit count and watchlist over with me. Thank you! --K1vsr (talk) 20:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Encyclopedist

I would like to change mine once again from "V. Molotov" to "User:Encyclopedist" because I have received complaints that my username is bordering on "username policy" Image:Smilie.gifMolotov Image:Caranimationforvmolotov.gif (talk) e
 19:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Come to think of it, I will change it. Just so I don't get blocked off another RfA for a lame excuse tha5t my name is on borderline policy. I'll just have to spend an entire day changing a whole bunch of links. Sorry about the confusion! Molotov (talk) 06:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ann Heneghan

I have felt uneasy for some time about using my real name on Wikipedia, especially since I edit on some very controversial subjects. I have also had some very nasty threatening messages sent to my talk page, with hints of finding out my real address and sending me a letter bomb in the post. (These messages came from anonymous IP addresses, and from users who created the accounts specially to target me. In all cases, they were promptly blocked.) Also, my RfA is just coming to an end, and will almost certainly be successful, unless I get about seventeen oppose votes in the next fourteen hours. And I have noticed that admins get a lot more threatening messages than ordinary users. I would like to changed my account name from Ann Heneghan to Musical Linguist. I'm not aiming for 100% anonymity. I will inform the other users who edit on the same pages, though in some cases I may inform them by private e-mail. I just think it would be a good idea to have more anonymity than I have at present.

I know that admins are supposed to say that they're admins when requesting name changes, as extra changes have to be made in such cases. All I can say is that I believe I'm very likely to be an admin by this time tomorrow. However, if it makes things easier for the bureaucrat who carries out this change for me, I'm quite happy not to get my "new tools" until after it has been done. Many thanks. Ann Heneghan (talk) 12:40, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ρ ħ Φ ę n i χ Đ r ę ą đ

I would like to request a change of my current username " Phoenix dread " to " Ρ ħ Φ ę n i χ Đ r ę ą đ " so that it will be consistent with my page User:Ρ ħ Φ ę n i χ Đ r ę ą đ. Thanks.

-- Ρ ħ Φ ę n i χ Đ r ę ą đ 16:51, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hrvoje Simic

  • Please change my username from "Hrvoje.simic" to "Hrvoje Simic". Thanks. Hrvoje Šimić 15:01, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Change Request David Jones

[edit] Skyodyssey

I request my user name Skyodyssey be changed to Evolauxia for more privacy. Thanks. Skyodyssey 23:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Bechtel

Could someone please change my username from "Michael Bechtel" to "Alfador" or if that is taken "Oni Ookami Alfador" In retrospect it was a very bad idea to use my name for the account. Thanks so much. --MB 18:15, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Changed to the latter, since the former was indeed taken. — Dan | talk

[edit] CrazySunshine

Could you please change my user name from User: CrazySunshine to User:Charlieage Thanks so much! CrazySunshine 05:46, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DooMDrat

Please change my name from User:DooMDrat to User:Drat. I could've sworn Drat was taken when I registered a year ago. Must've been my imagination. Thanks.--DooMDrat 13:42, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Metanexus

Please change my user name from Metanexus to Candlemelting. I want to change because using this name could imply that I speak for Metanexus officially (which I do not), rather than simply attempting to clarify what I know of the Metanexus Institute mission and work. Thanks.

[edit] Joshuaschroeder

Please change my user name from User:Joshuaschroeder to User:ScienceApologist. I no longer want my name associated with Wikipedia as I have decided to leave. Thank you. --Joshuaschroeder 04:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] JonathanKing

Please change my username from User:jonathanking@mac.com to User:JonathanKing as I mistakenly used my email address in my username and for privacy and spam purposes would like it changed. Thank you for the assistance! JonathanKing 16:58, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gkhan

I would like to change my username to "Oskar Sigvardsson" (which is my real name). gkhan 01:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ASusnjar to Aleksandar Šušnjar

I registered with my current username (Asusnjar) before realizing that it is searchable, appears publically and has its own article. I'd like to change it to "Aleksandar Šušnjar" or "Aleksandar Susnjar" if only ASCII characters are allowed. Thank you! User:Asusnjar | talk, 18:37, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neo-Jay

Please change my name from Pengyanan to Neo-Jay. Thank you so much. --Pengyanan 08:08, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Done. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:36, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Many thanks! --Neo-Jay 08:41, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] beneaththelandslide

Please change my name from <name removed> to beneaththelandslide. Just looking for something which doesn't include my real name for anonymity purposes. Thankyou. - <name removed> 00:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Done =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sciurinæ

Please change my username from "Nightbeast" to "Sciurinæ". Thanks in advance. Nightbeast 14:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eject

Please change my username from "MasterOfNone" to "Eject" because "MasterOfNone is Stupid. Optionally if this name is unavailable, please change it to "Web Extruder", which has the benefit of being at least only Silly. MasterOfNone 19:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Changed to "Eject". — Dan | talk 03:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] jguk.

I would like to change all edits from my User:Jongarrettuk to User:Jguk.. Many thanks, jguk 14:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid we can only move edits to a nonexistent account. — Dan | Talk 02:54, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh, never mind, I think I understand - at first I thought the period was a typo. To be sure, however, could you confirm that the username to which you want them moved is "Jguk."? — Dan | Talk 03:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Confirmed. I have long wanted to remove my real name from WP credits, hence this request, jguk 07:50, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Might I suggest something less confusing, like user:Jguk 2 (or something along those lines). That period could easily escape notice, or worse, could be confused with someone impersonating you. Raul654 01:14, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't intend to use the account, just hide my real name a wee bit more! jguk 10:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I see someone has already tried impersonating me by creating the account User:Jguk.. I'm quite happy with User:Jguk 2 (or indeed any other sensible name that uses "jguk" and not my real name, jguk 18:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Changed to Jguk 2. — Dan | talk

[edit] Christopher Parham

I'd like to rename my account to use the appropriate spacing/capitalization, if this is not too much trouble. Christopher Parham (talk) 05:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TML1988

I would like my username changed to "TML1988" to reflect my initials and my birth year (I originally wanted "TML" but apparently someone has taken that up already). --Metric1031 17:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] William Allen Simpson

Please move from CamelCase User:WilliamAllenSimpson to spaced User:William Allen Simpson. I was remembering older days when I typed the name. William Allen Simpson 11:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AnodeCathode

I would like to change my user name User:Xandrix to User:AnodeCathode. The former name is the name of another person. AnodeCathode 04:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] JaroX

As soon as I created my account I noticed I wrote it wrong and decided to come here and straighten the name issue right from User:Jlarnos to User:JLarnos. But when I read what had happened to Jossifresco I got a bit scared and really wouldn't like to show my surname around, so I'd like my username to something less personal like User:JaroX. -- JaroX 21:10, 13 December 2005 (GMT+2)

[edit] Cleon Teunissen

I would like to have my user name User:Cleon_Teunissen changed to User:Cleonis
The edit counter rates me at 1300 edits so far.
Admittedly, there is no pressing necessity.
I created my user account in the beginning of 2005. I did not anticipate that wikipedia allows Google to also search and index the Talk pages, I was quite surprised to start finding myself in Google searches. My current user name is my full name. I'd like better privacy, so if possible please change my user name, so that in due course the Google caches will no longer have pages featuring my name. --Cleon Teunissen | Talk 00:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Apjake

I respectfully request that my username be changed to User:Search4Lancer. My current username, Apjake, not only incorporates my first name, but it is a username that I have not been known by on any other site for years, and I haven't the slightest idea what got into my head to make it my username here. I think it was because I wasn't expecting to be as active as I am and plan to be in the Wikipedia community. My edit count is enough that I don't want to lose all those edits. Thanks! Lancer Sykera 11:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lillabullero

If possible, I'd like my name changed to "Lillabullero"--Second thoughts about using parts of my actual name. Thanks! Bmschmidt 18:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naconkantari

I'd like to change my username because it contains my name. If possible, I'd like it changed to Naconkantari. Britt 04:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ALC Washington

I'd like to change my username because it contains my first initial and full last name, and because I use it as a handle elsewhere. Like those who came before me, I cam concerned about Google searches. With time, caches with my current use name would disappear on Google. It would also allow me to more freely edit pages about Washington think tanks and schools without worrying about issues within the workplace. At the moment, I don't feel free to do so. So, if possible, I would like it changed to ALC Washington. Thanks a lot. Aconnelly 20:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] UrineForGas

I gave UrineForGas (talk · contribs) a usernameblock but she wants to be renamed Carie (talk · contribs) (which does not exist) — Dunc|☺ 11:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] JudyAnne

Please change my name from User:JudyAnne to User:quiltpatch I just joined and hadn't realized the importance of using a nickname.

[edit] Adamlorenz@comcast.net

Please change my user name from User:Adamlorenz@comcast.net to User:kungfuadam. When I signed up for Wikipedia, I didn't realize that the username was so visible on the site. I don't want my email address for all to see. --Adam (talk) 21:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sassr

Please change my name from User:Sassr to User: splash22386. I didn't know anonymousity was important. I have only 32 edits. Thanks. 00:44 18 December 2005

[edit] Jossifresco

Since becoming an admin and being very active in RC patrol fighting vandalism of Wikipedia I started receiving a large number of hate email, some of which are quite frightening in their tone. My current user name is also my real name and I am concerned for my privacy. I would kindly request to chage it to User:jossi or user:jossif if not available. Please note that I have more than 9,000 edits, and I know this may be a problem, but I need to do something about it before something bad happens.≈ jossi fresco ≈ t • @ 16:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Done -- Tim Starling 02:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thank you so much. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 03:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
