Please explain what you mean by this? Andre (talk) 03:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

WIKISCRIPPS 07 → WIKISCRIPPS 08 WIKIVUE Detroit

We certainly aren't going to change your username every year. If you wish, I can rename you to something without an "07" or "08," so it won't become out of date. Andre (talk) 00:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How does WIKIVUE Detroit sound??? It is themed the TV Guide Network when it was known as "Prevue Guide" in 1992. --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SAT AUG 18 2007 2:18 PM EDT

 Done. Sometimes the rename page times out which you click Submit. Nearly 100% it still does the rename anyway, but sometimes it doesn't. That's probably what happened. --Deskana (banana) 21:42, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for changing the name, and thanks for explaining what likely happened. I'm still wondering, why is it that only a few edits from around December 2005 were transferred to my new account, while the rest (September though November 2005 and January 2006 through now), is still attributed to the SoothingR-account? —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 05:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bizarre. It didn't time out at my end.. I hope it didn't split your contributions as we can't merge accounts :( Secretlondon 08:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like all your contributions are at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Amberrock Amberrock now. This still feels bugged though Secretlondon 08:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes it can take a while for all the contribs to transfer, and sometimes it seems to only transfer half, then get stuck for a bit. So far it's always transferred them all, for me. --Deskana (banana) 09:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarification. Anyway, I declare this case closed now as everything seems to be fine now. Muchios gracios.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 10:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

X360 → Hayden120

  • Current name: X360 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Hayden120 (rename user)
  • Reason: I feel my current name is too vague and makes me look like a robot. I'd rather people know me as a person, not a letter and three numbers. If my name is changed, will all my edits I have made in the past be renamed too? Could you please inform me first if my contributions will not be moved to my new account; if they are don't worry about notifying me if and when you change my name. Thanks.

L'oeuf → L'œuf

 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Also, are you User:L'œuf on the French wikipedia? WjBscribe 22:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I am. L'oeuf 23:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: We allow people to have completely non latin usernames though. Secretlondon 15:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious, what is the origin of the username? Right now it resembles a swear word too much, for me. --Deskana (banana) 00:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point. The first letter comes from my first name, and kingtell is my new screen name. I would settle for Kingtell, or Wkingtell, would those work? Sivarticus 15:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, either one of those is fine. Which one do you prefer? Andre (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
