[change source]

Status:    In progress

Franz710 (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am curious where you requested Global User Name change as I thought it wasn't implemented yet. Do you have a link? I am hesitant to rename you if it is part of a bug....but looking at your account it doesn't look like you were renamed at all. -DJSasso (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's no global renaming yet, I'd know it. No idea what might be meant here, maybe he was renamed on an other wiki and so he thinks the rename is approved. -Barras talk 13:10, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rdagal19 → bcgal19

[change source]

Make sure you go into your preferences and claim your SUL otherwise other people can grab that name on other wikis. -DJSasso (talk) 12:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NoobshitNV → VisionStaff

[change source]

Status:    Not done

VisionStaff (talk) 02:05, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately that wouldn't be a valid name as it indicates that it could be used by more than one staff person for a specific company. We only allow one user per account. -DJSasso (talk) 12:21, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sonusmac → Zingercem

Godsongur → Punjabyouthportal

[change source]

Status:    Not done

Godsongur (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. That is clearly trying to use the name Punjab Youth Portal. Accounts can't represent organizations. -DJSasso (talk) 23:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Ariafar → Sam_Ariafar

[change source]

Status:    Not done

Sam Ariafar (talk) 22:35, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It is not technically possible to include an underscore in your username, because MediaWiki treats spaces and underscores equivalently. Chenzw  Talk  03:07, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Phaneendra M → Political Cricketer

[change source]

Status:    Not done

Phani M talk 16:05, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could I get you to make a comment on your home wiki to show that you control the SUL and wish to have your account renamed. -DJSasso (talk) 12:20, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Change my old username to Political Cricketer Political Cricketer talk 16:43, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Political Cricketer: It is no longer possible for us to rename you because you have created an account (with the new username) on this wiki, and have used that new username to make substantial edits on this wiki. Chenzw  Talk  07:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Chenzw: Can you delete my old one Phaneendra M? PK talk 06:05, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe Wikimedia accounts can be deleted. Can someone with more knowledge confirm this? 50.174.155.12 (talk) 03:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Stewards can delete global accounts in some cases, but that should be posted here. Marking as not done. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 12:20, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beastra → Kumba

[change source]

Status:    Not done

  • Current username: Beastra (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • Target username: Kumba (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (oldnew) | SUL reports: (oldnew) | Userpage logs: (oldnew) | CentralAuth: (oldnew)  (rename user)
  • Datestamp: 09:18, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Reason: I would like to change my user name in order to match with my user names on other accounts. So that people can easier find my works and contributions online.

Beastra (talk) 09:18, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[change source]

Status:    Not done

Fisherarch (talk) 15:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)</nowiki>Code[reply]

Hi, Eric Fisher here. My intern who is working on this for me is wondering, "What does "</nowiki>Code" mean?". I'm wondering what we can do to push the page design process ahead. Thanks so much!

EvillyG00d → User12346

[change source]

Status:    Not done

  • Current username: EvillyG00d (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • Target username: User12346 (talk · contribs · logs · blocklog)
  • For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (oldnew) | SUL reports: (oldnew) | Userpage logs: (oldnew) | CentralAuth: (oldnew)  (rename user)
  • Datestamp: 01:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Reason: I've started my own site and I want it to be the top-hit when people type evillyg00d into search engines. Because Wikipedia is such a huge pageranker, I don't see this ever happening. :P Therefore I must change my name here and Google will eventually update it. Much appreciated if this could be done. :)

ƏviŁŁyGøødcontributions 01:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of proceeding with a rename (and having to get renamed on every other wiki), would you like to try adding __NOINDEX__ to the top of your user/user talk page(s) instead? Chenzw  Talk  11:39, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I can do that. :) Simply add what you typed to the top? No special wiki-code or anything? It's been awhile since I've done anything wiki - I want to make sure I do it correctly. Thanks for your help, ƏviŁŁyGøødcontributions 18:57, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@EvillyG00d: Yes, just adding __NOINDEX__ to the pages would work. If you still plan on being active, you can simply ask for a global rename at m:SRUC. --Glaisher (talk) 13:03, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@EvillyG00d: Are things going well? If so, and you don't need a rename anymore, I will close this request. Chenzw  Talk  07:50, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, although the diff doesn't mention simplewiki, I'm going ahead and doing this since the current username has a SUL, so it's obvious it's the same user... also the target username has 0 edits since it was created in 2011. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 19:08, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
