  • Could you elaborate what you mean? I assume it has something to do with the single unified log-in... - Jéské Couriano ( v^_^v) 07:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC) reply
    • I originally registered with the target name at Commons + simple, where no warning was given about automatic registration across projects. Over here at en&de Wikipedia one also was notified after registering, leaving me with a new account on en&de-wikiprojects. So I hoped it would be somehow possible to move/rename/merge the new account(s?) on en&de.wiki to the name I already used on Commons; as the Commons-account at some time already registered me across projects without me knowing. (P.S.: In case it is important, as I don't know if the en and de accounts are 'the same' or separate: I also asked for a rename on de.wiki.) Winterwater ( talk) 15:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC) reply

 Not done Your username creates a conflict of interest. That you are directly associated with Anal Cunt and Seth Putnam means you should not be editing those articles. Please review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Secondly, no user has anymore authority in editing than another. Because you are associated with the band and the musician gives you no more power, say, or influence on these articles. It is wrong to think that by stating your real identity gives you credence. If you insist on editing said articles, please review Wikipedia:No original research. Edits such as this are considered original research if you cannot provide third party sources.

Your userpage should be about you, as a contributor to Wikipedia, and not about your church. Also, your account should be yours, used only by you (a single person), and not by various people "speaking for" your church. If you think your church is notable enough for an article in Wikipedia, please create the article in the main (article) namespace (see Wikipedia:Namespace for details), and not on your userpage. If you'd like to be renamed to something other than the name of your church -- your name, or your favorite nickname, or a clever handle of some kind -- let me know. — Dan | talk 21:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC) reply

If you want to write about a radio station, it should probably be at Nyota Radio Télévision. You'll notice that link is red because the page doesn't exist yet. The material about the radio station should go there. However, the wording has to be neutral, which you have worked on, with edits such as this, and the article must give evidence as to why this particular radio station is notable.

 Not done - promotional. And I highly advise that you remove your sales and promotional information from your userpage before someone else does.

 Not done I don't feel comfortable renaming you while you still have a topic ban. Please reapply after it has expired. bibliomaniac 1 5 02:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Bureaucrat note: I've decided that my discretion might not have been the best with this, so I'd like another crat to look over this and affirm or overturn my original decision. bibliomaniac 1 5 22:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Not done You made the correct decision, IMHO. If privacy was an issue, maybe this would have some time sensitivity - but Caden's last name is not in the username. I see no reason for this to be delayed until he is free of any topic bans. Kingturtle ( talk) 22:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Fine, I respect your decision. Can I ask at least if the "S" can be dropped from my username? Caden S ( talk) 22:38, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Raiku Lucifer Samiyaza → Raiku

 Not done The name Raiku ( talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has but a few edits, and the edits were over a year ago, it might be usurpable; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle ( talk) 22:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Spankr → MikeyMoose

WTF? -- Spankr ( talk) 00:00, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. Matt ( Talk) 00:08, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
OK, sorry - I forgot usernames were case sensitive and I checked for "mikeymoose"... "MikeyMoose" has no current edits, nor do they have an email associated with the account. How long do I have to be a member before assuming the account? It looks like they had a short career as a one time vandal just over ten months ago and nothing since: | Talk:MikeyMoose -- Spankr ( talk) 00:58, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: I don't believe there is a hard and fast rule as to what makes an account "old enough" (time or edit count) before you can successfully usurp another account. As far as I know it is up to the bureaucrats' discretion. Bureaucrats, please correct me if I am wrong. Useight ( talk) 01:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Not done If your heart is set on that new name, make a request at usurp, as Useight said. There is a chance to usurp it. Kingturtle ( talk) 01:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Your userpage should be about you, as a contributor to Wikipedia, and not about your church. Also, your account should be yours, used only by you (a single person), and not by various people "speaking for" your church. If you think your church is notable enough for an article in Wikipedia, please create the article in the main (article) namespace (see Wikipedia:Namespace for details), and not on your userpage. If you'd like to be renamed to something other than the name of your church -- your name, or your favorite nickname, or a clever handle of some kind -- let me know. — Dan | talk 21:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Not done Sorry, but your username appears promotional. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:08, 27 January 2009 (UTC) reply

887mhz → Nyota

 Clerk note: It's not just that your userpage is being used to promote this radio station, the username you want also promotes that radio station. Please see the policy at WP:IU, regarding promotional usernames listed as a type of inappropriate username. This request also has the added problem that User:Nyota already exists and has edited. Useight ( talk) 22:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note:While the Nyota user name has made edits, it is only one minor edit in 2007, and could potentially be WP:USURPed, but if it is seen as being usurped for promotional purposes, it will be denied.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 22:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Not done As Balloonman has stated, take it to WP:USURP. Kingturtle ( talk) 03:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC) reply

887mhz → N

 Clerk note: Sorry this has been so complicated. First, your page shouldn't be at User:887mhz. That is supposed to be the place where you write something about yourself. If you want to write about a radio station, it should probably be at Nyota Radio Télévision. You'll notice that link is red because the page doesn't exist yet. The material about the radio station should go there. However, the wording has to be neutral, which you have worked on, with edits such as this, and the article must give evidence as to why this particular radio station is notable. If these criteria aren't met, the page could be deleted. Useight ( talk) 23:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Not done Sorry to keep doing this, but User:N is taken. Kingturtle ( talk) 03:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC) reply

 Bureaucrat note: There is a JeanJacques account on the Dutch Wikipedia that has more edits than you do. Is this you? If not, please request a new username... though, as you don't have any real edits to the project (just your userpage, talkpage, and this request), you can just register a new account.

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and while it has no edits, the user requesting it is too new to usurp an account. Requesting user has 1 edit, to this page only. SoxBot VI ( talk) 16:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Bureaucrat note: Where is your home wiki? None of the accounts you listed have any significant edits that I can tell, and none show up in your SUL report (though the servers are out of date, which could be the problem there). We'll also need evidence from your home wiki that "Faisalmurad1" is owned by the same person. EVula // talk // // 17:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC) reply

7eMarketing → Admin7e

 Clerk note: Sorry, but just as the term "marketing" is generally not permitted in a username, neither is the term "admin" as it may imply undue authority on Wikipedia. Selecting a different username would be ideal. Useight ( talk) 02:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Casurr1 → Happy

 Not done The name Happy ( talk · contribs) is already taken. As the account has but a few edits, and from a long time ago, it might be usurpable; to do so, place a request at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Kingturtle ( talk) 02:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: Happy exists on numerous wiki's (eg most if not all), while no SUL exists, it may be that this is either a very popular user name OR that somebody created numerous accounts on the different wiki's before SUL's came into being.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 19:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC) reply

AQu01rius → Alessa

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Although the requested username exists, the user has not made any contributions to Wikipedia. Therefore, you can place a request to usurp the username at WP:USURP. SoxBot VI ( talk) 11:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Bureaucrat note: User:Alessa already exists. Was that your creation? If you want to retire User:AQu01rius into obscurity, we can change it to a generic unused name. Kingturtle ( talk) 12:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Clerk note: Or if you want to keep your account history tied to Alessa, make the request on WP:USURP to have the account usurped by the new account, then log into both accounts and sign the request. (Continue to use the old account to make any edit changes, you don't want to create any GDLF significant edits with the Alessa account... but based upon the fact that the Alessa account is 3 years old, I'm guessing it isn't you. In which case you can place a usurp request to get it.)--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 16:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC) reply

  •  Clerk note: It is not possible to merge accounts, but it may simply be that the request for the accounts to be 'merged' is a mistake, since the latter account does not exist. neuro (talk) 02:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
 Bureaucrat note: Chris, you must be referring to User:L07ChLeo3...But I am still confused by the request. Do you want User:L07ChLeo3 to become User:Chris Leonidou, perhaps? Kingturtle ( talk) 16:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
