I did not 'hijack' it, and those contributions are by me. I attempted to rename my account myself before I found these instructions, thinking it would be the same process as renaming an article. Disregard this request.
Ausref 07:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Reason: I didnt know the username is public, so i would like to change my personal name in the name of my company.

Reason: Privacy concerns. I'd like to have the name changed to something less identifiable since I use it for too many other areas as it is. Thank you.

Not done, account seems to have been created and has an edit. It can be usurped if you created it and can prove that. Andre (

Not done for two reasons. Firstly, you need to confirm from your account that you want the rename to go ahead, but you did it from an IP. Secondly,
Vasiq(
talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log) is already registered, but meets the requirements for usurpation, if you want to list a request at
WP:USURP. --
Deskana(banana) 14:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Oh, and an usurpation request would be declined since you appear to be trying to promote your product. --
Deskana(banana) 16:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Not done, as the target account already exists. It was only registered today, however, presumably by you? --
Deskana(banana) 16:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Reason: name change due to real company name.
CQG Inc., 12:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Not done. Your target username is even more of a policy violation than the first. --
Deskana(banana) 17:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Response: What policy was violated? We were not informed that the username was the name of the article, and if in fact the username Cqgmarcomm is not the title of the article, then would you be of some assistance and tell us how to edit the title of the article. We are writing about the company, CQG Inc. and would like the title of the article to be CQG Inc.
CQG Inc. 18:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)reply
If I may interject here: You have posted article content into user space, as I explained to you on your talk page. You seem to be under the impression that user space is yours to do with as you see fit (see the links on your talk page welcome template) whereas it is subject to similar rules as the mainspace with regard to
ownership except for some additional latitude. And as I have written on my talk page, the content in question is not yet suitable for article space. AdrianM. H. 18:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Not done -- Panoptic already exists. Try a usurpation or a different name. Thank you for wanting to change your previous username. --

Reason: The "kh" is from my Chinese, or actually Hokkien surname. But now I would like to be "Jewish" and "Malayish", so I want to change to a half-Jewish half-Malay/Arab name.

Deskana(banana) 15:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)reply

Reason: I think I'll remember the new name more easily. It is like one I use for other accounts. The original one is like one another family member uses and, on reflection, I think I may she and I may get our names mixed up. Many thanks. .

Reason: I want to have my real first name only, as I don't truly like how it gives my middle and last initials. I didn't think about that when I created this account (I apologize). I am only 11 and feel that might be a lttle dangerous to have those two letters in th username, and I like the Jonathan name better. Thanks for any consideration!

Clerk note: The requested name was originally listed as "JanieBeth privacy purposes" with no reason. I think we can safely assume that the user does not want the user name "JanieBeth privacy purposes" and the requested username is actually "JanieBeth" and "privacy purposes" is the reason, so I have changed the template to reflect that. --

Reason: I signed up more than once and want to combine my two user names using a more typical capitalization scheme and will make a similar request with the other account to show that I have the log-in ability for thaty one, too.
Philipgilman 17:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)reply
Reason: Again, I signed in using different capitalizations, and I really only need the one account with the proper capitalization, so this request is just intended to indicate that I have the login rights under this username, too, and so I recognize that it is improperly constructed in that I list as my current name a different name than the one I am logged in as right now.
