My email address was known to certain people who wanted to attack anything and anybody associated with Labour politics locally.

WikiJudge → WikipediaFan98

[edit]
 Clerk note: This request was made after it was pointed out to the user that the term "WikiJudge" is likely to be incompatible with our username policy. It was originally made at WP:CHU/U [2] but I have move it here as the account is not taken. Note that use of "Wikipedia" in usernames has also proved controversial, though in this case the addition of "Fan" may well mitigate this. WjBscribe 17:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blckdmnd99 → -DjD-

[edit]

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use.

Further Note: The name is not just "taken" because you moved your userpage to User:DjD, this account was created in the past and has contributions from back in September. As such, it is my personal opinion (however not based on policy) that you should probably move your userpage and usertalk back to their old locations. This user may decide to return to Wikipedia and it would be an unpleasant shock if they found another user had taken over their user space. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 03:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Thanks for the clarification. The username '-DjD-' appears to be available if i'm reading this right. Can I change to this instead? Thanks again. Blckdmnd99 04:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Template edited accordingly. The new name is a little similar but not taken, and because the account hasn't been used since September 06, there's really no risk of impersonation. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bruin03 → GomiTaroGeorge42

[edit]
  • Current name: Bruin03 (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: GomiTaroGeorge42 (change username)
  • Reason: I changed my initial user name for privacy concerns, but recently I discovered another individual has taken keen interest in everything I do; I have reason to believe I am being stalked and would like to change my name again in order to make it a little more difficult for this individual to track me down and see what I edit and what I don't edit. Alternatively, if any admin or bureaucrat knows a way I can completely disappear off of Wikipedia for my own safety, I would great appreciate any help. Bruin03 05:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you change your username, all contributions to a page will be updated. So if you edited WP:MoS and the person stalking you checks the history, they might know it was you, based on the diffs. The only way to go completely anon would be to choose a new username. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. I was already planning on starting a new username altogether. I just wanted to move this username further out of reach. I don't believe they have figured out the first move, but in the event they do, I'd like this an extra step away (better safe than sorry, esp. since he/she can still see what I've been up to here until recently). Again, thanks. Bruin03 08:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Done and redirect and talk page (and talk page archive) deleted. Secretlondon 17:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would it also be possible to have the same (deletion of redirect, talk page, and talk page archive) done for my original username: NoRCaLD503? If you check the history, it would show a link to this new name. I'd like my disappearance as complete as possible. I appreciate all of your help! GomiTaroGeorge42 18:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's no redirect but I did discover that was your original username when I was looking at your account earlier (so I accept that you can speak for that account). I can delete the blanked talk and user pages though. Secretlondon 18:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Current name: VectorP (talk • contribs)
  • Requested name: Vector Potential (change username)
  • Reason: I used to be VectorPotential (talk · contribs), have no idea what the password for that account is, came back after a number of months of editing as an anon, and the software doesn't allow me to pick Vector Potential because it's too close to my old name, so I picked VectorP, but I'd rather be Vector Potential. I considered requesting a usurption of my old username, but this should work just as well. I assume if the request is granted someone can migrate all my usersubpages, monobook etc for me? -- VectorPotentialTalk 22:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Did you set an email address for the old account? We can't usurp it (according to the procedure) as it has edits, and we can't merge accounts - sorry. Secretlondon 22:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I never got around to setting an email, so I'm afraid that password is gone forever--VectorPotentialTalk 23:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We could have moved the old account to something random and the new account to your old name *IF* you could prove that the old account was you. That's kind of a self-usurption and is non-standard.. I hope you've set an email for the new account!Secretlondon 23:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing I can think of that would prove that I'm the same person, is that I wrote some unbelievably dense datemath for {{Reference desk navigation}}/{{Archive header}} as VectorPotential, and that I might be the only person on wikipedia who can actually read it (: Either that or I could get a number of people on the reference desk to vouch for me (: It's not really all that important, though, so I'll probably just stick with Vector_Potential--VectorPotentialTalk 23:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
