Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple/Archive2

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These were pending and unconfirmed requests from before the time bureaucrats were able to change usernames. If your request is here and not yet fulfilled, please re-apply using the new process at Wikipedia:Changing username.


  • I made a name change request a long time ago, but received no reply. If fulfilling the request ends up losing my user history, that's fine -- I just want to be sure to get my old name back. I would like my username changed from user:Mr. Treesong to just user:Treesong. The username user:Treesong is my old account, but I couldn't log in to it because I switched email addresses and lost my password. If this can't be done, please give me a reply saying so. To prove that it's really me, I can tell you the two or three old emails that it may have been registered under: wayfarer@siu.edu; treesong@redrival.com or .net; treesong@rawfoods.com. 21:54, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm in the same situation as Renamer/Dissident: asking for a merger of histories. I created a new username after Ed Poor asked, and I now have history under both my old username (I am Jack's username) and my current username (Jeandré). If there are no objections to the acute in my real name, please merge their histories; but deleting the I am Jack's username user page and its talk page before the merge, so as to not overwrite the ones of my current user page and its talk page. Thanks.
  • Please change my user name from from "René Gass" to "René Gaß" in the German Wikipedia, thank you!
    User enquiry pending. — Kate Turner | Talk 09:36, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)
I confirm the request of changing my Username from Urbanus to Thomas Luft on en, de and meta (I did create the new username on all three wikipedias). Do I have to do anything special to keep my sysop status in :de?--Thomas Luft 22:15, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Please change my username from User:Hydrotaphia, which is a typo, to User:Hydriotaphia. Thanks very much indeed.Hydrotaphia 00:21, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Update: I wasn't aware that I had to create the new username myself. I have now done so, and I hereby confirm my request for a username change. Thank you. Hydriotaphia 01:19, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • If possible, could I have my username changed to User:Indophile? I'm afraid I've already registered this username. However, as yet, no edits at all have been made to or from it, as I was reluctant to lose the contribution history of my current username. --Phil R 06:32, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • I signed up twice, by error: Once as JoWi and once as Jowi. Now I wish Jowi to be deleted and the edits I made using user Jowi renamed to JoWi ... but JoWi already exists! :( Anything you can do about this? Thanx, 149.225.216.120 12:38, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Pls. delete user "Laura trippi" -- unexpected initial caps! No attribution changes required. Thanks! --Laura Trippi
  • I signed up not realizing that the initial character of my username User:Jolson would be turned into a capital. It therefore didn't turn out like the computer username I wanted it to. I therefore would like to use User:Jonas Olson instead. It would be a good thing having my contributions transferred to a new account name and I think it would be nice to tidy things up by not leaving the old one around but turning it into User:Jonas Olson. Perhaps someone else want to use the old one too. Thank you.
  • Please change username pgdudda to Yarram. Maintaining identity continuity would be nice, but is not required. Thanks! pgdudda 13:26, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Please change my username from User:ntate_sw to User:eric_sw. Sorry, I didn't think long enough before choosing. Ntate is my chat name, for Wikipedia I'd like to use my real name. Thank you!
    • The account ntate sw does not exist. Please log in before making your request. Angela. 19:36, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd like to request a name username change. The stuart to currentdatentime. Thanks.The_stuart 00:32, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • For capitalization purposes, please change Robballan to RobbAllan. Thx. -- Robballan 4 Jan 2005
  • Please change my user name and all attributions from Noah Peters to 5440orFight. Thank you.
  • I just joined earlier today as User:Funhistory while using another computer and edited the Lachish page; later tonight on my home computer I edited the Hezekiah page before logging in. Please change the editing History on that Hezekiah page to User:Funhistory instead of my home IP address of 12.72.80.243 if possible. Thanks!
  • I created a new username for me (User:Porcher) and would like to know if it's possible to merge the history of my old username (User:Eduardoporcher) with my current one. Thank you and sorry of the inconvenience. Porcher 00:12, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Please change my username from User:Jeff Rosenberg to User:Jeffrey L. Rosenberg; I created that username before I was aware of the opportunity to set a nickname. I don't believe I have actually completed editing any articles (other than this one!) under the original name, so that account can harmlessly be merged into the new one, or even deleted, if that is a possible thing to do. --Jeff Rosenberg 14:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Please merge my account with User:Mr Tan from User:Wikizap. I created a new account at a time when my current account is defective.
  • please change my username "Zhoumg" to "Jack_Zhou". Thanks a lot!


Requests for other wikis

[edit]

Some en: requests also request changes on other wikis. The ones below are only for other wikis, and belong on m:Changing username

  • (German Wikipedia): I made an account with username tinloaf, but then I was a little confused and logged out without giving my email-adress. Unfortunatlely I made a spelling mistake at my password, so I cannot login anymore. I made a second account tinl0af, could you change tinl0af to tinloaf? In your logs you can see that there are logins to both accounts with the same IP. Thanks!
  • Please, change my old account/username on sl.wikipedia.org User:Pagole to my new account Pag, including my old edit history from my old account username User:Pagole to my new account/username Pag. Thanks. --193.77.65.52 22:35, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) --Pag 22:38, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'am sysop on Wikisource, and I have changed my username. I'd like to have my edits under my first account (Wikisource:User:Caton) assigned to Wikisource:User:Marc. For confirmation, see history of this page. Merci. Caton 15:48, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)


Controversial or offensive-name requests

[edit]
  • Please change the username Swastika to Rapunzel. I can't verify this with my other name because I have been told by moderation that I will be IP banned if I log in again under Swastika. If this is necessary for verification, should I e-mail a moderator for a temporary lift of the block? -- Rapunzel 07:42, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I am writing as my IP adress because I have an "offensive username" and am currently blocked. I would like my account StopHillary'08 to be changed to BrenDJ;which I have alredy registered as an account. I have tried following the steps above, but was unable to edit this page. This block has been renued every 24 hours, thus not leaving me a chance to edit uder my old username. Please change this user name ASAP! Thank you.

Requests for account deletion

[edit]

NOTE: Such requests are not accepted; there is no way to delete your account. The best you can do is to blank your user and talk pages, and remove any personal information like your email address from your user preferences. The following requests were mistakenly placed elsewhere on this page.

  • I will be pleased if you can remove my user account Kfl or tell how to do it.
    • Accounts can't be removed. Is there any particular reason you require it? — Kate Turner | Talk 23:33, 2004 Oct 13 (UTC)
  • Please take over all my (User:Riddick) changes by some other user asap, so that I can disassociate from this project; furthermore I would be glad, if you could remove my personal data (like email address). --Riddick 13:43, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)


NEW REQUESTS

[edit]

Please put new requests at the end of this list.

  • I had made a 2nd account Umibôzu on fr: because i didn't want to use my sysop account Ryo. Now i'd like to have my edits under that secondary account assigned to Ryo, if possible :) (i'll live without if impossible, of course ^_-). As I didn't create any Umibôzu account here, here's the confirmation link on fr: [1] Ryo 22:00, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • I changed usernames from 207.99.6.125 to DG a long time ago, but never bothered to file for username change since it really didn't matter to me. But now I have a problem. Arbcom elections won't allow me to vote even though I've been here for a year!! Can you please have edits moved in as soon as possible? Thank you so much. D. G. 10:39, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • And here is confirmation from my old IP, hi 207.99.6.125 10:40, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • I registered late with a User:M7it after contributing for some time from a static IP User:213.255.107.33, now the ArbCom voting software is not allowing me to place a vote. I've already asked to "switch" my former contributions on chattr req page but I am afraid this can lead to my exclusion from voting.

    • confirming: Goulo 04:10, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Also, is it possible to change the eo: wiki's Russ (note that's Russ, not Russw) to Goulo? This page doesn't have an Esperanto version, it seems, so I'm not sure how to change user name in Esperanto wiki. (A major motivation for my changing name is to get the same name in both wikis.)
