 * Back to archive index

=== Dottydotdot → Tristan Thomas ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: To real name please. Thanks!     Dotty••   07:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: Since Dottydotdot is a single user login username, if I rename you, your wikinews account will become separated from your other wikimedia accounts. Are you sure you want to be renamed? Bawolff ☺☻ 09:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's fine, thanks!    Dotty••   18:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Bawolff ☺☻ 18:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

=== Mgray → M.Gray ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Cohesive with my enwiki username. Mgray (talk) 02:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just double checking to make sure that you really are w:user:M.Gray on 'pedia. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

ImpactForce → IForce

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I recently just changed my name at en.wiki ImpactForce (talk) 16:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you link to a diff of a comment on en.wp confirming this? --Brian McNeil / talk 16:41, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Link is here! http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews%3AChanging_username&diff=853437&oldid=846655 ImpactForce (talk) 04:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me clarify: we need a diff link to an edit by you at the English Wikipedia saying you are the same user there as at Wikinews, and you want your account here account to be renamed. A link to a diff at this wiki can't confirm anything, sorry. Tempodivalse [talk]  13:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * here again http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AIForce&diff=311141059&oldid=310210351 ImpactForce (talk) 20:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 20:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Wolf m corcoran → Wolfcm

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Aesthetic/name format is better Wolf m corcoran (talk) 13:59, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Sken   my talk 14:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

=== Marsa Lahminal → Samar ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Want to rename all my accounts under Samar. See here. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 21:07, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't do the rename, as an account under the name of "" already exists. Does it belong to you? If not, i can rename the old account out of the way and move your account to that name. Tempodivalse [talk]  21:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind. The current user:Samar was created way back in 2005, and has never edited or logged any action, it's safe to say this clearly isn't yours since you only signed up with WMF projects in mid-2006. As such, I'm renaming the old user out of the way and marking this as ✅ Tempodivalse [talk]  23:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Samar (talk) 09:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

G.phanisrinivas → Srinivas

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I would like to rename my account to Srinivas as I want to be Srinivas everywhere. My proof of evidence that I am Srinivas on en.wiki, simple.wiki and commons are the following links, and  respectively. The target username i.e. Srinivas exists but he has no useful contributions. His contributions are 0 (Verify) and the account was created somewhere in 2005. (Verify) I think that renaming is possible. G.phanisrinivas (talk) 08:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Tempodivalse [talk]  12:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Zainichi Gaikokujin → Saqib Qayyum

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: That's my real name so I would like to go with it. Zainichi Gaikokujin [talk]  11:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * already exists and has made several edits, is this your account? Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  12:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not several edits but just one. --110.37.29.145 (talk) 12:50, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, there were a few more edits in the user's deleted contibs. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  12:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This account belongs to me. <font face="Georgia">Zainichi Gaikokujin <font face="Georgia">[talk]  12:45, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Old account moved out of the way, marking as ✅ <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  12:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Mjquin_id → Mjquinn_id

 * Reason: Changing unified login on all wikis. Mjquin id (talk) 05:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  13:05, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Saqib Qayyum → S Q

 * Reason: Trying to have Unified login on some wikis. Current username is a bit long. I wanna short it. If possible <font style="color:#0000FF">Saqib Qayyum  <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#0000fa;"> talk 09:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a bit unusual to change your username so frequently, but there's technically nothing wrong with the rename, so marking this as ✅. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  16:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Tilmandralle → Ellard38

 * Reason: More privacy. And please delete my old user page and discussion page after renaming. Thank you! Tilmandralle (talk) 16:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  16:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your fast help! Ellard38 (talk) 16:21, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Ali Rana → Rana

 * Reason: Prefer one name Ali Rana (talk) 03:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 13:25, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Flamevox → Visible Light

 * Reason: The decision of username changing Visible Light (talk) 13:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you the same person as w:ru:User:Visible Light? Bawolff ☺☻ 13:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes.Visible Light (talk) 13:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  14:04, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Juleshs31 → JulesMattsson

 * Reason: Easier intergration with other services, helps build set of search results relating to photography when searching my name, which helps me in folio building and pro work. Juleshs31 (talk) 14:53, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If I rename you, then your login for this wiki and other WMF wikis will no longer be "unified", i.e. you'll have to log in here separately from other projects because the username is different. Is that ok with you? If so, I'll rename you. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  15:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah sure that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Is there any way of unifying them with a different username of Wikinews than on other WMF wikis but login as one logs in as both? If not no matter. Thanks, --Juleshs31 (talk) 15:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Alas, no. There are no features in MediaWiki that support multiple pseudonyms. You can maintain the accounts separately, but should declare so clearly to avoid any appearance of operating sockpuppets. I'll do the rename now; what I did when I went from brianmc -> Brian McNeil was request separate renames on a few other projects and run a reunify on the new name. Left me with some orphan brianmcs places like Thai Wikinews. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 15:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, well I may just do that, as I don't really contribute to other WMF projects much, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to request renames on all of them and eventualy reunify, when I get around to it... :P Thanks, --Juleshs31 (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * YOU'VE RELOGGED IN UNDER YOUR OLD USERNAME! You need to log out, and log in with the new username! --Brian McNeil / talk 15:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Pmlinediter → Pmlineditor

 * Reason: Unify SUL. <font style="color:Blue">Pmlineditor    <font style="color:#50C878">∞    11:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  14:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Oneiros → Oneiros

 * Reason: I want to usurp the account for my global SUL 91.1.102.162 (talk) 20:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see any problem with this &mdash; if you can prove you own both accounts. Please provide a link to a signed, logged-in, diff on your home wiki (enwiki), and same for the account here. I will then be happy to rename the unlinked account to 'Oneiros-old and you can sort out the SUL. If you don't have the ability to log in to the account, then it'll be up for wider community discussion and scruitiny. --Brian McNeil / talk 02:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's the link to the section on my home wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Oneiros#SUL . Sorry, I don't own the Oneiros on this wiki. But that account hasn't been used for more than four years.--91.1.105.68 (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


 * ❌ I'm sorry, while the user hasn't been around for a long time, they've made good-faith contributions. They've not set and confirmed an email address, I have no way to see if they wish to keep the name or have a preferred change. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Iceflow → BarkingFish
BarkingFish (talk) 23:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC) Iceflow (talk) 23:40, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Reason: SUL Unification, across all WMF projects. Renamed at home wiki (en.wp), this is to go in accordance with my Home Wiki.
 * Link to confirmatory edit: here
 * Please note:' The username BarkingFish does exist here, but has no edits or actions on this Wiki, the request therefore is that the username be changed and User:BarkingFish be usurped. Thanks!
 * ✅ some time ago. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  00:57, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Treelo → Baa

 * Reason: Good ol' SUL merging with a new name after my recent (or upcoming) usurp at home wiki (en.wiki) identifying diff Treelo (talk) 05:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This page hasn't been touched since I requested this usurptation? Odd, you'd figure someone would have come by and dealt with me and Iceflow (now BarkingFish) by now. I'll get in contact with a crat then. Treelo (talk) 00:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, BarkingFish's request was completed, someone just forgot to mark it as done. Regarding your request: the account already exists, but I usurped it, as it's never logged any actions here, and was created so long ago that the creation logs don't even list it - i think it's safe. So, ✅. Sorry for the long wait. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse  <font face="Georgia">[talk]  01:06, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

JulieSpaulding → Arctic Night

 * Reason: SUL merging. For confirmation at home wiki see . JulieSpaulding (talk)
 * ✅. Please makes sure you're logged out of the JulieSpaulding account on enwn and don't accidentally recreate it by being logged in on your SUL account and coming here from elsewhere. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:19, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The New Mikemoral → Mikemoral

 * Reason: Dropping off two of the words. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  05:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 06:01, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

-Zeus- → Zeus

 * Reason: SUL with enwiki -Zeus- (talk) 05:16, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You need to verify you own the account on enwiki. (making an edit to your talk page on wikipedia with user:Zeus saying you authorize this, and linking to the diff is sufficient to verify you own it). Bawolff ☺☻ 05:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's the diff from wikibooks, but I already got renamed it looks like. Thanks Zeus (talk) 15:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I see what happened, it seems that my wikipedia cookie got used over here as a new account. As I didn't have any major edits, I will rescind proposal and just use this account. Zeus (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Saki88 → Saki

 * Reason: I am Saki on English Wikipedia would like to usurp the unactive Saki here. Saki88 (talk) 11:34, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Confirmation request sent to the user at en.wikipedia; waiting for response there. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  13:54, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ per this confirmation edit. The other Saki account is quite old and never edited, should be safe methinks. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  14:16, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Orango → Oxygeek

 * Reason: New Username <font face="Arial" size="3" style="color:#f57900;">Orango speak! 22:39, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * There's already an Oxygeek on English Wikipedia; I'm assuming this is yours. Can you make an edit with that account on the enwp talk page for that user confirming you own the account and want this rename put through? Thanks! --Brian McNeil / talk 23:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * ❌ for now since this confirmation doesn't seem to have been made. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  16:17, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

MisterWiki → Diego Grez

 * Reason: MisterWiki is odd. Diego Grez let's talk 01:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * This will cause your account here to be detached from accounts on other wikis; is that ok with you (unless you're requesting this username change globally)? <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  01:38, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I want to rename globally. And yes, it's okay. --Diego Grez let's talk 01:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, then ✅. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  01:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Singlish speaker → Sonia

 * Reason: Usurpation to re-unify SUL. See this recent rename on enWP and simpleWP's. Singlish speaker (talk) 06:12, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅, this should be ok as the other user existed for three years and hadn't made a single edit, ever. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  15:20, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Brevity → Brevity (usurped)

 * Reason: me, Brevity on en:w and de:w (and meta) would like to usurp the unactive Brevity here -- on meta already done. Cheers 87.172.232.52 (talk) 09:10, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * , the other Brevity has made two edits to the wiki; although the account hasn't edited in five years, I'm always a bit uncomfortable with usurping users with contributions - especially considering this user has been active on Wikipedia up to a year ago. I don't have much experience handling usurps like this, so I'll ask the opinions of some other bureaucrats first ... <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  15:29, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * fair enough ;) thanks for your consideration. i'm just hoping for a sul ... --(de,en,meta):Brevity
 * Usurp notice posted at User talk:Brevity. Now we just have to wait for a few days ... <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  18:42, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping! en:Brevity 17:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I would've emailed the user, but they never set an email address on the account (or never confirmed it). Likely will be fine and Tempo or I can rename it out the way for you to do an SUL in a couple of days. Two edits isn't something to really worry about. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:07, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Also thanks for helping! en:Brevity 18:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ after over a week with no reply from the old Brevity; email not enabled either. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  13:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What can I say -- thanks a lot! --Brevity (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

B-101 → JustPhil

 * Reason: I was on Wikinews for a short time and since then I've become JustPhil on Wikipedia. I was hoping you can transfer my old edits to my new account. If not, I think I can live with it.
 * Please make an edit on wikipedia (to your userpage or somewhere like that) saying you are B-101 on wikinews and are requesting a rename. Then please link the diff down here. We need this to verify you really own JustPhil on 'pedia. Bawolff ☺☻ 15:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I just added it to the top of my userpage on Wikipedia. Wikipedia:User:JustPhil.- JustPhil (talk) 14:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Bawolff ☺☻ 14:21, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

William Saturn → William S. Saturn

 * Reason: I would prefer that my wikipedia account Wikipedia:User:William S. Saturn be global rather than my alternate account Wikipedia:User:William Saturn (current global) for ease of access.
 * Evidence: As you can see from my wikipedia userpage, I am the same person. Also note this conversation--William Saturn (talk) 22:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Bawolff ☺☻ 22:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Drini → Magister Mathematicae

 * Reason: I'm renaming my account globally due to some offwiki issues. I'm moving the usernames wiki by wiki.
 * Evidence: A couple of already done renames: and   Drini (talk) 00:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Bawolff ☺☻ 00:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

→ Lou

 * Current name: Lou (on elwiktionary)
 * Requested name: (SUL reports: old &amp; new) ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: SUL Usurpation, see request -- Quentinv57 (talk) 00:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Declined. Malformed request, Lou has a mainspace edit too. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:16, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Rambo → Rambo (usurped)

 * Reason: I obtain Rambo and a few others as an alt account (gory details) and am looking to complete the SUL. Therefore I wish to move the other Rambo account to allow me to create Rambo as my own account. I hope this is the right way about going about things. Target username in question has no visible contributions, and is listed by the SUL tool as having one (possibly deleted?) so I don't believe this request is controversial. Rambo&#39;s Revenge (talk) 16:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Would you like your current account renamed into place for a 'neat' unification? --Brian McNeil / talk 11:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No thanks, I've now got this account. This was all I needed you to do. Thanks again, Rambo (talk) 13:43, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Good. Doing the project housekeeping helped take my mind off other duh-rahmahz. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:54, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Buddpaul → Bddpaux

 * Reason: My current user name is too similar to my real name.....privacy concerns....and I actually want a Wikinews name somewhat different from my Wikipedia name.....thanks. I do want my old contributions merged over to my new name. Buddpaul (talk) 00:10, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * .....this has been done already......please disregard.......thanks to Brian.Bddpaux (talk) 13:07, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Newsperson → Gold2010

 * Reason: May Contain Viewpoint (I don't know why, however I will change) of Liberal or Conservative etc. Admin will block if I don't change --Newsperson (talk) 22:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC) (Currently Newsperson)

El Muñeco Shakes It Up, Baby → Diego Grez

 * Reason: The privacy concern I had is over, after some kind of "agreement" with the person who was stalking. I'm sorry if this rename does disturb you, dear Bureaucrats. =D Diego Grez return fire 02:40, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Reason: Am renaming my SUL across all wikis. en.wiki rename request Errant (talk) 10:29, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Bump :) (unfortunately I set up SUL without realising the rename hadn't gone through here... so now it is more of an usurping of this name, I'd really like to associate my prior editing history here with this account) --ErrantX (talk) 10:25, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
