- Reason: My username looks odd as the first word starts with a capital but the next two don't. I did that by mistake when I was creating the account. My new choice is is better, which I think you will understand. Mohammad abrar wadud (talk) 08:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Uker → UKER
[edit]
- Current name: Uker (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I have had a curious mishap. Seems like I've been inadvertently using two accounts with the same username, only diferring in capitalization, a problem that originated in Wikipedia letting me register two different accounts to the same email address. I have been actively using both accounts in two different PCs and would like to move over to using only 'UKER', but I obviously don't want to lose track of my contributions. Can you do this while reassigning all my contributions to the new account? Thanks in advance. uKER (talk) 13:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

- How could I do? --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 02:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: No, because then the edits you made as 蘇州宇文宙武 until now will be lost. You can have that one renamed to something else, then rename Apollo Augustus Koo to 蘇州宇文宙武 but I'd say it's easier if you simply used 蘇州宇文宙武 from now on and have a link on your userpage informing people that you have previously used "Apollo Augustus Koo" as a username. As Chris says, there is no way of merging both users and as such, any renaming is quite unnecessary. Regards SoWhy 19:41, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I left Wikipedia following an unhappy incident a over a year ago. I returned about two months ago - but signed up for a new user name (I should have just renamed the old one, I know). I have now clocked up about 1,700 edits with the new account (Rannpháirtí_anaithnid). I would like the edits from the old account (Grahamzilch) reattributed to the new account (Rannpháirtí_anaithnid) and the old account deleted. I'm logging in under the old account solely for the purposes of making this request. Many thanks. Grahamzilch (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot (talk) 01:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

- 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)

- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I think the name Blofeld is looked upon at places like ANI in a derogatory way in that people always use past events in ongoing discussions to justify their way. If in the future Himalayan Explorer ever becomes subject of debate it won't ring a bell with a lot people. So a new name I think is appropriate. Don't worry about it affecting sister accounts, my current Dr. Blofeld does too. Besides which the Himalayas and Tibet are a special part of the world to me... The whole doctor evil thing is a bit dated now I think...Its SO 1967. Dr. Blofeld White cat 09:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 09:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- BTW I think a steward will have to do that since you have 200,000+ edits. Pzrmd (talk) 09:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: I've asked the other 'crats about this on the bureaucrat noticeboard; the fact that you've got 263,063 edits here definitely does give me pause.
As an aside, the evil doctor thing is never dated. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:49, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
You mean because I might crash the server and leave loads of frustrated Americans turning to Sanger's encyclopedia instead LOL? You mean I'm stuck being Aevil for life? Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: I don't think that there should be a problem, although it may slow things down a bit. And no, you're not stuck for life :) -- Avi (talk) 16:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- Bureaucrat note: Earlier this year we had some instances of CHUs taking over a week to complete, getting lost in limbo. As I recall these were situations in which the account had 10,000+ edits. Was that issue ever resolved? Kingturtle (talk) 16:42, 27 July 2009 (UTC) P.S. I really like the username Dr. Blofeld. It'd be a shame to see it disappear.
Decline then, OK, forget the idea then. Don't want to cause any server trouble. The next time somebody says I'm lazy and do little to improve this site tell em I couldn't change my user name because it is embedded in too many articles!! I'll have to build a Buddhist meditation chamber in my volcano with panoramic scenery of mountains then. I'm happy then to pretend it is still the swinging 60s and the war is still a Cold one then...

- Not done For what it's worth, I totally agree with Kingturtle; I like the username "Dr. Blofeld". :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
That's a pretty good excuse to stay being evil then. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Per the evil Dr. Vibber "Servers would not be very happy; don't do it." Sorry -- Avi (talk) 18:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
