General rename requests

Alliancefrancaisedesd → Alliance Française de San Diego

Status:    Not done

Alliancefrancaisedesd (talk) 00:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

  Not done - Sorry, but the username is not really a good idea. We usually do not support usernames that include company names and so on. -Barras (talk) 19:53, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

SuperiorCageCombat → DonnaS2011

Status:    Not done

  • Current username: SuperiorCageCombat (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • Target username: DonnaS2011 (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (oldnew) | SUL reports: (oldnew) | Userpage logs: (oldnew) | CentralAuth: (oldnew)  (rename user)
  • Datestamp: 13:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: The policy was not read carefully enough, so the previous user name was a name of an organization. DonnaS2011 is also easier to remember since it my real name, and the same username I use everywhere. Thank you

SuperiorCageCombat (talk) 13:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

  Not done - THis request is your very only edit to this project and a rename would only affect this wiki and not the (normal) English Wikipedia. If needed, then please just create a new account. -Barras (talk) 20:01, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry. I do have an additional question. Do you require this name change on this project for SUL unification to the other projects? Jon@talk:~$ 22:50, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Since the requested account name does not exist anywhere, I think this wording refers more to the internet in general. The request does not look like it is SUL-related, that's why I declined it. -Barras (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

08murtaghkc → Lord-Kane-1st

Status:    Done

  • Current username: 08murtaghkc (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • Target username: Lord-Kane-1st (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (oldnew) | SUL reports: (oldnew) | Userpage logs: (oldnew) | CentralAuth: (oldnew)  (rename user)
  • Datestamp: 16:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: I have many reason for this change, first of is is that this is my new alias on the Internet; which makes me noticeable (people recognise my name) and makes it easier to log in (one username for anything). Also, I was know for vandalism before I was unblocked yesterday; so I would like a clean slate, thank you 08murtaghkc (talk) 16:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

08murtaghkc (talk) 16:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Datestamp: 02:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: This proposed username is my real name. However, I am currently blocked indefinitely from editing English Wikipedia. Is it possible to change under these circumstances?

Gh87 (talk) 02:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

It is possible to rename you, but if you appear with that new name on the English Wikipedia, you'd be blocked for block evasion/socking. Also, the new requested account name is already registered and has a SUL. -Barras (talk) 20:10, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Exxon → Orashmatash

Status:    Done

  • Current username: Exxon (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)

  • For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (oldnew) | SUL reports: (oldnew) | Userpage logs: (oldnew) | CentralAuth: (oldnew)  (rename user)
  • Datestamp: 18:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: Well, after being renamed to Exxon earlier today, it was my horror to discover thay Exxon is actually a company (see here and here). Therefore, I am requesting to be renamed back to Orashmatash. I apologise for the problems that this will probably cause.

Exxon 18:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Did you create a new account under Orashmatash as there is now another account there. Might have been auto created by SUL. But I will need you to log into it and indicate that you wish to be renamed so this one can usurp the new one. -DJSasso (talk) 17:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
No, I didn't create a new one. What wiki are you talking about? I'll log in. Exxon 17:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

  Done -DJSasso (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Dj. Feels good to be able to edit as myself again. I apologise again for that, it's just that we don't have Exxon or ExxonMobil in Scotland, so I had absolutely no idea it was a company before PiRSquared17 brought it to my attention. Thanks again! Orashmatash 18:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

  • Datestamp: 11:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: My current username is too long and complicated for me. It also makes me sound Japanese or Chinese or whatever, which I'm not. Just a username to feel comfortable with.

Orashmatash 11:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

User renamed, but detached from the global user; other renames need to be on other wiki's where you are active. --Eptalon (talk) 12:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Eptalon! I'm not active anywhere else, really. I may be able to usurp the name on EN if it's not made any major edits. Either way, thanks! Exxon 12:07, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

  • Datestamp: 21:30, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: I wish to avoid any perceived "conflict of interest." A new user name would allow me to post as myself, unaffiliated with the Congressional Award or its employees, so that others could verify information to be accurate. I realize this account has only been active a short time; please make an exception to my case. There are blatant errors in some pages that I wish to correct before they do damage or cause legal confusion.

  • Datestamp: 16:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Reason: Current username won't allow me to register on any of the other Wikipedia sites due to the username already being in use of the French Wikipedia before I registered here. So it would be good to get a rename so that I can use my account on all of the sites.

Laika (talk) 16:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I would personally recommend choosing a different name. Now you certainly can be renamed to it, but it might save a lot of confusion for yourself and others if you were to choose something else. -DJSasso (talk) 13:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Status:    Done

Genelisp (talk) 11:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

  Done -DJSasso (talk) 18:15, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps I have misunderstood how Wikipedia works, but I can still log in with 'Genelisp'. If I try to log in with 'Ztongas', it tells me the user does not exist. Is this normal? Genelisp (talk) 19:16, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
You should be able to log into the new one. As for the old one, you recreated the account by logging into it again probably by doing so on en.wiki first so it auto created the account when you came over to this wiki again. Saying that I should ask you are aware there are two english wikipedias right? English and Simple English. You didn't actually have any edits on this one until you asked for the name change. -DJSasso (talk) 23:26, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I have indeed made a mistake by editing the Simple English page instead of the English page. I am still not sure why that matters though – I made 'Genelisp' a unified account, so I would have expected all changes to occur across all Wikipedias. I tried to log in with 'Ztongas' on the English Wikipedia and it does not work (but it does on the Simple English one). I suppose I will have to go and ask on the English Wikipedia CHU page. Once again, sorry for the confusion and wasting your time.
So, I logged in with 'Ztongas' and I discovered it was not unified. I made it a unified account and now I can log in on the English Wikipedia with it too. One last thing though, I was expecting that all of the contributions made under the username 'Genelisp' would now be attributed to the username 'Ztongas', but that is actually not the case. Is that correct behaviour? — This unsigned comment was added by Ztongas (talk • changes).
Being renamed on Simple Wikipedia does not rename you on the English Wikipedia. You have to go there and request a rename on English Wikipedia as well. The reason your Genelisp edits aren't showing up under Ztongas on English Wikipedia is because you have not been renamed there. Renaming affects only one project. It does not "globally" rename you on every Wikipedia. Either way (talk) 13:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
