- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Trying to get a universal username on wikimedia. Also Osteomyoamare is hard to remember. Sorry about adding the <nowiki> tags; it wouldn't work otherwise. Osteomyoamare (talk) 11:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot (talk) 11:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- As you can see, usernames with = signs at the front or back are problematic for a number of reasons - not the least of which is that equals signs are used to make section headers. –xenotalk 15:34, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- I concur that this name would result in very confusing linking and discussion formatting and I am not sure it should be granted. MBisanz talk 00:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- Not done Please choose a different name. Your current name will not work well considering formatting and linking issues. bibliomaniac15 00:52, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

Camaron2 → CT Cooper (alternate account)
- Current name: Camaron2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: CT Cooper (alternate account) (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
- Reason: Just one last re-name request from me; I could do with my alternate account re-named as for obvious reasons it is no longer appropriate. This account is occasionally used by me when I can't use my main account, and unlike the re-name of my main account, the edit count should be low enough to avoid any problems. Thanks again in advance. Camaron2 · Christopher · talk 18:01, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
