Prof jerz → Dennis G. Jerz
- Current name: Prof jerz (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Dennis G. Jerz (rename user)
- Reason: More personal and democratic, and thus more fitting for Wikipedia. Dennis G. Jerz 06:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: I see that Dennis G. Jerz (talk · contribs) already exists and has made edits - is that account also yours? We can't merge two accounts contributions, but if you can show that they are both your accounts, we could transfer Prof jerz's edits to Dennis G. Jerz (but its own contributions would need to be assigned to a nominal account). WjBscribe 13:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

- Current name: EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Edmundwoods (rename user)

Thundermaster367 → Thundermaster
- Current name: Thundermaster367 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

- Reason: I wish for my account to be renamed because the 367 on the end of my current name was to avoid making an account with the same name as another.
