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

Pehrluedtke → NonProfitBuff2010

Alytapp → YSTECH

 Clerk note: This user name has an issues per WP:CORPNAME: a cooling fan manufacturer in USA [1] and Taiwan [2]; an IT company [3]. Accidental or intentional use of a company name as a user name is prohibited by the user name policy. Please choose another name. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 15:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

strikersallstars → STRIKERS ALLSTARS

Reason: I was not aware that the username was going to be the main name on the main page of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strikersallstars (talk • contribs) 00:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Fixed request. Jarkeld (talk) 00:22, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 00:24, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: If your intent is to promote yourself on Wikipedia, be aware that promotional accounts are blocked on sight as a matter of course. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Username policy. —Jeremy (v^_^v Boribori!) 09:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not for promotion. They were the First All Male Black Collegiate Stepping Crew from America's Best Dance Crew Season 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strikersallstars (talk • contribs) 19:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: From the above explanation i see a few issues relating to user name policy. It is promotional in the sense that it is the name of a group or organisation. Also, if you are not a member of the group it is misleading. Either way, please select a personal user name that is representative of yourself. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 17:49, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I understand... Can this page be deleted?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strikersallstars (talk • contribs) 00:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Which page? If you mean this one (Wikipedia:Changing username), then no. If you are wanting your request removed, we can decline the rename if you wish. If you still want a username change, simply change the request accordingly. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
yes, I would still like the username to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strikersallstars (talk • contribs) 07:31, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: What do you want your username to be, then? We've already told you it can not be what you originally requested, so we need you to select another one. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 17:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GrampyOldSoundMan → GrumpyOldSoundMan

GrampyOldSoundMan (talk) 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits; Target account conflicts with SUL. SoxBot (talk) 21:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. The Grumpy username was registered two days before the Grampy username. Did you accidentally register both? ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done due to no response. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Msudhakardce → Sudhakar சுதாகர்

Hello. While there is no rule against usernames which contain non-Latin characters, they make navigation difficult for most users. Are you sure this is the name you want, and that there is no alternative? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 12:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CRUK → Health

 Bureaucrat note: As your current username is tied to an organization, you do indeed need to change usernames (also per your privacy request), however, User:Health is already taken, so you'd have to usurp the name. This is usually reserved for well-established editors, so you may just have to select a username that isn't already taken. Useight (talk) 18:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Umwherc → UMW HERC

 Clerk note: Request moved from WP:CHU/U. Jarkeld (talk) 00:09, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Promotional usernames are not permitted per the username policy and may be blocked. Please select a different username. Useight (talk) 00:51, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wexeb → Martin981012

M.Pavkovic → FCBayern

 Clerk note: A German football club is not an appropriate user name. (See the articles FC Bayern Munich and FC Bayern Munich II.) Please select a different user name that is personal to yourself and does not represent an organisation. User names that promote a business or other entity are subject to being blocked per the user name policy. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 15:07, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also note that the requested user name exists on HRWP, a language which this user speaks according to the user's user page. User name policy may vary from one wiki to another. I have left a note on hr:User talk:FCBayen ~ assuming the accounts are held by the same person HRWP would be the home project.[4] delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 15:56, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Al. K. Lisch → Florian Weber

Maybe I should mention that I just want the old Account to be moved away and register it, so the logs aren't a problem, because according to [5] there are no edits. Dr. Al. K. Lisch - unterwegs (talk) 15:42, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Bureaucrat note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you are an established user and wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at m:Steward requests/Username changes. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. Please also note that it may be difficult for you to usurp the account due to the small number of edits you have made. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I have been allready once missunderstood: I don't want to take the account, I want it to be free, to enable me to take it and start new. Dr. Al. K. Lisch - unterwegs (talk) 18:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I apologize for any confusion, but what you are describing is a roundabout way of usurping an account. To do so, please follow the directions above. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cesco → Krukouski

Jobey → OrganicMan

 Done Pakaran 01:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Laurentiu.barna → Laurentiu.barna

 Clerk 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. This is what i do. If you want to see my user page as an example click on "delirious" in my signature". delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 11:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
