Current requests
Eagleaid → Mentordr09
- Current name: Eagleaid (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Mentordr09 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Eagleaid (talk) 11:20, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 11:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: The use of company names in usernames is generally discouraged; I'm guessing that's why you're here. I'd be interested, though, in what "Mentordr09" ("Mentor Dr. 09") means, if anything. Caution is always best. Any other 'crat can feel free to go ahead and perform the rename if they think I'm reading too much into this. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 12:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Please provide a reason for renaming.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 16:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Not done Per AD and lack of response. MBisanz talk 21:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Quagliotto → Qinstallations
- Current name: Quagliotto (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Qinstallations (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: because Wikipedia believes that there was a COI and that I was not posting with a neutral point of view. Quagliotto (talk) 14:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 14:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Note that the requested username may be deemed as a promotional, and would therefore violate Username Policy. Also, changing your username will not resolve the issues stated as your reason for renaming. ∙ AJChamtalk 14:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Miamism → Inesgh
- Current name: Miamism (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Inesgh (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: don't want to be confused with business or commercial name. Miamism (talk) 19:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 20:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- I just renamed your account, as requested [1]. Did you just re-register it? Either way, I can't rename it again. I suggest you log out of the Miamism account permanently, and log into the Ineshg account and use that instead. --Deskana, (talk) 20:03, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Headbomb → Gaetan Landry
- Current name: Headbomb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Gaetan Landry (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: I want to "professionalize" my account. You can't place "User:Headbomb" on business cards without running into old coots who will take this as a sign that you're just some myspace kid. I'm aware of all the consequences and yadda yadda yadda that ensues from using your real name on the internet. Please do not make the rename immediatly, I just want confirmation that it is possible for now (I'd switch sometimes this week if possible); I need to check a few things before switching. Some questions: 1) Will all my userpage and subpages be moved to the new account or would they have to be moved manually? 2) Will all my old account settings be preserved, or do I need to re-enter emails and whatnots? Thanks. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 04:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: To answer your questions: 1) Yes, they will be automatically moved during the rename and, 2) All your settings, watchlist, email, etc. will be preserved. Regards, Javért ☆ 04:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: Javert is correct. With your questions answered, would you like the rename to be done? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Not right now, but sometimes this week. I'll let you know when I'm ready for the switch. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: Further you have over 30,000 edits, which does mean that there is a 50/50 chance a rename will break your account (usually some edits are not re-attributed, sometimes userrights or userpages need to be moved manually) that will require a developer to help fix. Just some knowledge. MBisanz talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- {{not done}} Headbomb will re-submit when ready. MBisanz talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really see a need to "not done" this. Why can't it just sit here until he notes he's ready...? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: Been a week now, any updates? MBisanz talk 07:06, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Harvest magazine → Julia Carlo
- Current name: Harvest magazine (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Julia Carlo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: username clashes with new article Harvest magazine (talk) 06:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 06:54, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? Also, please be advised that WP:COI applies no matter what your username is. Regards, Javért ☆ 06:58, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Isotype revisited → CBurke
- Current name: Isotype revisited (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: CBurke (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: To avoid the conflict of interest tag appearing on the principal page I have edited, 'Isotype (picture language)'. My previous username is the name of an academic research project (non-commercial) that happens to partly bear the name of its historical subject, Isotype. The article I have contributed as a representative of this project is neutral in tone and serves solely to educate. Unfortunately it triggered an automatic conflict of interest tag, which I did not realize would happen Isotype revisited (talk) 20:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 20:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: It might be possible to get it so that there won't be any CoI tags when you edit that article. I'm not sure how it works; I've never been tagged with it when editing Soap, or when writing the word "soap" into other articles, and likewise I haven't had problems on my alternate account 3centsoap either, even when making edits like this. Would you still want to change your name anyway, even if the edit filter tags could be fixed? -- Soap Talk/Contributions 20:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: The tag was added by this user: 98.248.33.198, it doesn't seem to be an automated event. Metty 23:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think there might be some confusion here between the edit filter tag and the warning that was placed on Isotype's talk page. I hadn't seen that before, and am not sure what either of them meant when they mentioned tags. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 23:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk note: I don't see a potential COI with the original username.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 18:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- From Isotype revisited (talk) 18:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC): I think that the CoI warning and initial CoI header tag (now removed) on the page Isotype (picture language) were triggered by my username being identical with that of a website in the external links of that page: www.isotyperevisited.org, which has just gone live and so can be checked for its neutrality. I can understand the principle of this, and don't want it to keep happening to me, given that my contributions under this username will generally all pertain to that subject. So it may be advisable to change my username.
