Clerk note: Actually, this user really did type it in uppercase in both fields (the rename user link in the template doesn't do case normalization). Please clarify what you wish to be renamed to. —Random832 08:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
PReynolds-Wiki → Digi-cs
- Current name: PReynolds-Wiki (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Digi-cs (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: Misunderstood and thought that Digi-cs was blocked becuase of the content I had submitted. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I then created andother name and left a note that Digi-cs had been replaced by PReynolds-Digi-Sign. I've now been told that using a corporate name is not allowed/advised, so I've changed again toe simply PReynolds-Wiki. Please excuse my wasting your time like this. I have learnt my lesson. PReynolds-Wiki (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: It doesn't seem like you need the names of any accounts changing, just that you are now going to edit using this account "PReynolds-Wiki" - is that right? WjBscribe 19:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

YouWiki → ☯µWiki☯
- Current name: YouWiki (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: ☯µWiki☯ (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: My intention for this username was to parodize utorrent with wikipedia but I found out someone else took that name when it was created. My signature on most article discussions are uwiki so i might as well change my username to uwiki. ☯µWiki☯ Talk / Contributions (YouWiki) 15:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: UWiki and ΜWiki (mu, though with m is also not taken) are not taken - Uwiki is taken but not active since November 2006 - Mwiki has no contributions, Μwiki is not taken. Any particular reason for the ☯ symbols?—Random832 22:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: I think that the symbols are there because UWiki is taken Alexfusco5 23:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Is there a problem with writing those symbols? (for example cannot support unicode?). --☯µWiki☯ Talk / Contributions (YouWiki) 00:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: I don't know for sure but I would assume that it is not a problem Alexfusco5 00:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Unless there's a strong reason to use those characters, I'd advise against it since it's not possible for most people to type these, which makes it harder to contact you on the wiki. Angela. 07:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: A redirect can be made from YouWiki, and I see they have done this already with their user page, haven't checked the user talk though. -- Ryan Taylor 08:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

- Requested name: Terra (other projects?) (rename user)

- Current name: Dust Rider (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Sand Rider (other projects?) (rename user)

- Current name: Aburesz (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Arion 3x3 (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: When I first registered 15 months ago, I thought that the username I was providing was to be private and used only to log in. I had planned to use "Arion" as the name that would show up when posting or editing. When I found out that this was not the case, I went to "my preferences" and chose a "Signature" preference. However, with my userpage and my edits showing "Aburesz" and my posts showing "Arion 3x3", this has led some to question why this is so (as recently as today).
