Bamgbalat → Tunn paito
- Current name: Bamgbalat (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- AntiSpoof: antispoof check

- Datestamp: 14:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- Reason: Bamgbalat is my login and not my user name. Am not searched for as 'Bamgbalat' but mostly as 'Tunn paito' Tunn paito 14:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 14:50, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Clerk note:@Bamgbalat: Perhaps you're a bit confused? "Login" and "username" is essentially the same thing. Your current username is Bamgbalat. Your userpage takes on the same title as your username, except it has "User:" in front of it. An article name is not the same as a username (articles are a bit different from userpages). --k6ka (talk | contribs) 14:52, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

- Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 06:10, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: @Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama: An acronym is still promotional; however, if your requested name means "M at DSTY1", that is fine, but you will specifically need a name along the lines of "M at DSTY1" to avoid being blocked. Acalamari 08:31, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Comment: perhaps he could just have it on his user page that it means M 'at' DSTY? It seems obvious that he knows that @ can't be in the username. MM (I did the who in the whatnow?) (I did it!) 21:47, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I wasn't referring to the @/at sign at all. My concern is that some UAA reporters will still regard "MaDSTY1" as promotional enough to make a report, regardless of what a user page says (or whether or not they even read it); "M at DSTY1" or "MatDSTY1" are clear enough to prevent that from happening to this person.

- Clerk note: Are you a Wikia Star and VSTF? Cool! But sadly, I'm afraid the global account might get in the way. You can try "TheCallofduty4" or something totally unrelated, and link to it from your Wikia userpage. And also, if you don't plan on editing here regularly (Wikia and Wikipedia are quite different indeed), I don't think having the same username on both sites really matters. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 12:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hey K6ka, thanks for your reply! If it's not possible to rename to "Callofduty4" then would a rename to "CallofDuty4" be possible? Doesn't seem to be an existing global account under that name. --callofduty4 (talk) 13:50, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- CASIO F-91W you could try es:WP:USURP to get "Callofduty4", they would probably grant the request. CallofDuty4 is fine as well, let us know. –xenotalk 14:03, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
