  • Current name: Comaze (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

  • Reason: I've been stalked by someone on wikipedia for a year. I think it might help if I rename my account. I would like to be somewhat anonymous.

Sausageracer → Erictjohnson[edit]

If your real name is Eric T. Johnson, I would disadvise you from taking this name on Wikipedia. Anonymity is a valued thing, and never hurts on the internet. There have been cases of people getting harassed outside Wikipedia for actions here in the past. SalaSkan 15:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yves Revi → Georginho[edit]

Please delete Georginho made by me yesterday. Thank you very much. n.b. Holy crab. No lowercase for the first letter? Yves Revi 11:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note:. Yes usernames must start with a capital. Also accounts can't be deleted - only renamed - so we'd have to rename Georginho to something else so you can be renamed to that. If that account is also yours, could you sign this request while logged into that account to confirm it? Thanks, WjBscribe 13:30, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you rename this to what you want and change "Yves Revi" to "Georginho", please? Thanks much. Georginho 18:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reason: When I created a user, I didn't think I will come as active as I have and chose pretty much random username. Now I would like to use my own name as username, since I don't want to be anonymous here. Also, as I recently found out, DLX is also a gene and microprocessor archidecture, I am unsure of copyright issues regarding those - so changing username would be good in any case.

  • Requested name: Mikael Häggström (rename user)
  • Reason: Mortsggah sounds bad, almost like an orch. Judge yourselves if Mikael Häggström sounds better, but at least it is my real name. I see no reason to edit under a pseudonym. In contrast, I want Wikipedians to see who really made the changes. An alias might change throughout lifetime, but the real name is often constant. I'm aware of, however, that my surname can be a little tricky to type in on any non-Scandinavian keyboard. Nevertheless, it simply wouldn't be me if it was spelled otherwise. In short, please, let me edit as the person I really am. Mikael Häggström 13:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to know what the purpose of the account is, feel free to click on it. I also feel it is appropriate to have the name of that account made a little bit longer, by two reasons. First, it expresses better what it is all about. Second, it prevents users from ending up on it by mistake.

Firstly, being logged out is a normal process as your browser's cookies are wanting to log into Springbob Squirepants, your old username, and as it is no longer a username, it is being rejected by the login page. Therefore, you have to re-login to update the cookies. Secondly, the contributions appear to be there, you might not be seeing them yourself.

Since I sign myself as Walton and am usually addressed as such, I'd rather have a username that is closer to what I use in practice.

VshBot → O (bot)[edit]

  • Current name: VshBot (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: O (bot) (rename user)
  • Reason: (this is my bot) To have some resemblance to my [now] changed username. (O - RLY?) 00:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if "O (bot)" is a good username. It seems confusing to me, as though disambiguating. How about Obot or O's bot or something? Andre (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your suggestions, I'm sorry to say, don't really have the effect. User:Gnome (Bot) does the same thing. (O - RLY?) 00:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But there's no User:Gnome. Andre (talk) 00:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but do either of these usernames violate the policy? (O - RLY?) 00:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The name reads to me as if user O is a bot, which isn't right? — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's confusing because this is "User:O" running a bot he wants to call "User:O (bot)." As far as policy, it may fall under "Usernames that closely resemble the name of another Wikipedia user and may cause confusion." Andre (talk) 00:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
O is me. Though it might have a disambiguating effect on it, Gnome (Bot), when the initial BRFA was in discussion, had no objections about the username from the BAG. Though every case is different, the user Gnome was registered, with 0 edits. I do, however, believe that a broader input is needed due to the [possible] controversy over this rename. (O - RLY?) 01:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think a name like "OBot" would be a lot more conventional. The name "O (bot)" suggests "a user named O, which just to clarify, is a bot". This could lead to confusion with the other user named O, who is you. But it's not a huge deal. Dcoetzee 20:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. If nobody really thinks it's a big deal I'll do it anyway. Andre (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If consensus does not prefer having the parentheses around "bot", then could the new username be what I requested it to be, but without the parentheses? (O - RLY?) 21:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: Joehachem (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

 Bureaucrat note: It's really not clear what you mean. Can you explain a bit more? --Deskana (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This user is not Joe Hachem as his username implies. Username as-is violates WP:USERNAME#Inappropriate_usernames. See also Talk:Hachem_Exposed. Marwood 13:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bugger. Technohead1980 then please. Triangle e 14:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mindys12345 → Adam.J.W.C.[edit]

 Done -- Andre (talk) 00:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Might have been an idea if you had disclosed to the current crats that this request had been declined previously on 2 occasions: [2], [3]. Not doing so seems a little dishonest. WjBscribe 01:35, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never thought I had to. I thought that maybe the same people from last time would have overlooked the previous two attempts and changed it due to moderate good behaviour, around 95 percent good-excellent and 5 percent, lets moderatly uncivil, but not so bad that I would recieve a warning.

Cbrockefella → CbRockefella[edit]

 Clerk note: It is probably better to create a new account, and then redirect the old userpage(s) to your new name, if there will be content in your new userpage. (O - RLY?) 22:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No it isn't. The account creation software wouldn't allow that name to be created - too similar to an existing user. Renaming is the best option. WjBscribe 22:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bmyersinc → Blueberryman[edit]

  • Current name: Bmyersinc (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Blueberryman (rename user)
  • Reason: Created my first account a few days ago and used a name that may be in violation because it loosely refers to a company that I created a page for. I chose the name as a tribute only and didn't realize (a) references to companies or promotions is frowned upon and (b) it may affect credibility pertaining to editing. I joined this commnity in good faith, create content in good faith and would rather fix the issue early than upset other members. The name Blueberryman is about as nuetral a username as I can imagine. As a new user, I welcome feedback or further instruction Bmyersinc 23:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
