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

M. James Roth → M.james.roth

M. James Roth (talk) 02:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Bureaucrat note: The requested username is the same as your current name, aside from the first letter being in lowercase. Due to technical limitations, usernames must start with an uppercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference. MBisanz talk 02:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Actually, he wants the "j" and "r" decapitalized, which is acceptable and possible. –Juliancolton | Talk 03:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, he wants the M, J and R decap'd. MBisanz talk 05:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The name still is not the same because he's not asking for just the M to be decapitalized. I agree with Juliancolton. -Jeremy (v^_^v Stop... at a WHAMMY!!) 23:47, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: Can the user please confirm if you would be happy with an uppercase first letter, but lowercase j and r? We dislike performing multiple name changes for the same user, which is why MBisanz is being so careful not to just perform a change that you may still be unhappy with. --Dweller (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: Has this (or something else) been done? I can't see any edits for the old username? --Dweller (talk) 14:08, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • MBisanz seems to have renamed "M. James Roth" to "M.JamesRoth"[1] which is probably why no edits show up at the username listed above as "current". Regards SoWhy 14:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've fixed the request - it was missing a space, so the link to the contribs should be OK now. It would appear that the user created User:M. James Roth and had it renamed to User:M.JamesRoth (spaces removed). They then mistakenly recreated the old username, by logging into the SUL account, and have used that to place another request. It seems the user is not bothering to use either account any more, so perhaps this should just be closed not done. AJCham 14:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done Per clerk. --Dweller (talk) 16:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nshunsuke → NShunsuke

Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for NShunsuke. --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 15:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Please confirm that you own the jawiki account by logging in there and leaving a note on your talk page approving this change, then post the diff here. Thank you, AJCham 06:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done No reply. --Dweller (talk) 16:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moon Gallery → Roger Lin

 Not done No response. MBisanz talk 14:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hleetranspo → hl649

  • reason: Posed as a conflict of interest. Have read the WP:COI page. I will state my intentions on my user page with the new username. 20:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC) Hleetranspo (talk • contribs)
  •  Bureaucrat note: Please confirm you have read WP:COI. Please also confirm you understand that this applies regardless of username. Please confirm you have saved the information in your userspace about your company so that I can delete it from there. Please confirm you will not recreate it on Wikipedia, further to WP:COI. --Dweller (talk) 18:02, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have read WP:COI, and i understand it applies regardless of my username. I was planning on uploading my page after I worked on it further. I can't upload my page even if I state my intentions/affiliations on my user page?

Londonjerusalem → Steve Sabella

Petercaton → Peter caton

  •  Clerk note: Please log in to request a rename. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ashtray.jp → Ashtray

 Bureaucrat note: Please make an edit using the en: account User:Ashtray. --Dweller (talk) 14:17, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I do not understand it well... Yet I do not have a acount "Ashtray" in en-wikipedia. I want to rename into the same name with ja-account for "Unified login". --Ashtray.jp (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: It was created in 2005, but has no edits at all since then. Hold on while I talk to my colleagues. --Dweller (talk) 19:57, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: Crats, how fussy should we be in trying to contact that editor from 4 years ago who's never used the account, when someone has an active SUL? I'm inclined to just do the usurp now. It seems silly to hang about, but I'm usually pretty conservative with these things and I'm wary of dashing in before someone has a chance to point out it's a bad idea. --Dweller (talk) 19:57, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note:The request should be made at WP:CHU/SUL. -- Avi (talk) 16:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
