[edit] Smug6 → SMUGGLER NY/LA

This is two requests, Smug6. Which rename do you want? -- Cecropia 03:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- system considers this an invalid name -- Cecropia 06:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LegendsDX7 → SpindashStudios

Clerk note: Listed at WP:USURP at 22:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC). Moved to WP:CHU as the target user name does not exist, so it can't be usurped. ~ Wikihermit 02:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- I'm confused. The target name does exist. Should this be back at WP:CHU/U? -- Cecropia 02:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Richardshusr → Richard I

N Not done Please choose another user name or list this at WP:CHU/U -- Cecropia 02:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DuranDuran → Innuendo

I don't think Innuendo is appropriate, which is why you haven't been renamed. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 16:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Not in the slighest. they originally chose a name still with Duran Duran in. Innuendo is fine as a name. Secretlondon 14:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 19:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Innuendo seems fine to be usurped if you want to apply. Otherwise come up with another name. Secretlondon 14:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- response required or should be at WP:CHU/U -- Cecropia 21:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mindys12345 → Adam.J.W.C.

  • Current name: Mindys12345 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Adam.J.W.C. (change username) (from secure login)
  • Reason: 1. Mindy is a girls name. I didn't realise at the begining there would be some kind of page history where the name would show up every time you make and edit and also didn't realise at the begining that there would be talk pages and stuff like that as well. Also Mindys is the name of my dog now I would like my own name with initials at the end. --AdamJWC 02:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC) aka --HumphryTheFunLovingFellow 07:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Robot clerk's notes: Mindys12345 does not have any history of being renamed in the logs HBC RenameClerkBot 08:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: This request was made previously and declined by both Secretlondon and Nichalp, see archive entry. The objectionable content appears to have now been removed - there is still the issue that the block log entry won't be moved during the rename. WjBscribe 13:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
The user has on their userpage that they want to be known as User:Wonder-Contributor temporarily. *If* we rename this person they are ONLY being renamed once. They only have one entry on their blocklog so I'm not too concerned with that, and all the racist material has left their userpage. Secretlondon 14:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- Twice rejected and Secretlondon did not promote again -- Cecropia 21:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historicsatrts → Historychanges

Please state your reason, and request it while logged in to the account in question. Warofdreams talk 01:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- requester hasn't stated a reason, or returned -- Cecropia 21:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kai81123 → Nextil

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. If you would like, you may usurp the user name, as it has no edits. Or you can pick a different user name. Also, images aren't allowed in signatures. ~ Wikihermit 00:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- should be at WP:CHU/U or else choose a different user name -- Cecropia 06:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non homosexuals only → Saber Force

Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by David Pro (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Policy does not allow forced renames - the account is blocked anyway. WjBscribe 01:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- request apparently not from user -- Cecropia 03:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by David Pro (talk · contribs).

[edit] Kaizersoze → Keyser Söze

N Not done -- should be at [[WP:CHU/U}} -- Cecropia 23:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TheSultan → GreenRower

  • Current name: TheSultan (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: GreenRower (rename user)
  • Reason: I joined Wikipedia because I felt that one entry was unfair and I wanted to try to modify it. I didn't realize when joining that I couldn't leave, but have been disappointed with this community and the way entries work and would like to "close my account" to the best of my ability. I feel this is one step I have to take. Thanks.Thesultan 09:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)TheSultan
Clerk note: TheSultan (talk · contribs) has made no edits. ~ Wikihermit 19:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- Since this user has made edits whatever and the user doesn't want to continue, I see no point in using up another username for a dead account. -- Cecropia 03:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plundstedt001 → Lsp100

Clerk note:This account has made less then 10 edits, with all of them appearing to be vandalism (page creation). ~ Wikihermit 04:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done. This account has only one edit still on the contribs list, and it is exactly to make this request. Redux 23:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sarah Goldberg → A. Shakespeare

Clerk note: If you're a completely new user, I think creating a new account might be a better idea than "inheriting" your brother's contributions (which could cause confusion)... WjBscribe 23:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
And which is also a bad idea per the GFDL, and perhaps even a violation of policy. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 23:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- please register a new account -- Cecropia 20:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lexicana4277 → Unicornamy

Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 66.174.93.98 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Qst 16:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Note: -- Holding off on this to give requester time to respond -- Cecropia 19:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- Andre (talk) 20:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joshiskickass → The_josh17

Clerk note: The user likely created an account under the requested username and requested a change using that name. Usurpations can't be done, so the best way to go is probably go with your requested username and abandon the old one. Sr13 07:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I do want to abandon the old user name, because right now my IP address is still blocked and I can't do any editing with my new user name

No, what I mean is that you can't transfer your contributions and other information attributed to you to your requested account because it has already been edited by you. As for the IP block, you may have been autoblocked. In that case, follow the instructions at Template:Autoblock. Sr13 09:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment. I'm not sure there's anything wrong with "Joshiskickass" as a username - kickass in this context clearly means something like "really cool". A more serious name might be preferable but I don't think the old one violated policy. Let us know what you want us to do about this request - in my opinion the old name is OK (you can ask at WP:RFCN if you want a discussion about it) so its up to you which account you edit with. There shouldn't be any block on your IP (I can't find any autoblocks). WjBscribe 14:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCN is probably best to discuss the merits of your "kickass" username; depending on how people interpret policy people might take a different stance on whether your name is appropriate. Of course, if you just want to ditch the old account and use the new one, that's fine with me. Sr13 20:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- since new username was already created and has edits. If you want old name to go bye-bye, suggest a different name to change it to -- Cecropia 03:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TinBug → MyTinbugger

Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 68.60.48.172 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. WjBscribe 14:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done per WjBscribe -- Andre (talk) 20:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seektruth247 → SeekTruth247

  • Current name: Seektruth247 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: SeekTruth247 (rename user)
  • Reason: Since it seems you cannot drop the capitalization on the "S", because I normally do not treat this name as a proper name, then I would like to have the "t" in truth set to uppercase to match my other existing instances of this username that use the uppercase standard. Thank you. Seektruth247 14:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. Nishkid64 (talk) 15:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
      • It also looks like you made the requested account just minutes after you created Seektruth247. If you still remember the password or have provided an e-mail for which the password can be sent to, then you can access the other account. Nishkid64 (talk) 15:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- Andre (talk) 20:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fablehaven rocks → woody38

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.. Please use the template. FPT 18:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: Please note that the first letter of a Wikipedia username will always be capitalized. Therefore, your username would be changed to "Woody", not "woody". Nishkid64 (talk) 18:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 70.176.124.218 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Nishkid64 (talk) 18:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: Just to note, the user (and his IP) were involved in a sockpuppetry case. Ck lostsword (talk · contribs) concluded that they might not be sockpuppets, but possibly meatpuppets. Nishkid64 (talk) 18:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Romel.raihan → Romel Raihan

  • Current name: Romel.raihan (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Romel Raihan (rename user)
  • Reason: I want my surname to start with the capital letter too. Romel.raihan 18:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Clerk note: This account's only edit was to make this request at WP:CHU. Nishkid64 (talk) 18:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
      • N Not done. Please simply register a new account under that name. --Deskana (talk) 00:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done per WJBscribe. --Deskana (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battousai → Superppl

  • Current name: Battousai (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Superppl (rename user)
  • Reason: I don't go by that nick anymore, and I think someone else might want it very badly. Battousai 12:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done, as your only edit was to create this request to change your username. Please simply create a new account under that name. --Deskana (talk) 17:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shaishu → Nosciturasociisatlex

N Not done. This username is likely a violation of the username policy as it is particularly difficult to remember. If you choose another username, we can rename to that. --Deskana (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WindsorFan → Brad

Clerk note: This username is already registered, but can be usurped. Please follow the instructions at the linked page to request usurpation. (→vishwin60 - soon will be User:O (possibly)) 19:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done. Vishwin is correct. --Deskana (talk) 20:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spagus → Alfgkg

N Not done. Your new username not allowed by the username policy, as it consists of a set of seemingly random characters. Please choose another username. --Deskana (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
User has clarified below. Andre (talk) 20:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St.isaac → Isaac

N Not done, account already exists and has one edit. Please choose another name. Andre (talk) 01:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WOPR → Computer

N Not done as the target account already exists. I also advise you choose a better name... "Computer" doesn't necessarily sound botlike either. --Deskana (talk) 14:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
The account has no edits. It is legit to make such a rename. "Computer" sounds more botlike than anything. -- Cat chi? 15:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I forgot to mention such username changes are allowed but must be listed on WP:USURP instead of here. --Deskana (talk) 16:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Ah OK. I didn't know. -- Cat chi? 16:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smallbizprophet → SmallBusinessProphet

N Not done. Your only edit was to create User:Smallbizprophet. If you want a new account name, please simply register a new account. Changing usernames is normally reserved for accounts that have made contributions. --Deskana (talk) 00:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Beside which, he can just register that account. This is an extra unnecessary step. Andre (talk) 00:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Www-data → Martin_joerg

Clerk note: User:Martin joerg is already registered (created in February 2006) with no edits. Suggest usurpation. Sr13 22:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- propose different name or list at WP:CHU/U -- Cecropia 03:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ast777 → AST LTD.

Clerk note: Judging by your userpage, your requested name is an abbreviation for Automated Systems Technology Ltd. - our policy on usernames does not allow promotional usernames. WjBscribe 23:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: Userpage deleted as advertising/non-notability. Nishkid64 (talk) 00:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- you may refile for a different name that follows policy. -- Cecropia 03:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Padraig3uk → Padraig

N Not done, because it still isn't. It may, however, be usurped, so please file a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Andre (talk) 08:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
There are no contributions shown [1] for this username or existing user page.--padraig3uk 08:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
That's exactly why you can usurp the account. Someone registered the account (you can see it exists here), but never made any contributions with it. Such requests are handled at WP:CHU/U. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 08:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NORTHLONDON → JASONSNUGGS

  • Current name: NORTHLONDON (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: JASONSNUGGS (rename user)
  • Reason: Reason for requested renaming. NORTHLONDON 10:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)I have decided using my name, would be more professional.
How is this more profesional, all of your edits have been to your user talk page, why not just create the new account. Rlest 10:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done. Changing usernames is reserved for people with contributions to the encyclopedia. If you want a new username, please simply register a new account with that name. --Deskana (talk) 13:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sesquapedalian → Sesquipedalian

Sesquapedalian 17:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: There is already a registered account under the requested name. No edits, so usurpable. Sr13 17:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done, try usurpation. Andre (talk) 19:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TheDevilsRequiem → Times Final Rose

Bureaucrat note: I'm not quite sure what you mean. Perhaps you can explain your reason a bit more. What does your new username have to do with finding necessary information? --Deskana (talk) 15:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
From User:TheDevilsRequiem, it seems to be promotional in nature, I think this request should be denied. Andre (talk) 20:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

How can it be promotional? Everything here is promotional. Everyone that contributes is promoting their own knowledge basis. When I signed up using TheDevilsRequiem, I wanted to see inside wikipedia and then kicked myself because it was too late to change my username. If I do a search for Rennes le Chateau then all the necessary info comes up about that including personal website. Look you'll decide what your going to decide anyway so I'll leave it with you as it doesn't like I have achoice in the matter, but disappointed about the promotional idea. Freedom of information is a necessity not a promotion. Shirley59.92.121.89 12:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Times_Final_Rose 12:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

N Not done, promotional username. Andre (talk) 01:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Globalbeings → Apachenet

N Not done. The rename process is typically reserved for people who have contributions to the encyclopedia. If you wish to have a new name, please simply create a new account with that name. --Deskana (talk) 16:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Flubber5 → SBW

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. WjBscribe 22:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: It is not possible for this username to be usurped either, since it made an edit that is attributable to the GNU FDL. (→vishwin60 - is User:O in 1 day (possibly)) 23:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, that would be why I did not suggest usurpation... WjBscribe 23:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done per the above. --Deskana (talk) 10:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh well thanks anyway :) ! Flubber5 13:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asylum band → Asylum Gothic Band

Clerk note: Request was made by user to be renamed [2]. WjBscribe 10:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Your only edit excluding this was to advertise your band on your userpage which I have removed as its in violation of WP:USERPAGE and Wikipedia is not a Myspace. Rlest 10:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done. Changing usernames is usually reserved for people with contributions to the encyclopedia. If you wish to have a new username, please simply create a new account. --Deskana (talk) 14:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tobi is a good boy → Tobi4242

Bureaucrat note: Formatted request. --Deskana (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done given near total lack of contributions to the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a site to play with a page about yourself. If you contribute more to articles, I would be wiling to rename you, per your request. --Deskana (talk) 15:35, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vanemden → Maarten van Emden

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. The account can not be usurped either. Rlest 15:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done per Rlest -- Andre (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CURRENT: Mondomedeusah-creative → NEW: Mondomedeusah-Creative-Inc

N Not done. Promotional username violates username policy. You probably need to change your name anyway, so please file another request. (I'll leave a note on your talk page later.) Andre (talk) 23:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Davidsiecker → Davsseeker

  • Current name: Davidsiecker (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Davsseeker (rename user)
  • Reason: We are using the old user name in business promotions and need to be in compliance with Wikipedia username policy.
N Not done, request not formatted correctly, plus you are not editing from the name you wish to have renamed. Andre (talk) 08:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Formatted request. --Deskana (talk) 19:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tones benefit → K

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. --Boricuaeddie hábleme 19:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

However this user made one acceptable edit five years ago so a bureaucrat may be willing to perform this rename at WP:CHU/U. — Rlest 19:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
N Not done. Absolutely not. The edit was not reverted immidiately so performing the rename would almost certainly violate GFDL, and I would rather not take the risk. Renames of accounts with edits don't become more acceptable as time from the last edit goes on. --Deskana (talk) 19:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Donovanbronte → DonBron

N Not done, just register the new name. You have no edits except to this page. Andre (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JWJW → Kerotan

  • Current name: JWJW (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Kerotan (rename user)
  • Reason: Kerotan is just about my name everywhere else on the internet, along with other wiki projects and other wikis altogether, the name change makes me less confusing for me a eliminates the problem of having tell people that i am JWJW on the english wikipedia and this is a nice synergy. also my former userpage at user:JWJW received alot of vandalism from members of my school, and i don't especially want them to have the ablity to be redirected to my current user page User:Kerotan, as i recently changed the name of my user page to User:kerotan and redirected my sig to user:kerotan, and this name change would complete the action which has been rather shoddly acheived.--Kerotan Talk Long Live Esperanza! :) 09:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

the account Kerotan doesn't exist yet,(error i didn't know that it existed) i just basically in real terms moved the contents of user:JWJW to user:Kerotan and then redirected my sig to user:Kerotan, and changed my name from JWJW to Kerotan, in an attempt to get away from the vandals on my user page.--Kerotan Talk Long Live Esperanza! :) 09:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
