Changing username/Simple

Shortcuts

This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.

Instructions

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Click here to place your request.
- Add your desired username after NEW=
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=
- Do not change anything after CURRENT=
Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.

Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Important Notes After you are renamed...

Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.

... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

For global renamer: rename user Reason for requested renaming. 202.43.162.35 (talk) 05:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: All requests are to be filed by the account wanting renaming; this request was filed by 202.43.162.35 (talk · contribs). Please log in and confirm this request. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seancb89 → SEANBCOOL

Current name: Seancb89 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: SEANBCOOL (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
AntiSpoof: antispoof check
For global renamer: rename user
Reason: I tried to create a new account with the name seanbcool. The system automatically capitalized the first letter of my name, which I didn't want. I then tried to create yet another account with the same name but in all capitals (SEANBCOOL). I received a message telling me this name was too similar to "Seanbcool", and only then did I realize that Wikipedia allows users to request a name change. Aside from the change, I also give my permission for Seanbcool to be deleted. There is no activity on the account and no reason for it to exist, and I don't know how to delete accounts.

Note: Seancb89 may or may not be registered to another e-mail address, other than the one Seanbcool is registered to. If it is, it is nonsequiter@hotmail.com rather than seancb89@hotmail.com. If any further verification is required, please let me know. 64.178.245.224 (talk) 04:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gwryla

a random request...

[for deletion]

I created the account Gwrila in the Bulgarian wikipedia accidentally at 19:20 on 21 May 2008 and only just noticed (i meant to spell it Gwryla, as my English account is). I then created the bg:Gwryla account also, and please want to ask if you can delete the bg:Gwrila one.

(i have written a deletion request on its talk page, here - and the other account confirms this also: here. The only contributions made by both those accounts are to the actual userpages and talkpages - i don't mind you merging the two accounts' histories into the contribution history for Gwryla - i've left a note on both saying so.)

it simply feels a bit weird knowing there's an account floating out there in cyberspace that'll never be used because it's spelt wrong...and someone else might want to use it in future, anyway. The Gwryla's moral like that, you see [:-)

(there's no 'changе-your-username' option in the Bulgarian wikipedia, we just get transferred to here, as you can see for yourselves).

So, in a word: please delete the bg:Gwrila account, and leave me the other two, spelt "Gwryla".

Thank you. [:-) Gwryla (talk) 10:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note:: Accounts cannot be 'deleted' as such, simply renamed, and there is no real harm in simply letting it sit unused as people can simply usurp the account if they want it as it has no edits. No-one is going to mind it existing, as no-one will really know. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 15:48, May 22, 2008 (UTC)
