Jersey City Riot → I Love to Hate You
- Current name: Jersey City Riot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: I Love to Hate You (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: It is a named I have used quite often. I am not a troll. I am not a vandal. It was the initial name I used when I registered for Wikipedia but someone locked it implying that it indicated I had nefarious intent and I have had to use this alternate since. They never offered a real reason and were dismissive when I inquired. The thing is I have that account name registered as my main email (though not my personal email), and quite literally have an issue with it no other places--excepting places that may have a 'real name' policy--so if I cannot use it I would like a personal response rather than impersonal and unhelpful boilerplate.
- I do not see how my username violates any of the provisions on inappropriate usernames: no one should be offended; it is not personal; it is not intended to provoke an emotional reaction; and it shows no clear attempt to disrupt Wikipedia. I do not see how it can bother anyone considering the generic and unremarkable nature of a phrase like "I Love to Hate You". Jersey City Riot (talk) 21:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Renamer note: The requested username definitely seems problematic, as other editors may find it offensive or unsuitable for a project like Wikipedia, and they may drag you to WP:RFCN over it. My suggestion is to just post at RFCN and see what the community thinks about that name first before renaming. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:22, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- After a quick investigation, I came across I love to hate you, which was blocked by JLaTondre back in 2006. (Pinging since you're the blocking admin) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

- 2006 was a long time ago. The RFCN suggestion seems a reasonable approach to see how the community feels these days. -- JLaTondre (talk) 12:22, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

SkynetKami → Rising Rain
- Current name: SkynetKami (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Rising Rain (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
- Datestamp: 09:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Reason: Strictly NON-PROMOTIONAL change to SINGLE-MEMBER, NON-COMMERCIAL artist name. There is NO INTENTION for content promotion. ⠀ (talk) 09:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- @SkynetKami: Looks like you are confused between usernames and article names. Well in order to create article it's not necessary to have username as article name. You can create article with the name you want using article wizard. Also if you looking for a account rename please choose another username since it's the same as the article you are working. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- @1997kB: As stated in the request, the intention is to change my username from SkynetKami to Rising Rain, due to the user page title being set to the name of the the user, which to my knowledge is unalterable. I was not aware that it is against Wikipedia policy to set one's username as the title of one's user page. Regardless, this bears no relevance as any article I create independent of my user page on the intended topic is sure to violate Wikipedia policy and face immediate deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SkynetKami (talk • contribs) 23:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Renamer note: @SkynetKami: Your username may not be promotional per the username policy. Since you are writing about Rising Rain, it is not appropriate to have a username which implies a connection. Please select another username that represents you, personally, and not any bands or singers to which you may be connected. Additionally, I have moved the content from your userpage to a user sandbox page (User:SkynetKami/Rising Rain), where you are free to work on it at your leisure. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
