Sivarticus → Fkingtell
- Current name: Sivarticus (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Fkingtell (rename user)
- Reason: I'm chaning to a user name that represents me beter Sivarticus 23:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I am curious, what is the origin of the username? Right now it resembles a swear word too much, for me. --Deskana (banana) 00:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- You have a point. The first letter comes from my first name, and kingtell is my new screen name. I would settle for Kingtell, or Wkingtell, would those work? Sivarticus 15:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, either one of those is fine. Which one do you prefer? Andre (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

- Current name: Colin.simpson@optusnet.com.au (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Ozcrud (rename user)
- Reason: Reason for requested renaming. I did not mena to expose my email address Colin.simpson@optusnet.com.au 11:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

OsteopathicFreak → Hopping
- Current name: OsteopathicFreak (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Hopping (rename user)
- Reason: I would like my user name to be my own name. Note: In my ignorance, I attempted to change my name by simply "moving" User:OsteopathicFreak to User:Hopping. I moved it back once I realized this was improper procedure. The User:Hopping page is now blank, but exsistant. My apologies. TU OsteopathicFreak T 01:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Clerk note: The requested name already exists, however is usurpable. Cheers, Lights 01:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Not done per the above. Please file for usurpation. --Deskana (banana) 01:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Caroyl → JanieBeth
- Current name: Caroyl (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: JanieBeth (rename user)
- Reason: privacy purposes Caroyl 18:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested name was originally listed as "JanieBeth privacy purposes" with no reason. I think we can safely assume that the user does not want the user name "JanieBeth privacy purposes" and the requested username is actually "JanieBeth" and "privacy purposes" is the reason, so I have changed the template to reflect that. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: I'd like the account to confirm this before I do it. Also, it's not exactly clear how "privacy purposes" applies to an account called "Caroyl". It's not your full name. Can you please explain that, too? --Deskana (banana) 08:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Evacca → Eughenes
- Current name: Evacca (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Eughenes (rename user)
- Reason: I'm changing my default username for this kind of sites. Evacca 20:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
BillCJ → CryBaby14
- Current name: BillCJ (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: CryBaby14 (rename user)
- Reason: Renaming username because of continual harrassment by anon IPs using many IP ranges. BillCJ 23:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- See example of harrassment at this. See also User talk:Jimbo Wales#An Open Letter to Jim Wales for the recommendation that I do this, and background as to why. - BillCJ 23:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Forget it! My request was vandalized! If we can't keep this confidential, what use is it! - BillCJ 01:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- With respect, you're complaining that an open website isn't confidental. That's a big contradiction. If you want confidentiality, e-mail me. --Deskana (banana) 12:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
