Meithal → J.M. Tavernier
- Current name: Meithal (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Tavernier J.M. Tavernier (Tavernier change username)
- Reason: For avoid conflicts with single user (hope i wont need to ask the same thing on all the wikipédia, will I ?) Meithal 11:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Requesting it here only gets you renamed on this wiki, not on the others. It might be better for you to wait until Single Login if you want to merge all of your accounts. Angela . 11:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Au contraire; it would probably speed up the merge process if you've got all your accounts under the same name, with the same email address set in preferences; this allows the first pass to find them and associate them all. 164.11.204.56 08:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

OCCAdmin → OCC01
It was suggested I rename: "Hello! Calling yourself admin is not a good idea as some editors could mistake you for an administrator. You can go to WP:CHU and request a change of username before you are blocked for possible impersonation. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC) I agree. Alternatively, if you really want to keep this username you should put a note on your user page clarifying that you are not a Wikipedia administrator. Wikipedia policy forbids usernames that imply administrative status on Wikipedia. (I'm sure you were unaware of this and didn't intend to mislead anyone.)--Srleffler 02:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)"
Please rename to "OCC01"

Deity_OfBattle → Deity_of_Battle
- Current name: User:Deity_OfBattle (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Deity_of_Battle [2] (change username)
- Reason: I had just signed up for an account today when I realized that the current configuration of the characters may compromise my identity based on other websites I go to; it is also not esthetically pleasing. I would just create another account but the usernames would be too similar, conflicting with "(although names too similar to existing ones are automatically blocked from creation)."
