By looking at my userpage history, it is clear that vandailsm has occured on several occasions. Being that most who know me personally know my username "tingalex", I would like to change it, hopefully eliminating the vandalism. I do not want wikipedians to have bias views of me because of idiotic comments on my userpage and discussion page. In addition, there have been several wikipedia accounts created for the sole purpose of vandalizing my dumb userpage. Thanks! Tingalex 13:53, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for changing the name, and thanks for explaining what likely happened.

 Not done. œ is actually quite a hard character to type, and this could potentially make it harder for users to contact you. --Deskana (banana) 00:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I *AM* french, and it is *actually* difficult for users to contact me due to the misspelling of the word "œuf" ("egg") !L'oeuf 01:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I can't see how it's difficult now. At present, I can type your username. It wouldn't be possible for me to type it were I to perform this rename. --Deskana (banana) 10:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, don't think I'm being aggressive here, but maybe you can't see how difficult it is right now because you're not open-minded enough and too focused on your mother tongue AND non-canadian english keyboard layout. It is common sense that any french speaker to whom I would tell my username is "L'oeuf" will write it according to the french orthograph, that is to say "L'œuf", which is far easier to type on a non british nor american keyboard layout, for instance the french, the canadian, or the swiss ones! Nevertheless, it *is* probably also simple on your personal layout: On most linux distros you just have to alt gr + o or such… L'oeuf 22:31, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

As a possible compromise, I doubt there'd be any objection to you redirecting the pages User:L'œuf and User talk:L'œuf to your userspace, which would make sure people would find you whichever way they typed your username. WjBscribe 22:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, are you User:L'œuf on the French wikipedia? WjBscribe 22:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, I am. L'oeuf 23:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I would be happy for you to register User:L'œuf and redirect the user page and user talk page to your account. However, I am not happy renaming you to this name, as I feel it does not help your reachability. I was also quite happy to discuss this matter... but I feel you're ranting at me somewhat. I respect people of other races... but please remember this is the Wikipedia for the English Language. I would imagine most users would have a hard time typing œ. Indeed, I have to paste it in order to get it. --Deskana (banana) 00:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Current name: Ted Frank (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
• Requested name: Renamed user 2 (rename user)
• Reason: A vandal created this fake account under my real name and vandalized the Ted Frank article. The User:Ted Frank account of this fake user is now indef-blocked. I am concerned that someone not entirely Wikipedia-savvy could look at the edit history and falsely think Ted Frank tried to edit the Ted Frank article and was indef-blocked for doing so; I am also concerned that "User:Ted Frank" may rank high in Google searches because of the Google-weight of Wikipedia entries. Could an admin rename the user so that the edits do not appear under my name? "Blocked troll" is just a suggestion: any placeholder that makes it clear that it was not me who vandalized the article is acceptable. Theodore Frank 00:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a bureaucrat, but the user must have made edits to be a blocked vandal, therefore, you cannot change to that name. Sorry! Jonathan (formerly Jonjonbt) 01:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Please reread the request. I'm not asking to usurp a name. I'm asking that an indef-blocked account's name be changed so that it no longer libels me. Theodore Frank 01:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not a crat here, but feel this request sensible. This kind of malicious attribution should be fixiable, if possible, and now, you can do it. --Aphaia 01:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

He's only made 3 contribs total, including one to my talk page, none in the mainspace, I wonder if that disqualifies him though? Hmmm... but that is malicious... maybe that requalifies him... Jonathan (formerly Jonjonbt) 01:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Who is "he"? I am the real Ted Frank. I am asking that a fake User:Ted Frank account be renamed so that it does not say its edits were made by "Ted Frank" when the real Ted Frank did not make the edits. Where is the problem? Can someone other than Jonathan look at this since Jonathan (1) doesn't understand the request after it's been explained to him three times and (2) isn't even a bureaucrat? Theodore Frank 01:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Note. I believe there's precedent for this, where former usernames of renamed admins have been taken by vandals - it seems a fairly unproblematic request. User:Ted Frank will need to be recreated after the rename to ensure it doesn't happen again however. WjBscribe 01:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. If someone emails me, I will happily create a legit sock for the unused account and let it lie dormant. I have "squatted" on other accounts relating to my name (such as User:Theodore Frank). Theodore Frank 01:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 Done by Raul654. I have recreated User:Ted Frank to avoid this happening again. The password for that account has been emailed to User:THF. WjBscribe 03:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

He's referring to this conversation where they objected to the 4uwingnuts part of his name. Editors at help desk said that this seemed to be calling other users "nuts." Saying that someone can't have a username with the phrase "Factcheck" in it seems like an overly strict interpretation of WP:U.
