Changing username/Simple

This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.

Instructions

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Click here to place your request.
- Add your desired username after NEW=
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=
- Do not change anything after CURRENT=
Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.

Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

Important Notes After you are renamed...

Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.

... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

Bureaucrat note: I filled out the request above before seeing this one. Please elaborate on your reasons for requesting a rename and why two accounts are concerned. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 13:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: My initial intuition was that it's supposed to be a doppelgänger account (based on "to protect user identity"), but since both have edited in 2011, that seems unlikely, especially since doppelgängers don't need renaming (just create a new one and mark it as such). So that leads me to conclude that it's some other kind of alternative account, but we need to know which kind. --NYKevin @716, i.e. 16:10, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I understand the instructions regarding naming of accounts, however, we (that is CReSTeD) are no different to organisations such as the Dyslexia Association, and you do allow them a user name. If I make changes to pages they will only be to correct or delete references to CReSTeD made by other organisations so that we can ensure we are not misrepresented. For example: Woodleigh School used to be listed within the Register but are not now, to leave the reference in place would give parents the impression that the school was still capable of providing the tuition needed for their dyslexic child, when this is no longer the case. I want the representatives of these companies to know who has made the change, it makes far more sense that they see CReSTeD has made that change rather than me. I reserve the right to create a CReSTeD page within wikipedia - once I work out how! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesleyfarrar (talk • contribs) 09:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I apologize for any confusion. As far as I know, there is no user "Dyslexia Association", or anything similar. I just did a search and couldn't find anything like it. If there is one, we would have them change their username as well. This has been a long-standing policy, so you aren't being singled out. Please select a username which represents you, as an individual, not who you work for or an organization you are with. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.

-**I understand the instructions regarding naming of accounts, however, we (that is CReSTeD) are no different to organisations such as the Dyslexia Association, and you do allow them a user name.  If I make changes to pages they will only be to correct or delete references to CReSTeD made by other organisations so that we can ensure we are not misrepresented.  For example:  Woodleigh School used to be listed within the Register but are not now, to leave the reference in place would give parents the impression that the school was still capable of providing the tuition needed for their dyslexic child, when this is no longer the case.  I want the representatives of these companies to know who has made the change, it makes far more sense that they see CReSTeD has made that change rather than me.  I reserve the right to create a CReSTeD page within wikipedia - once I work out how!  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Lesleyfarrar|Lesleyfarrar]] ([[User talk:Lesleyfarrar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lesleyfarrar|contribs]]) 09:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-***I apologize for any confusion. As far as I know, there is no user "Dyslexia Association", or anything similar. I just did a search and couldn't find anything like it. If there is one, we would have them change their username as well. This has been a long-standing policy, so you aren't being singled out. Please select a username which represents you, as an individual, not who you work for or an organization you are with. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</span>]]<sup>[[WP:HIJCS|?]]</sup> · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]] · [[WP:JA|<font color="maroon">Join WP Japan</font>]]!</small> 16:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
-***Please bear in mind that the username policy isn't the only impediment to what you're trying to do.  [[meta:Role accounts|Role accounts]] are not generally permitted, regardless of their usernames.  The only exceptions do not edit, as far as I'm aware, and exist mostly to make it easier to contact certain Wikimedia functionaries.  We ''do'' permit individuals to make edits when they have [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest]], but we expect such people to follow [[WP:PSCOI|certain rules]], including strict abidance by the one-person-per-account policy.  Your account represents ''you'', not your employer.  Finally, please note that, while the [[International Dyslexia Association]] does have an ''article'', they do not, to the best of our knowledge, have any official ''presence'' on the English Wikipedia -- that is, they do not ''formally'' participate in or advise the editing process.  Such formal participation, as I have explained, is not permitted, although serious problems may be reported to [[WP:OTRS|the volunteer response team]] or [[WP:Contact us|other venues]] by anyone, including the subject.  --'''''<font color="red">[[User:NYKevin|N]]</font><font color="green">[[User talk:NYKevin|Y]]</font><font color="blue">[[Special:Contributions/NYKevin|Kevin]]</font>''''' @201, i.e. 03:49, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
