Simple username changes

Shortcuts

This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers.

Instructions

Read Wikipedia:Changing username carefully. You must be aware of and understand all the implications of changing your username. Specifically:
- Your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited, and in all log entries.
- Your user pages, account preferences, and edits will be moved to the new name. Please do not create a new account or attempt to move them yourself.
- Links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be created pointing to your new userpage.
- Understand that using your real name as your username may put you at risk of harassment.
Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
- be inappropriate, profane, or offensive
- contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information
- be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority
- be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people
- contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols
- contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions
Check that your new username is not already in use by searching for it on Special:CentralAuth. If the name is registered, even on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
If the target name hasn't made any edits to any Wikimedia project, you may request usurpation at meta:Steward requests/Username changes.
Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Place your request here.
- Add your desired username after NEW=.
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=. Requests without a valid reason will not be approved.
- Do not change anything else.
Select Publish changes.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any inquiries regarding your request. Consider watching the page so you can monitor updates. Requests may be closed if there are unresolved queries.

Requests that do not follow these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 21:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three issues: First, promotional accounts are explicitly disallowed and are blocked on sight. Second, MediaWiki's interface automatically capitalizes usernames' first letters. Third, the "User" designator on that page means it is a userpage, not an article (articles do not have "<prefix>:" at the beginning of their names). -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 21:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Furthermore, no matter what username you end up with, do not make edits to Wikipedia that promote or even have to do with Rival Marketing. Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for more information on this. Kingturtle (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and while it has no edits, the user requesting it is too new to usurp an account. Old username is currently blocked. SoxBot VI (talk) 05:54, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Personally, I am uneasy changing a name to a character in Nazi Literature in the Americas. Kingturtle (talk) 14:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I suppose. Obviously, the book is a work of satire (and fictional). I'm not trying to be inflammatory, and the book is about the absurdity of characters with Fascist views. If you like, you can read the section on Luz Mendiluce Thompson here (it's quite short, and starts halfway down).Nktpr (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Is there another username you'd like to have? I'm somewhat hesitant to rename to a religious figure's name (though I admit to a certain level of ignorance when it comes to the Hindu faith). EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:56, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is occasionally used as a surname in India, and I assure you it is not offensive. A user search for Ganesh returns almost a thousand hits. Shiva the same. Krishna gets many thousands. Other religions are the same. A search for Allah returns some actually offensive results, by the way. But if I am the exception, I will come up with something else.Mikerbot (talk) 22:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
