Meithal → Tavernier
- Current name: Meithal (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Tavernier (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: For the SUL i would like resolve the conflict betwenn my different usernames. There is already a Tavernier here [1] but I am sysop with nick fr:User:Tavernier on wp:fr, wb:fr, etc. I certify that i was Meithal then J.M. Tavernier, then Tavernier. See logs [2], [3]. Kind regards. Meithal (talk) 13:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: ANY edits in mainspace makes a target username ineligible for usurpation. Sorry. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 19:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Isn't it possible to rename the Tavernier here to something like Tavernier* ? Meithal (talk) 17:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: - The name Tavernier (talk · contribs) is already taken, but has very few edits and no edits since 28 October 2006. Consider taking it to Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 03:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

CURRENT → NEW
- Current name: Ernestvincent (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: NEW (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: Reason for requested renaming. Ernestvincent (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: What do you want to be renamed to? -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 22:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Non-clerk note: User has also posted to usurpations where they signed as "Ernest Vincent", if I had to guess I'd say that's what they want to be renamed to. However, their only contribution thus far has been to create a resume in their userspace, so they may not meet criteria for a rename. Probably easier for them to just create a new account. --VectorPotentialTalk 23:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Given the recent rename of Frank Nuttall, a resume in userspace is ample reason to change a username. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 00:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware of that precedent.--VectorPotentialTalk 14:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's rather recent, and his userpage looks like this. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 18:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Twenty Years → Five Years
- Current name: Twenty Years (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Five Years (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: Twenty has 6 characters, compared with Five, which is 4 characters. It will mean that i use less space when i sign on talk pages, and make talk page revisions smaller. Apart from that minor detail, i think its time. Twenty Years 08:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Your sig isn't the largest I've seen - hell, look at mine! -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 17:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- It will make a small difference to wikipedia. Its also the correct title of one of my favourite songs, although both names are of songs. Thanks. Twenty Years 18:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: I note that you have been blocked in the past. There is a bug that prevents block logs moving during renaming and renames are generally not performed where this will result in that information being lost. I could block your new name for 1 second after performing the rename to link back your previous block log, is that acceptable? WjBscribe 01:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, thats ok by me. Thanks. Twenty Years 04:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. WjBscribe 19:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
