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.


Requests

NugraSalman → Nugra Salman

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 08:20, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Is this name intended to represent you as an individual? Nugra Salman appears to be the name of a correctional facility. Pakaran 15:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Oafp → qp1995

Despite the fact that all notes, on the edit page, show qp1995 with lower case, for some reason, the highlighted (red) text on the Rename page shows the "Q" capitalized. I'd like to stress that I would prefer both the "q" and the "p" to be lower case. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oafp (talk • contribs) 05:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 05:50, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Due to the MediaWiki software, it's impossible for a username to be lowercase, but you may change it to appear that way in your signature and on your userpage, using Template:DISPLAYTITLE. You may proceed with the rename if you wish. Tyrol5 [Talk] 21:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Editor has indicated on my talk page that he'd like to proceed with the rename to the software default "Qp1995". Thanks, Tyrol5 [Talk] 23:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 03:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done Your userpage shows you to have an interest in a band called Brim River Bridge. Your comments imply that you seek to advertise the band using your username, see WP:GROUPNAME. Also, our policy does not permit a username that implies it belongs to a a group of people or an organisation, like a band. See WP:ISU. --Dweller (talk) 08:37, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Schöffski → Lieve Ons

  • Current name: Patrick Schöffski (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
  • Requested name: Lieve Ons (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
  • Datestamp: 06:52, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Reason: I've got this message: "Thanks for your message on my talk page. Since you tell me you are Patrick Schöffski's medical secretary, even though the article is not an autobiography as such, it amounts to much the same thing, as you are working on his behalf. Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about him, as you have a close personal connection, and you should be very careful. Also, Wikipedia's username policy does not allow you to have a username that gives the impression that you are another person, so you should not continue to edit under your present username. There are two ways you can continue to edit without doing that. The simplest is to just create a new account. If you do that, I very strongly advise you to mark both user pages with a note saying that the two accounts are the same person, to avoid the risk that anyone will think you are using two accounts with the intention of being deceptive, which unfortunately many people do. However, there are advantages in having the present account renamed instead, as this will keep all your edits together, making it clear that you have done them all. Personally, I suggest doing that, even though it takes a little more trouble. There are, in my opinion, rather excessively long instructions and advice on requesting a change of username at WP:Changing username, but the place to go to make the request is Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple, and that page tells you how to do it.

  •  Bureaucrat note: Before we make the name change, please confirm that you have read WP:COI and understand it applies regardless of your username. --Dweller (talk) 11:22, 22 April 2013 (UTC) -->[reply]

User:DrNeelam Goyal → Atomic Power Awareness

 Neel071 (talk) 10:56, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
  • The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
  • There is no global account registered for INDIA, however there are 2 unattached accounts on other wikis. --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 11:54, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. MBisanz talk 13:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
