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)
- Kingtell would be great thanks--Sivarticus 18:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, either one of those is fine. Which one do you prefer? Andre (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

- Link to rename to Kingtell: (rename user) WjBscribe 23:02, 22 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)
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)
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)
Dankwa62759 → NEW
- Current name: Dankwa62759 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: NEW (rename user)
- Reason: I'm requested a change in my user name because I place too much personal information in it. There fore it can't be displayed to others. Please help me out as expeditiously as possible. Dankwa62759 17:20, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Note. What name do you want to be renamed to? WjBscribe 17:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Jörgen Tehor → Jorgen W
- Current name: Jörgen Tehor (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Jorgen W (rename user)
- Reason: My real surname begins with W. Jörgen Tehor 18:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Do you want to keep the umlaut? Secretlondon 23:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- No thank you, the umlaut can be a trouble for incompatible keyboards.--Jörgen Tehor 03:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Bananalp → BananaLP
- Current name: Bananalp (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: BananaLP (rename user)
- Reason: I forgot to use capitals and i think the name (intended to refer to "the banana LP", the nickname for the album "The Velvet Underground & Nico" by the velvet underground) looks like a mere jumble of letters without the capitals. Bananalp 01:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Schmoovyschmoov → Schmoov
- Current name: Schmoovyschmoov (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Schmoov (rename user)
- Reason: I did not put a space between the first and last name and capitalize the last name, as it appears on albums and other web sites. Thanks. Schmoovyschmoov 05:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: You say you forgot the space and capitalisation, but you also indicated you wanted to be renamed to something that doesn't even include "schmoovy". What would you like? --Deskana (banana) 11:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Rachmaninoff123 → Randommelon
- Current name: Rachmaninoff123 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Randommelon (rename user)
- Reason: I don't particularly like my current username. Rachmaninoff123 11:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Clerk 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.

Rasmus Paludan → Law Lord
- Current name: Rasmus Paludan (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
