User:maru

I've been meaning to change my username for a long time; this is shorter and less confusing for people. Plus, I'm just barely below the 20k mark, so it is now or never. -- maru (talk) contribs 05:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Username exists, see Special:Listusers. Is there a second choice? Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 06:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Nope. Incidentally, is that a bug that listuser gives different results for "maru" and "Maru"? -- maru (talk) contribs 06:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC) reply

It's not a bug. Wikimedia software automatically converts the first letter of an article/user name to upper case. =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Ukepedia to Ukulele

could you please change my username Ukepedia to Ukulele (my user name on meta, currently asked for a change on fr, I'm trying to use a single username). Thanks in advance. Ukepedia 03:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Sorry, that username already exists. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 04:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC) reply

ouch, as it has no user page and no contribution, I didn't know it was used yet. Is there a way to check if the account was created recently or never used ? Ukepedia 09:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC) reply

You can check the new user log, Special:Log/newusers, to search for the creation date. That log goes back about six months, I believe. If the account was created before that, it will not appear. If the account has contributions, Interiot's tool will list the create date. If it has no contributions, it is impossible to determine when it was registered. However, it really doesn't matter, as we do not currently allow users to usurp usernames that already exist. If you would like to change your name, you will have to pick a name that does not exist; the instructions at the top of the page explain how to search to see if an account exists.

FLCE - Bronzey

Could you please change my name to plain "Bronzey", I thought it was possible to change usernames once registered, but it seems I can't. I know that this account has few edits but I do plan to do much more in the future. Thanks. Bronzey 04:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC) reply

The name "Bronzey" already exists. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 05:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC) reply
