  • For bureaucrat use: rename user
  • Reason: My current username (Almax999) was actually the name of a couple of other accounts that I have on different sites, and whenever someone Google searches "Almax999" they'll find me on here (I've seen it myself). I had also recently found out that having such a username is a risk of being seen by others who know me on different sights. (One account that has this same name is my email). So, to avoid being found and harrassed, I should change my name to something different. I also plan to go back to any talk pages I have signed over the past several months and change the signature so that my old username is not visible there anymore. Almax999 20:56, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: I am a bit concerned about your abuse of multiple accounts. Kingturtle (talk) 03:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have promised to stop abusing multiple accounts, but if I still can't be granted a name change because of that, then I guess I deserve it. Of course if I do get renamed, my sockpuppetry case and suspected sock puppets will follow me. If I still can't be renamed, then I may have no choice but to delete my user page and/or stop editing here. I do currently have one alternate account that has never been used for sockpuppetry, and it will never be used for sockpuppetry. The only other registered account I had (the sockpuppet) is indef'ed, so nobody will use that. I also don't edit as an anon IP anymore, so as to avoid being suspected of sockpuppetry again. If I may, I would like to bring up the fact that this same username that I currently have is the same username I have for email and a few other sites. I also edit here against my family's wishes (they don't like Wikipedia, but I do). In order to avoid trouble at home and elsewhere on the Internet, I need to keep my identity here confidential. Again, if I can't be renamed, then I will very likely have my user pages deleted and possibly retire early.--Almax999 04:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help[edit]

Good evening. I have changed my user account name from "BigFatPigCa" to "TagSmallPig". However, in the following edit history entry

" SineBot (Talk | contribs) m (52,687 bytes) (Signing comment byBigFatPigCa (talk) ) "

The old account name BigFatPigCa still appears without being replaced with the new account name "TagSmallPig". How can I make it disappeared totally? I have read the renaming instruction and waiting for servel days. And the name still remains the old one.

Thanks very much for helpping to solve this problem. It is very important for me. BigFatPigCa (talk) 15:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: User:BigFatPigCa disappeared totally when the change was made to User:TagSmallPig. User:BigFatPigCa reappeared when you recreated it. Recreating may be beneficial to you because it prevents anyone else from ever creating it. I can change User:BigFatPigCa to an anonymous username, but then it will be free for anyone to create.

Please change BigFatPigCa into an anonymous username. Thanks very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BigFatPigCa (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
