[edit] Moment Theory→ Cmoney

• Current name: Moment Theory (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Cmoney (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: i want to write an article about the band moment theory and not violate any policies. Moment Theory

N Not done The name Cmoney (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 12:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Askinne → Askinn3

• Current name: Askinne (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Askinn3 (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: I made a mistake in typing my desired username. Askinne (talk) 14:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

N Not done - you seem to have gone ahead and created the new name anyway. WjBscribe 15:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AshleyWitchcrafter → JanetAshleyCP

• Current name: AshleyWitchcrafter (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: JanetAshleyCP (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: Reason for requested renaming. This is not so much that I wish to change my user name - it is more a request for advice:

- whether to change the username - or to add another account with a new username? I, originally, chose Ashley Witchcrafter because I wanted to create, edit, and/or add to articles to do with "metaphysical" properties of crystals, herbs, numbers, etc plus articles to do with witchcraft and Wicca. I do, officially, go by that name - and I have a website under that name. I don't consider it a commercial name - however, after re-reading your username policy, perhaps, I'm wrong. My website URL is: http://www.psican.org/Ashley/ashley.html Currently, I'm researching paleo events, which includes paleo extinction events. The North Atlantic Igneous Province is an article that does not exist. I would like to create the article. I feel that if I create an article that is not directly related to witchcraft or Wicca, then the AshleyWitchcrafter username may be considered inappropriate or open to ridicule, etc. Thank you. AshleyWitchcrafter (talk) 15:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

As long as you don't promote a product or service with your username, it should be fine either way. What do you want us to do? AshleyWitchrafter is a perfectly fine username, but keep in mind Wikipedia's policies regarding attribution and sources when contributing and I don't see a problem with your plans. Andre (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat note: Ashley, feel free to edit any article under AshleyWitchcrafter. The username AshleyWitchcrafter does not violate any policy. All editors can edit any articles. Keep in mind that no editor has authority over a topic or an article. All articles here are edited through consensus. Kingturtle (talk) 12:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Andre and Kingturtle - I'll remain the same. AshleyWitchcrafter (talk) AshleyWitchcrafter (talk) 18:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

N Not done - withdrawn by user. Kingturtle (talk) 23:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Freedomlinux → /dev/null

• Current name: Freedomlinux (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: /dev/null (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: The use of freedomlinux has become problematic as it also represents me in many other communities. This leads to an unwarranted association between my presence there and my Wikipedia association. A change of name allows me to remake myself as an anonymous editor while still preserving my association with Unix-like operating systems and computer science. Please inform me if this request is impossible due to policy violations or technical limitations. While I cannot find a restriction on usernames containing the / character, there may be issues because "/dev/null" would be the same as the "null" subpage of the (nonexistant) user "/dev" . Freedomlinux (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

N Not done - The username "/dev/null" is invalid. / is not allowed. Kingturtle (talk) 12:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for checking. I had a feeling the "/" would be problematic due to its use in the HTTP protocol. Freedomlinux (talk) 23:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No one → Morte

• Current name: No one (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Morte (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)

• 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. Rudget (Help?) 15:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I have requested usurpation of Morte username. Will wait for results. Thanks! No one (talk) 16:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

N Not done - user name taken. Please note, although Rudget states "as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped", User:Morte does have some edits. So usurpation won't be automatic, but still may be possible. Kingturtle (talk) 23:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deathaspect → Synchronization

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

• Current name: Monkeyfood1 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Superman007 (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)

• Current name: Simon J Kissane (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: SJK (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: Simon J Kissane is the old account I used to use back in 2001. Since then I have always used SJK. I would like to merge the edit histories. Not even sure if I remember the Simon J Kissane password anymore, but I promise and swear it was me. --SJK (talk) 06:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jamessweney → Jim Sweeney

• Current name: Jamessweney (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Jim Sweeney (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)
• Reason: I am known by Jim Sweeney the user Jamessweney was a typo and I have been using Jim Sweeney as a signature having changed it on the my preferences page Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers.

• SoxBot VI has analyzed this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 22:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: Sorry, but the first character of a username must be capitalized. Useight (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

N Not done - Wikipedia's software requires all usernames to begin with an uppercase letter. WjBscribe 00:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

• Current name: User:Kenbroart (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Kenbroart (SUL conflicts?) (rename user)

Bureaucrat note: - Cannot rename user Wikieditor222 locally as this username has been migrated to the unified login system. Kingturtle (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

You will need to ask a steward to delete your global account before you can be renamed locally. Requests can be made at m:SR/SUL. WjBscribe 10:02, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

• SoxBot VI has analyzed this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 11:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

This will be your third rename I believe? Is this to be your permanent name? I'm not that happy about users (particularly admins) hopping from name to name as it makes it hard to keep track of things. WjBscribe 11:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

There will be nothing to track under the first two names (Radio orange and Onnaghar) since I barely edited under them. I do believe this would be final rename. Hopefully that promise can allay any concerns you may have. Rudget (Help?) 11:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If you don't wish to proceed with a rename, that will be okay. Especially in consideration of your concerns. Regards, Rudget (Help?) 14:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not sure. Another thing on my mind is that you said at the end of January that you wouldn't be getting renamed in the foreseeable future during this discusison, then again that was 4 months ago. Perhaps another bureaucrat (who is feeling more decisive) could take a look at this request? WjBscribe 14:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Rudget, you don't seem bothered either way so probably best to stick rather than twist? The Rambling Man (talk) 15:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You're probably right, the only sticking point now is I look indecisive, for want of a better word. Thanks for both your input. Rudget (Help?) 15:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
