* Reason: While I think it's good to have a ''personal'' username, it shouldn't be too ''private'' and I have changed my mind about my current account name for that reason. My account has already been renamed once, on April 12 (although it doesn't show up in [[Wikipedia:Changing_username/Archive23#Deathrocker_.E2.86.92_Daddy_Kindsoul|archive 23]]). I have given it some thought, and I really like "Dorftrottel", which is German for "village idiot". It's not at all private, but distinctive enough. However, should that name not appear like a good idea, it's not a big deal. I would also take "User:+1", or "User:Eason" (because of "use reason"; but I'm afraid that it could be seen as inflammatory by a few and so I didn't request that name). Or if all else fails, "User:Ollback" (not really, of course). —&nbsp;'''[[User talk:AldeBaer|a<!-- -->ldebaer]]⁠''' 03:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Wack'd About Wiki → Wack'd

[edit]
  1. "Wack'd About Wiki" sounds more like a slogan or a company name than an online nickname.
  2. I insist on other users just calling me "Wack'd", but everyone calls me "Wack'd About Wiki" anyway. It's kind of annoying.

Dxmember619 → FriendlyUser123

[edit]

The reason I wish to change my user name is that without my knowledge, others discovered my user name and abused/created posts in an attempt to discredit/incriminate me.

  • Comment How would renaming solve the problem? If other users have discovered your password then it's a trivial matter to change it. On the other hand, if you want to disown the contributions record (and I wouldn't blame you, looking at it), then simply register a new account and request deletion of this one. Sheffield Steeltalkstalk 19:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Passwords had nothing to do with this. Renaming solves this particular problem because it changes the username without loss of contribution history. Deletion of accounts does not happen on Wikimedia, and in fact this kind of renaming has actually happened to another user before. If this account does get renamed, it is also suggested that you request deletion of your old user and talk pages so that it looks like you've invoked your right to vanish. —O () 19:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: You don't seem to have any contributions worth keeping - your old userpage (started by you) was an attack page which you moved into the mainspace as Bumnose. Your other contributions are childish nonsense eg your edits to Estelle and hockey. If you didn't write these then someone has your password and renaming will make no difference. Secretlondon 00:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nonetheless,  Done, because this user may be wishing to disassociate his name from this contribution history under right to vanish. Andre (talk) 21:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: Kissl (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: KissL (rename user)
  • Reason: Correct capitalisation of my username (I have been signing KissL for practically all the time I've been around). The account "KissL" was registered by me as a doppelganger account at a time when renames were not possible, so it will need to be renamed first (see next section, to be added in a few minutes). Obviously, I would like to re-register "Kissl" as a doppelganger right after the rename. The best would be to just exchange the two usernames if that is technically possible. Thanks, KissL 13:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cynrin → A Softer Answer

[edit]
A change in user name will only stop the harrassment if my old user page and user talk page would NOT link to the new user page. If there is a link, the vandal could just memorize my new user name and continue the non-stop harrassment. If there is no way to change my user name without linking my old user page to my new, then there is no reason to change names and I will just abandon the user name 'Cynrin'. Cynrin 19:46, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is a way. Just request that the redirects to your new name be deleted. The administrators will be happy to oblige. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 23:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Please put a note on your userpage indicating the rename. Since the person vandalising the page will never reach that page since you say they can't figure it out, there's no security problem from doing so. --Deskana (talk) 00:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: I'm rather reluctant to rename people to numbers given how easily they could be confused with other users editing using similar numbers. --Deskana (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The probability of that happening should be rather low, considering that the username is displayed as a hyperlink everywhere, and would thereby link only to one page. Pills4(talk) 29 September 2007 (UTC)
You seem to be missing the point of what I'm saying. For example, were someone to register another similar name such as 41 (talk · contribs), you could be very easily confused. I'd rather you chose a different name. --Deskana (talk) 00:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AldeBaer → Dorftrottel

[edit]
  • Current name: AldeBaer (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Dorftrottel (rename user)
  • Reason: While I think it's good to have a personal username, it shouldn't be too private and I have changed my mind about my current account name for that reason. My account has already been renamed once, on April 12 (although it doesn't show up in archive 23). I have given it some thought, and I really like "Dorftrottel", which is German for "village idiot". It's not at all private, but distinctive enough. However, should that name not appear like a good idea, it's not a big deal. I would also take "User:+1", or "User:Eason" (because of "use reason"; but I'm afraid that it could be seen as inflammatory by a few and so I didn't request that name). Or if all else fails, "User:Ollback" (not really, of course). — aldebaer 03:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
