Blckdmnd99 → -DjD-

 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

  • 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
    • The Right to vanish policy may help. Secretlondon 10:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC) reply
      • Thanks. After reading the policy, since I have fewer than 200,000 edits, I would request my name be changed per the right to vanish policy. If possible, could my user pages and subpages also be deleted? If not, that's fine too. I think this name change coupled with starting an entirely new username should be sufficient. Thanks. Bruin03 16:23, 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

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--VectorPotential Talk 23:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Blckdmnd99 → -DjD-

 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

  • 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
    • The Right to vanish policy may help. Secretlondon 10:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC) reply
      • Thanks. After reading the policy, since I have fewer than 200,000 edits, I would request my name be changed per the right to vanish policy. If possible, could my user pages and subpages also be deleted? If not, that's fine too. I think this name change coupled with starting an entirely new username should be sufficient. Thanks.

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--VectorPotential Talk 23:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC) reply
