  • Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
  • For global renamer: rename user
  • Reason: Actually, I don't know where this request fits in but it seems that my username has taken 2 different forms: TommyT & Tommyt. I wanted to get rid of TommyT. Also, I'm in the WikiProject Films group under TommyT & I wanted to be in there under Tommyt. Will that carry over? Or can you give me an idea of how to do it myself?

 Clerk note: As do I. –Juliancolton | Talk 20:13, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
admins please, there is nothing insulting about it, Allah means God, nothing else. Many people have Allah: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=Allah&group=&limit=50 And many people have God: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=God&group=&limit=50 The fact that you have allowed so many people to have it, and now not me? Is this fair? Please reconsider. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: The argument that the existence of similar usernames indicates that this username should be permitted is a logical fallacy. Also summed up, albeit in an article-related fashion, at WP:OSE. I agree with the decision not to perform this rename; however, my take is kind of the opposite of EVula's: the username would more offensive to those who do not subscribe to a particular religion. Useight (talk) 20:52, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Useight. Calling a god supreme is usually not offensive to people who follow this god but might be to everyone else. Regards SoWhy 21:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I never specified which particular religion would be offended, or that there'd be only one offended group. ;) EVula // talk // // 22:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly object to approving Supreme Deliciousness's name change to Supreme Allah. This would be grossly offensive and tantamount to blasphemy! --Arab Cowboy (talk) 11:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The username would be very offensive to christian or muslim arabs, as it implies that the user sees himself as "Supreme Allah". I don't see why you'd want that username anyway, which would undermine your neutrality in any related discussion. Most of the usernames you referred to have 1-10 edits, you on the other hand would be more involved and pose more problems. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grahamzilch → Rannpháirtí anaithnid

[edit]

 Clerk note: Unfortunately, accounts cannot be merged nor deleted. You may be able to WP:USURP one account with the other, but I haven't looked into the number of edits or their GDFL-compliance. Useight (talk) 05:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The old account has approx. 6,500 edits. The new one has approx. 1,700 edits (that's the one I'm posting from now). The reason I ask is because Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention says this is the place to "Reassign edits or make name changes." Maybe that's a remnant from the distant past (when IP edits could be reassigned to a user name).
It's my own fault, I know. So, if it ain't possible to reassign the edits, I'll just have to live with it. Thanks. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 10:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: Edits can be reassigned to a new name as part of a name change. At this point, the software does not permit assigning edits to a pre-existing name, sorry. -- Avi (talk) 16:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: In theory, through a series of usurpations, you could get the 6500 edits moved to the account that currently has 1700, if you prefer that name, but you won't be able to get all 8200 to the same account. Useight (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to you both. It's my own fault anyway.
This may seem strange - I don't know what software you have - but would it be possible to assign both to a new account (i.e. "simultaneously" reassign edits from the old account and the current account to a wholly new account)? Otherwise, I think it would be a developer job ... and I really don't think my couple of edits called that ;-)
Much thanks regardless and sorry for pestering you with requests for something I messed up on. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 23:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Without developer intervention, unfortunately not. The software only allows one-to-one assignments, and this would requre many-to-one. Sorry. So, what would you like to do under the restrictions of the software? -- Avi (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Let's park it. I'll give consideration to contacting a developer through the IRC channel. In the mean time, do you think that there would be any problem with the "Grahamzilch" account editing that's account's user and talk page with a redirect and note to the "Rannpháirtí anaithnid" account? And placing a note on "Rannpháirtí anaithnid" user page to the guist that I previously edited under the "Grahamzilch" account? --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 10:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Not at all. We also have {{FormerAccount}} which may be appropriate. -- Avi (talk) 05:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
