Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Instructions
For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • Add your desired username after NEW=
    • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.


Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

Gary0203 → DisneyChannel101

 Bureaucrat note: Please select a different username. DisneyChannel101 could be interpreted as promotional. Kingturtle (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about DCFan101 ? If it's still not possible, DChannel101. --Gary0203 (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DCFan101 yes. DChannel101 is just as bad as your original requested name. -Jéské (v^_^v Damn spy sappin' mah sentry!) 23:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Use DCFan101 then. --Gary0203 (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: User:DCFan101 is already taken. Kingturtle (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Avengercrunk → Tiny Rascal Gang

Zydllh → Zydllh

 Clerk note: Sorry; all usernames have their first letter capitalized by default due to technical restrictions. -Jéské (v^_^v Trump XXI) 17:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: - To make the first letter appear lowercase add {{lowercase}} to your userpage. Also you may want to customize your signature. Kingturtle (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 21:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Volkovroble → V0lk0vr0ble

 Bureaucrat note: You were renamed just two days ago, and have only made two edits (aside from this request) since then. I dislike seeing WP:CHU being used so liberally; how about you wait and try out your username for a bit first? EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - per EVula, also the new username would be harder for other users who may wish to contact you to type. WjBscribe 22:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bole2 → BUC

 Bureaucrat note: There's already a Buc account; if this is you, just post here with that account and we can rename "Buc" to something else and then "Bole2" to "Buc". EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's just a redirect to my user page. Buc (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Yes, but he wants you to log in as Buc and make a note here saying that it is your account. Useight (talk) 15:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As Useight said, you'll need to log in with the account; it's more than just a redirect, it's that there's an actual Buc account. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an actual account, if you click it you'll find it just redirect to my user page. Buc (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: It is an actual account, its contributions can be found here. The account exists, and is apparently owned by another individual, you just redirected the userpage that the account holder apparently never got around to making. You can see the log of the account's creation here; it was created on January 5th of last year. Useight (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about BUC? Buc (talk) 09:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's too similar. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obama 0wnage → 6qgqqgqgqgqq

 Clerk note: Since you appear to have relatively few edits and the target username is not registered, you may make the new account yourself. Rudget (logs) 15:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: That name is highly confusing and does not meet the username guidelines either, and would likely be blocked at WP:UAA. I suggest re-reading the policy, and picking a different name. --MCB (talk) 22:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - inappropriate username. WjBscribe 22:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

VENU → VENU1963pp

 Clerk note: Username change requests must be made using the account you wish to change. Please log in and make the request again. Useight (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 01:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sampo Sheep → GlenTheGolpher

Presidentboyos → 123fakezz

 Bureaucrat note: please make the request when logged in as User:Presidentboyos. Kingturtle (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LipStixremis → CoulditbethatIfoundausername?

71.236.56.181 (talk) 03:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: All requests are to be made by the account wanting renaming; this request was made by 71.236.56.181 (talk · contribs). Please log in and confirm this request, either here or at the original account's talk page. -Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 04:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Original username does not exist. -Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 04:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 21:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fndfightingblindness → 2CAgain

 Bureaucrat note: Presumably this new account will not be used to make edits on behalf of the organisation your current user name depicts? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Children of God → Child of God

 Not done I'm sorry, but that name is already taken. However, it has no edits, meaning it could be usurped, but as you have no edits to speak of, you might just be better off picking a new name. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Madesimplegroup → Made Simple Group

 Not done The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A.R.E.Outfit4Life → doitforyourtruck400

 Clerk note: User "Doitforyourtruck400" is not registered. Please see WP:CHU instead. ClueBot VI (talk) 16:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: I moved this request from WP:USURP. The original post can be found here. Useight (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arconada → Jan Arkesteijn

 Clerk note: You'll have to delete your global account before you can be renamed.--§ Lights talk 17:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To bad. Forget about it, I will not bother. Regards. Arconada (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Alrighty. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dmsday → Doomsday Clock

 Clerk note: Promotional usernames and role-accounts are blocked on sight. Choose a differemnt name if you want a rename. Further, malformed request fixed.-Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 19:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Do you represent the Doomsday Clock] organization, or is your name a tribute to it? Kingturtle (talk) 13:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jinaventures → Jina ventures

 Not done Promotional account, user blocked. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Royalehomes → Royale homes marketing corp.

 Clerk note:I'd like to suggest you pick another username that does not sound promotional. — MaggotSyn 03:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - inappropriate username. WjBscribe 17:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WCChisholm → Chizzaw

 Clerk note: I reformatted this request. The original post can be found here. — MaggotSyn 12:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: User WCChisholm has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. WCChisholm, will this be ok with you? Kingturtle (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tourgcx → TOUR GCX

 Clerk note: You might want to change your name to something less promotional. We block accounts like these per policy. — MaggotSyn 14:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - inappropriate username. WjBscribe 17:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jsmithers → January

 Clerk note: Apologies in advance as it's not my intention to pile on clerk notes, but doesn't this still qualify for usurpation? I'm not able to check for deleted edits, but currently January has no edits. — MaggotSyn 17:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The name January (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 17:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Houlihansmith → Madison1500

 Done Kingturtle (talk) 05:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JENIKS DESIGN → LAWYER


Eternal Pink → The Lonley One

 Clerk note: This username is available, but just to check, was the misspelling intentional or did you mean User:The Lonely One (which is taken, but usurpable)? Wizardman 01:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did mean The Lonely One my spelling is bad thanks for pointing it out or I might never had noticed XD ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The name The Lonely One (talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has no edits, it can be usurped; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle (talk) 13:45, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Univlora → Vlora12

 Clerk note: Reformatted entry. Original post can be found here. — MaggotSyn 00:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: User Univlora has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Will that be okay? Kingturtle (talk) 05:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Viarnold → Kalemie

 Clerk note: Entry reformatted. Original post can be found here. — MaggotSyn 00:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Kingturtle (talk) 05:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Kingturtle (talk) 05:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nosleep1234 → Nosleep

 Done (I did this at 1:33 AM) Kingturtle (talk) 05:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ashishbhatnagar72 → आशीष भटनागर

This is a continuation of an old request. Please do consider the request at the end , i.e. 11 July one..

 Not done The problem is that you have edited under two account names. Ashishbhatnagar72 & आशीष भटनागर (under SUL). As of date, we bureaucrats cannot merge the contributions of two accounts. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I request you to please ignore my contributions from the User:आशीष भटनागर name, & merge the same account to the User:Ashishbhatnagar72 name. I think there is no problem if I myself request to ignore the contributions of the Hindi named a/c & merge it to the Eng name a/c. Then afterwards, I may or may not try/be allowed for changing the name from Ashishbhatnagar72 to आशीष भटनागर.

& please do not delete my request before final decision.--आशीष भटनागर (talk) 03:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Nichalp has made the final decision here at WP:CHU. You may want to try requesting this as a usurpation. Kingturtle (talk) 13:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
