Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
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:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. 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.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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=
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

Certified.Gangsta → NWA.Rep

parole: User:Bishonen/ArbCom appeal for Certified.Gangsta [1] All other blocks are either 1 second block to apologize for previous bad blocks and well, the bad blocks. Thanks--Certified.Gangsta (talk) 01:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certified.Gangsta (talk · contribs · count · logs · block log · lu · rfas · rfb · arb · rfc · lta · socks) should not be renamed.
This user has an extensive block log[2][3][4][5] and a long history of vandalism sockpuppetry per Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Certified.Gangsta and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram. In addition, this user has already been renamed twice. See
I think because of the block log and POV issues, it would be best not to rename. That being said, I'm admittedly very biased on this matter as we've had our conflicts. Wizardman 11:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ddrman642 → FindDDRhands

Please delete your global account at m:SR/SUL first. Andre (talk) 02:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Kingturtle (talk) 17:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anacrossan → NEW

I did request earlier to change my username to lolopapalangi, please cancel the request.I do aplogise for the incovenience to you. Thanks.

 Bureaucrat note: - it has already been changed. Will the new name be okay? Kingturtle (talk) 05:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: No reply after 10 days. Rudget (logs) 09:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Kingturtle (talk) 17:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NAVIN BVR → NAVIN SHETTY

 Bureaucrat note: Rudget's question is important. The new username will be case sensitive. Kingturtle (talk) 20:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ashishbhatnagar72 → आशीष भटनागर

Osumc → OSUMC

 Not done Do not use your account for a group of people to use. Do not use your account to edit the OSUMC article. And as Rudget said, find a neutral username. Kingturtle (talk) 19:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amirfikrie → Amir Fikrie

It is not possible for bureaucrats to rename accounts that have already been unified across Wikimedia projects. You will first need to have your unified account deleted by making a request at m:Steward requests/SUL requests before I can perform this request. WjBscribe 22:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SAM415 → Sammy4

 Not done The name sammy4 (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 04:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GO-HERE → Implosive Endothermic

It refused to let me log in. I decided that just creating a new account in my real name was easier. Sorry to have bothered you. (retracts request) Gdewilde (talk) 01:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - withdrawn. WjBscribe 01:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AFRIKAANS → RinaKing

 Not done I'm sorry, but you must log in as the account you need renamed for it to be performed. Additionally, "AFRIKAANS" isn't a registered account. EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ben.metelits → Anonymous

 Clerk note: The name Anonymous has already been taken, but it appears that it has no edits. The name change should be requested at WP:USURP. Useight (talk) 03:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Kingturtle (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gary0203 → DisneyChannel101

 Bureaucrat note: Please select a different username. DisneyChannel101 could be interpreted as promotional. Kingturtle (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about DCFan101 ? If it's still not possible, DChannel101. --Gary0203 (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DCFan101 yes. DChannel101 is just as bad as your original requested name. -Jéské (v^_^v Damn spy sappin' mah sentry!) 23:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Use DCFan101 then. --Gary0203 (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: User:DCFan101 is already taken. Kingturtle (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ezekiel of Howdypedia → Ezekiel 7:19

 Not done Ezekiel 7:19 is taken, presumably by you. If this isn't you, you can usurp the account, but if it is, just post here with that account and we can rename that and then "Ezekiel of Howdypedia" to "Ezekiel 7:19". EVula // talk // ☯ // 13:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Avengercrunk → Tiny Rascal Gang

Zydllh → Zydllh

 Clerk note: Sorry; all usernames have their first letter capitalized by default due to technical restrictions. -Jéské (v^_^v Trump XXI) 17:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: - To make the first letter appear lowercase add {{lowercase}} to your userpage. Also you may want to customize your signature. Kingturtle (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Volkovroble → V0lk0vr0ble

 Bureaucrat note: You were renamed just two days ago, and have only made two edits (aside from this request) since then. I dislike seeing WP:CHU being used so liberally; how about you wait and try out your username for a bit first? EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firsttech → Waterbottle

 Not done The account exists, but has no edits. However, it was username-blocked due to being too similar to User:Water Bottle. Is there another name you'd like to have? EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

St88888888 → St8kid

 Clerk note: This request was altered by an IP address [6]. The original request can be found here. Useight (talk) 20:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Kingturtle (talk) 17:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety → North American Geographical Society

--NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC) NorthAmericanGeographicalSociety (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Role accounts (accounts used by multiple people) are not allowed. Furthermore, usernames can't be the names of organizations. Please request a new name. EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bole2 → BUC

 Bureaucrat note: There's already a Buc account; if this is you, just post here with that account and we can rename "Buc" to something else and then "Bole2" to "Buc". EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's just a redirect to my user page. Buc (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Yes, but he wants you to log in as Buc and make a note here saying that it is your account. Useight (talk) 15:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As Useight said, you'll need to log in with the account; it's more than just a redirect, it's that there's an actual Buc account. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an actual account, if you click it you'll find it just redirect to my user page. Buc (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: It is an actual account, its contributions can be found here. The account exists, and is apparently owned by another individual, you just redirected the userpage that the account holder apparently never got around to making. You can see the log of the account's creation here; it was created on January 5th of last year. Useight (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about BUC? Buc (talk) 09:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obama 0wnage → 6qgqqgqgqgqq

 Not done That name is highly confusing and does not meet the username guidelines either, and would likely be blocked at WP:UAA. I suggest re-reading the policy, and picking a different name. --MCB (talk) 22:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zamboni93 → Invalidusername

 Not done I'm sorry, but "Invalidusername" is already taken. Is there another username you'd be fine with? EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

piercemcmanus → jamie1234

 Clerk note: I reformatted this request, please see the original request here. Useight (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I'm sorry, but "Jamie1234" is already registered. However, it has no edits; you may usurp the account if you'd like, or you can request a different name. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done — Dan | talk 20:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Londenp → Pjetter

Sorry, you'll have to get your SUL account deleted first: m:SR/SUL. — Dan | talk 20:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yes, was a stupid mistake. Did that, so once again please consider this request. I saw that in the mean time User:pjetter was registered here. Sorry for messing things up so much. Londenp (talk) 22:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The name Pjetter (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 17:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is difficult... but I made Pjetter premature to a global account, as I thought namechange from Londenp to Pjetter was made already and then because of SUL I entered en.wikipedia.org from another account where namechange was already done when this new account Pjetter was made automatically because of sul again. So I had a steward remove my global account on meta, but now this is removed, so you can go forward with the namechange. Thanks (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AChanging_username%2FUsurpations&diff=224208469&oldid=224174480 for Usurpations) Pjetter (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC) and Londenp (talk) 20:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: - User:Pjetter is still in existence. You need to take this to Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 20:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did that see the diff just one sentence before. You must be able to do both. Londenp (talk) 20:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you telling me to go to another page and is the other one telling me to go to this page? Please help me, By now I have really given so much proof that it is me! Londenp (talk) 20:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This process works like thus: a bureaucrat will examine this request (it may take some time), then perform the rename based on the merits of the request. You will know when you've been renamed as you will be logged out in the process; simply sign in with the new name and your password the next time you come on. -Jéské (v^_^v Damn spy sappin' mah sentry!) 22:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
