General Eisenhower

Please change User:General Eisenhower to User:Cool Kid. General Eisenhower • (at war or at peace) 19:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User created a new account as User:Mr. Shame, no name change is needed apparently. Master of Puppets ^{FREE BIRD!} 21:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But he still wants to keep his old contribs, right? --GeorgeMoney ^T·C 05:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 02:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

10widdse

Please change 10widdse to SepticRanga, thanx heaps... 10widdse 02:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't belive that qualifies as an appropriate username under the unsername policy. Please choose an option less likely to offend others. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:I20

I'd like to change User:I20 to User:120 for the reasons explained here. It seems User:120 doesn't exist (I probably made a partial creation trying to register unsuccesfully). I know it doesn't make a big difference, but it's my user name on French wiki... Thanks, I20 12:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded at the Village Pump, but to summarize, the account is listed in the system, and that prevents us from being able to rename to that name (the software literally will not perform the request). At this time, we are not permitted to perform forced renames (that is, to rename an account in order to allow another user to usurp that username); the best advice I can offer is to support the proposal at Wikipedia:Usurpation. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 12:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for both answers. I give up, I don't want to bother many people for this detail... thanks again, I20 13:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pizzadude

Please change Vic Vipr to Pizzadude, thank you. ~ Vic Vipr 04:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pizzadude exists. Please go though the above instructions to check if a desired username is available. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:AngelThane and User:Angel Thane

I am helping out a new user who mistakenly created two accounts and has edits under both. S/he would like to keep User:Angel Thane, and if possible, to merge the contributions of User:AngelThane before it's deleted. Thank you. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 23:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My talk page confirms s/his request - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We can't merge accounts, we can only rename them: That is, we cannot take two accounts and merge the contribution lists, we can only take one account and reattribute it's edits and system preferences to a new, unused name. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 19:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crna Gora

Please change User:Dbalic, User:TWC, and User:CrnaGora to User:Crna Gora. I just don't like the name CrnaGora and would prefer Crna Gora because it matches more to Montenegro, which I am from and contribute mostly about. I stopped using Dbalic and changed it to CrnaGora, though I've nevemr requested a move. I used TWC, but didn't use it a lot. So I want my entire history and number of edits, etc of my accounts, to go to Crna Gora. I really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. CrnaGora 19:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not currently possible to merge multiple accounts into one; the most that can be done is to move User:CrnaGora, which is the account from which you have done the most work, to User:Crna Gora. BD2412 T 22:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As BD2412 points out, it is not possible to merge accounts (please see the note about this in the header); we can rename your current account to a new name if you would like that done, but we cannot merge several accounts together. If you're still interested in having your current account renamed, please confirm that here. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 03:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mvelinder

Please change Mvelinder2 to Mvelinder. I had registered Mvelinder awhile ago, but have since lost the password. In an attempt to retrieve it I realized that I failed to associate an email address with the account so I was unable to retrieve the password. And since I've already sent out recovery emails I'm assuming the password has been changed on the Mvelinder account, destroying all hope that I might remember it and recover the account. If there is a way to recover the account without going through the switching of usernames, that would be fine too. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Mvelinder2 18:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Mvelinder[reply]

For security reasons, we can't fulfil your request. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from security wise. Could you please check to see if there is any email address associated with the user:Mvelinder account so that I might be able to retrieve the password if I know what account it was sent to? Also, due to the very few edits, it's not exactly like I'm trying to steal someones reputation here. I had made the first account before I had really started editing a lot so it sat idle. Now that I've become a bit more active I'd like to have it associated with my name again. There is also a personal "neatness" factor having everything under one alias that is turning into a real splinter in my brain. Other than that, I'm not sure how there are any other ways to confirm that I really am the person from the first account and that I would just like it back because of a simple mistake I made. Any thoughts any of you have about this would be really helpful if it could help me prove who I am. Private communications would be welcome too. Mvelinder2 20:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bucephalus

Please rename User:ProxyAccount to User:Bucephalus. Thanks! ProxyAccount

Username exists. Please follow the above instructions in checking if a username is available. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jose Arelleno

Please change User:Jose and Ricardo to User:Jose Arelleno Note: This is a little out of process, as I'm not User:Jose and Ricardo. But the fact the he created a user page User:Jose Arelleno and moved User:Jose and Ricardo to User:Jose Arelleno twice suggests that he wants it. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can he verify this and endorse the request? We only change the username by request of the user concerned her/himself. Redux 04:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mikeib05

Please Change Mikeyib05 to WPMAClass06. Thanks Mikeyib05WPMA 12:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Can I ask why you are requesting the change? I am concerned that blanking of article may be the reason for this request. Changing usernames is not necessary because of this. You are a newbie, and you needn't change your username because of a single mistake. If you learn from it and start doing good work, you will not be haunted by mistakes made when you were still learning. Redux 04:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chee-sen

Please take a look at Chee-sen. It looks like a user has attempted to "rename" their own user account. The situation is in need of admin attention. Mike Dillon 03:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted the article space edits and placed a note on his talk page. =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drug Dealer

Please change User:Duel me to User:Drug Dealer. Please and thank you. Duel me 05:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected as per Wikipedia:Username. Please pick a username which is clearly within those guidelines. -- Pak aran 19:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indrek

If possible, please merge User:Karmic with User:Indrek. Can confirm from the other account, if needed. Thank you. Karmic 18:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot merge two accounts. We can only rename an existing account to a name that is not already taken, as it is stated in the instructions above. Redux 00:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Peturgt

Please change [Peturgt] to [Georg]. Georg 13:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Georg already exists. Please select a different username, but please use Special:Listusers to make sure that the account doesn't already exists before posting a new request. Redux 04:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
