  • Current name: Inkymole (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Inkymole (rename user)
  • Reason: Just need to change this I find it difficult to remember the capital I, since I use a lower case 'i' for everything else, and I am always caught out when trying to log in 82.31.211.198 23:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pclifton01 → Sirwiki01

Clerk note: Sirwiki01 has made edits today. I presume it is Pclifton01. You can't merge accounts, though. My advice will be to discontinue using the first account and continue with sirwiki and abandon this request.

[edit] MITB LS → Detox

  • Current name: MITB LS (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

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. WjBscribe 07:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jenpeng → Penjenbo

Bureaucrat note: You were asked to change your name as your name (and edits) seem to imply that you are editing on behalf of Penguin Books. You are not allowed to edit on behalf of your employer due to our conflict of interest policy. I don't think that changing your name to something still with "pen" in alters that fact, or is much better than your current name. Secretlondon 17:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rajesh.baronia → Rajesh.baronia

Clerk note: this username was already created (see Rajesh.baronia). Was it by you?--Phoenix 15 14:26, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

It's the same username. The previous and the new one is the same. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 14:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Note: I think the user was trying to request being renamed to "rajesh.baronia" - unfortunately the software requires all Wikipedia usernames to start with an uppercase letter... WjBscribe 19:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- circular request -- Cecropia 03:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SherbrookeProspect → Sherbrooke

Note. Should be fine but if your request is to usurp an existing account, you need to make it at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations (following the process on that page) not here. WjBscribe 19:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
N Not done - Please request usurpation, as above -- Cecropia 03:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sa1ntJimbo → Sa1ntJ1mbo

Bureaucrat note: You might find some people consider your name to be a comment on Jimbo Wales. It's perfectly possible someone will block you for your name. Secretlondon 22:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
N Not done -- agree username will likely cause more trouble than it is worth. Think of another, please. -- Cecropia 05:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Www.brocktv.ca → Rebecca.mktg

1) Provide a reason. 2) The new username seems to be promotional (".mktg" is short for "marketing", IINM), making it as bad as the current. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 04:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- no response > week -- Cecropia 05:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lustpuppet → Lustpuppetry

Are you sure it's already in use? The name (and the one you want to be renamed to) looks sexual in nature, and such usernames aren't allowed. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 19:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: It's not in use (as you wouldn't have been able to make it) but someone has left you a comment on your username without a)signing it and b)telling you what was wrong with it. I think your name is borderline but people generally don't like sexual usernames. You can ask on requests for comments usernames or I can rename you to something complying with the Username policy.

[edit] Lartesa → •Capiccuas•

  • Current name: Lartesa (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: •Capiccuas• (rename user)

Clerk note: Please remove the bullets from the requested name. jonathan (talk — contribs) 22:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we have policy against bullets? Secretlondon 22:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Unsure myself, but they're very confusing. I strongly suggest against doing the rename in its present form. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 22:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Look at the listusers. It makes the search box enter the code for the bullets, not a •. Maybe it has something to do with Firefox? jonathan (talk — contribs) 23:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
No, IE7 does the same. I checked. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 04:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

N Not done -- bullets make it difficult to type the name, create an unpronounceable name, and can impact some browsers. Please choose a username w/o them if you wish a change. -- Cecropia 05:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MartinDK → Dkguy

Clerk note: I suggest you change it to something less obvious, literally to things like RenamedUserxyz. As well, EconomicsGuy scrambled the password to the account, so he can't prove it by making an edit; however, he has said on the same thread on AN/I that he doesn't rule out having a checkuser done on him. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 20:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Bureaucrat note: Actually both this request and the thread on AN/I link the two accounts together as far as google is concerned. I'll rename to a random name, rather than something clearly linked. Secretlondon 22:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I do not object to a checkuser. As for the name I chose I admit it wasn't very good. A random name would be much better. Again, thanks to both of you for helping me out here. EconomicsGuy Return the fire! 16:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster → Fsm2007

Wouldn't any name involving the Flying spaghetti monster fall under the fifth type of disallowed username per WP:U? -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 20:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
"Fsm" isn't blatantly related to anything, you only recognise it as a reference to the flying spaghetti monster because of the extra context here. Certainly as nothing but initials, I'm not sure how it could be considered offensive as you suggest. SamBC(talk) 21:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I am reading too much into it, then... my apologies. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 21:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Question: has anyone actually presented any evidence for this, or did they just stick the tag on the userpage and leave it at that? SamBC(talk) 19:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I left a query at the tagger's talk page asking for evidence and notes here.Rlevse 21:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

After the ip was blocked by checkuser, Thegoldenageoftheflyingspaghettimonster starts making the same edits [3], [4], [5], [6]. To make matters worse the sources he used do not validate the claims that he is trying to state.

  • Current name: Relunctant_editor (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Reluctant_Editor (rename user)
  • Reason: This is fairly embarrassing. When I originally entered my user name request, I had to do it a number of times, and on the time that counted, I was a ninny and didn't carefully check my typing. Now I cannot change the spelling because the correct spelling is too close to the name I already have. Would you be willing to change the spelling for me, please? Thank you in advance for whatever you can do. I promise to put my account to good use:) Relunctant editor 01:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

That quoted passage actually says to use latin signatures and userpage redirects - it emphatically does not prohibit the usernames themselves. Users are allowed to create accounts with nonlatin usernames, and such are pretty universally rejected (ie, not blocked) at WP:UAA. It seems strange to be stricter about username changes than we are about newly-created names. SamBC(talk) 19:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I really do hope this is reconsidered as you are hereby denying a username change that is clearly within policy. This maybe the english wikipedia, but we have the username policy for a reason, even the crats should follow that. Ryan Postlethwaite 19:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe the single letter cabal had an user whose user name was just one chinese character. Where can I find more information about the unified login? A.Z. 02:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

The editor is free to create an account with his Hebrew username, which he can then redirect to his latin-character username, or vice versa, as I already suggested. But know that it is disrespectful to the community to use a name that is meaningless to most. Other editors are entitled to know who they are dealing with, and a spate of non-Latin usernames simply creates a new class of anon, as it is difficult for others to separate any one such user from another. Though he can create a non-Latin username himself, I don't feel that I ought to facilitate this by a rename. If another bureaucrat (hopefully, an active one) does the change, so be it, but I think it is the wrong thing to do. -- Cecropia 14:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joestella → Single16+Sections

  • Current name: Joestella (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Single16+Sections (rename user)
  • Reason: Renaming has already taken place as part of the right to vanish, however a number of true and false accusations of sockpuppetry retain reference to the old username, and on one occasion the old userpage was recreated, apparently maliciously, by an admin known to the user in real life. Request changing the sockpuppet accusation/findings pages to reflect change to username, and protecting them so they can't be changed back.

We will be happy to stay with the user name we have, I'm not sure about the point "policy doesn't accept promotional user identities" - that would mean no names of groups and badns in music are allowed?, Atlanta is a Liverpool pop music group name like any other listed on Wikipedia and they are a Boy Band, which is just informing the reader what the group are? - we can't just use ATLANTA as it would clash and be duplicated with the City in the USA can you please advise? Many Thanks Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 16:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band (talk • contribs)

More information is at WP:IU. The reason that your name can't be accepted is because it appears to be promoting your band. Also, Wikipedia is not a webhost, so while it is great that you are making a web page for your band here, the main goal of Wikipedia is to write an encyclopedia, and so therefore it is against what we stand for here to provide you with a free space for your band. Also, it is stated in the GFDL (GNU free documentation license), Wikipedia's copyright license, that user accounts can only be used by one person, and not by multiple people or a group such as a band. Hope that's a bit more clear, and happy editing :) ( arky ) 21:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 05:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)JBS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band (talk • contribs)

I would point out that at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atlanta Boy Band I suggested that the article Atlanta Boy Band, if it survives the deletion nomination, be moved to Atlanta (boy band).

[edit] Warholio → The Desert Fox

  • Current name: Warholio (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: The Desert Fox (rename user)
  • Reason: Warholio relates too close to my last name. I would rather like to have it to where it is more inconspicuous. If possible please change it to match my request. If this name is already taken, please change it to just Desert Fox. Thanks! Warholio 23:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: This account is already taken, but doesn't have any edits. You have two options: usurp it, or change it to Desert Fox, as you requested. O2 (息 • 吹) 00:15, 30 October 2007 (GMT)

[edit] Senpaiottolo → Senpai

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list. Qst 13:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
The user name have not userpage and discussions user page, have also 1 edit, may be 1 year and half ago.--Senpaiottolo 14:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Hence forth, it is not eligible for changing username, and unlikely for usurpation, I'll just check what the edit was, you maybe allowed usurpation of Senpai, if the edit was vandalism and instantly reverted, I'll check the edit now. Qst 15:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Nope, the edit was legitamite made by Senpai, so usurpation would be in violation of the GNU Free Documentation Licence, which is the foundation of Wikipedia's content. Sorry, Qst 15:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I know very weel the term on GFDL.... but it's time to think to an automatic decay of user name not used... i understand that this is anoter aspect of the problem, but, i think this is the right place to represent it.--Senpaiottolo 18:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
N Not done The GFDL means that we cannot usurp accounts that have edits. Secretlondon 22:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Errol F. frith → Errol F. Frith

Clerk note: You only edits are to this page and to your userpage, why not create the new account via Special:Userlogin. Cheers, Qst 16:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: They can't make the new account if it is too close to an existing username. Secretlondon 23:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
I noticed an IP (probably the same editor) was denied the requested name at Wikipedia:Request an account#Errol F. Frith because the names were too similar. PrimeHunter 21:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Since the only contributions by this account are attempts to change their name, I have accepted their request on WP:ACC so this request no longer applies. Tra (Talk) 22:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
N Not done as above. Secretlondon 23:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
