Reason: At the time I was very new to Wikipedia, I intended to create the username BANKABLE but, unfortunately, I received a message that BANKABLE is similar to the username 'Bank Able'. At that time, I didn't understand why similarity prevented me from creation of BANKABLE account since both usernames are not identical (they are not exactly the same) and will never cause the system log in to the same user profile. Consequently, I created this THEBANKABLE instead. Recently, I accidentally had a chance to read the user page of 'Bank Able' and my why questions had been answered. It was because the username 'Bank Able' is the sock puppet of the username 'Bank of Wikipedia'. I guarantee that I have no involvement in those usernames (never will and never want to - -"). Please rename my current username to BANKABLE. Not only it incorporates my real nickname BANK, but I always use BANKABLE in many websites to represent my identity in many articles.

Per bullet point 5 under "Notes" section above, requested names are considered "reserved". Therefore, if that point is correct, this request will become a usurpation, technically. I don't recall this ever happening before, so am unaware of precedent on how this will operate. The bureaucrats will need to decide if the account's edits will be disregarded due to the note above. seresin (

Reason: I would like my new user name to say "Hooker_Kitten" because there is a space between the words hooker and kitten. Before, when I signed up long ago, I put both words together as "Hookerkitten" - - If Wikipedia can make this simple change to have my username appear as "Hooker_Kitten" I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, if I have to keep "Hookerkitten" then I'll accept it as well. Naturally, "Hooker_Kitten" would look better if the 2 words were separate. Therefore, when looking up "Hooker Kitten" in the search engine, it makes it easier for people.

If the MediaWiki developers or friends of the developers are watching, in my most humble opinion, the server software ought to place, by default, a caveat next to the username box for creating users.

Per
this comment on my talk page, I learned that the user account was created after this request was filed, most likely by a mischievious person in an attempt to 'steal' the name. I don't know whether something can be done about this [the user has made a grand total of 1 edit]. 'crats... any ideas?

Per bullet point 5 under "Notes" section above, requested names are considered "reserved". Therefore, if that point is correct, this request will become a usurpation, technically. I don't recall this ever happening before, so am unaware of precedent on how this will operate. The bureaucrats will need to decide if the account's edits will be disregarded due to the note above. seresin (

There is precedant (the names were vacated and the rename performed), but in that case the person squatting usernames was doing so in order to be disruptive. Is there any evidence that the user behind the new username is a bad-faith account? -Jéské(

YDone - for the record, I regard the creation of accounts with names already requested here as de facto disruption... WjBscribe 12:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)reply
Reason: The name was originally a joke between me and a friend. Now I am a well established Wikipedian and would like a less "funky" name. Thanks! DarkZorro 00:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)reply

Reason: The reason I want to change my user name is beacuse I don't like the name 'Inferno Sonic' anymore. I'm getting older now and that name just isn't right. I want to keep my Wikipedian account, but using my real name. Don't worry, I do know the risks about using my real name, but that's the only bit of personnal information I'll give away about myself. Thanks for taking your time to read this & I hope you'll agree to change my user name.

Reason: Clerk request. Was
previously at
WP:USURP, but the target name does not exist. Request originally for 'nX2Go', but modified here as technical restrictions would prevent 'nX2Go' from being created anyway. This was explained on the USURP page to the requesting user. {{
lowercase}} can be used on userpage to correct the title.

Reason: I would like my new user name to say "Hooker_Kitten" because there is a space between the words hooker and kitten. Before, when I signed up long ago, I put both words together as "Hookerkitten" - - If Wikipedia can make this simple change to have my username appear as "Hooker_Kitten" I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, if I have to keep "Hookerkitten" then I'll accept it as well. Naturally, "Hooker_Kitten" would look better if the 2 words were separate. Therefore, when looking up "Hooker Kitten" in the search engine, it makes it easier for people.

Reason: Neatness, uniformity and professional look of capitalization. I apologize for not reading the Wiki:Username page or any instructions during creation-- I was new, I wanted to get started right away. If the MediaWiki developers or friends of the developers are watching, in my most humble opinion, the server software ought to place, by default, a caveat next to the username box for creating users. Looking through the requests here, that simple line of text would save you a lot of time in support. Again, I apologize for not reading everything more carefully. Thank you in advance.

Reason: I do not like how my username sounds. And it is not alpha-order. Also, I would like it to soung more like an advertisement with the description first, and the product section. For example, Beautiful.iMac sounds more better than iMac.Beautiful. In my username the word delta in Greek means change and since it is the main topic it is the "product".

Bureaucrat note: I note that you have been blocked in the past. There is a bug that prevents block logs moving during renaming and renames are generally not performed where this will lead to that information being lost. We could block your new name for a brief moment after performing the rename to link back your previous block log, if that is acceptable?

The block was a complete misunderstanding/mistake if you check the details. But that's fine, you can briefly block my new name if necessary. Thanks!
