More: I want to request such username change all over the Wikimedia System, for what I beg your help.

I have searched its username domain and achieved nothing at all against this pretension. Regards.

Well, the hyphen and the parenthesis are two characters that are on every keyboard and are thus very easy to type. You don't even have to copy and paste them like you must do with other Wikipedians' names such as ones that are Chinese symbols and even an administrator's name with two é's in it. There is also someone who edits with the name
" and another person with the name
!!.
Entryhelp (

Clerk note: Speaking as the admin with the two diacritics as he notes above, I use Firefox's abcTajpu plugin to do diacritics, and I maintain a redirect from the unaccented name to the accented one. Also, some characters that are on every keyboard also end up breaking templates; I don't think the endash or closing ses are amongst them. The requested name *should* be kosher. —Jeremy(

Please confirm that you are wanting to remove "Once" as you make no mention of its removal in your reason for the name change. Also, the "a" is not cap'd in your existing name. Are you sure you want it cap'd in your new name?
Thirdly, this account does have an

Well, the hyphen and the parenthesis are two characters that are on every keyboard and are thus very easy to type. You don't even have to copy and paste them like you must do with other Wikipedians' names such as ones that are Chinese symbols and even an administrator's name with two é's in it. There is also someone who edits with the name
" and another person with the name

Clerk note: Speaking as the admin with the two diacritics as he notes above, I use Firefox's abcTajpu plugin to do diacritics, and I maintain a redirect from the unaccented name to the accented one. Also, some characters that are on every keyboard also end up breaking templates; I don't think the endash or closing ses are amongst them. The requested name *should* be kosher. —Jeremy(

[3] User is asking to have new account renamed so that this one can proceed as a usurp. It would seem the user would like their old edits under the new name. Considering the above confirmation that this is all one user any chance this could be done.

Reason: I've been using Шизомби as my sig for three years; in all that time I only recall two accounts, curiously both recently, ever suggesting a problem with it. (

Wikipedia:Signatures#Non-Latin encourage but don't require a partial Latin name/signature; non-Latin names weren't mentioned when I started doing it (
username policy historical revisionsignatures historical revision. Perhaps I would create a redirect from
User:Schizombie. I'd be happy with
User:Шизомби as as username as submitted here (which is what it is on the German WP and maybe elsewhere) and use Шизомби (Sz) as a sig or even
User:Шизомби (Sz) as a name, so talk page replies could use just Sz to abbreviate if they wished. There was a
User:SZ, but only active for one day on one article five years ago
Special:Contributions/SZ, so that shouldn't foster any confusion. I could create a redirect at
User:Sz too (or are disambigs acceptable for username pages not in use?), if that would help.

Clerk note: clerk I would have to agree with Joe on this one except that the English Wikiquotes account now has more edits than the German Wikipedia account. And as it is confirmed that enwq User:Шизомби is this user's account
[4] i do believe this now qualifies it for greatest claim on the SUL and as such this request should be done. I could then work with the user on the dewp account and having this rename done first would make the usurp on dewp more likely to be ok'd.

Done Please note that renaming your account has detached it from the
unified login. If you wish to reattach any other accounts on any other wikis, you will need to request a username change on each one. You didn't have any edits on any other wikis, however, so this may not be an issue. ···

[7][8] The account is
User:Once Upon a Spiked Birch. I modified the existing account info in the request to reflect as such. The original version can be seen here.
Please confirm that you are wanting to remove "Once" as you make no mention of its removal in your reason for the name change. Also, the "a" is not cap'd in your existing name. Are you sure you want it cap'd in your new name?
Thirdly, this account does have an
SUL. Changing user names here will detached this account from the SUL but not rename your account at Wikimedia Commons, Wikiquote, Meta, et al. A request to change user names would have to be made individually on each project.
