Wiktionary:Changing username/Archive 2015

User:Akshay Das XXX → User:Akshay Das UTW
Hi,

The word 'XXX' might be a word which could insult me.

I want to replace it with 'UTW' stating the phrase 'Unite The World'.

Kindly change my name as soon as possible.

User:George-Sargeant → User:Dizzyz956
Please can I have my username changed


 * I can’t change it if it doesn’t exist. I can find no evidence that User:George-Sargeant is a registered name anywhere on Wikimedia. —Stephen (Talk) 04:30, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

User:SVacations → User:Sebastian at Sundance Vacations
Hey there! I was hoping to have my username changed because of an issue I was unaware of. I want to make sure I am in accordance with the policies and procedures of Wikipedia! For that reason I am requesting this change so that everyone knows who I am as opposed to a vague name / possible multiple user account. Thank you.


 * Done. —Stephen (Talk) 21:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

User:sarahvega → User:ss1011
I'd like to change my username. I didn't realize my username would be public when making edits on a page. My username is my personal name which I'd rather not be made public for privacy reasons.

New username desired: ss1011

Thank you in advance.


 * I get an error message when I try to rename you to that new name: The chosen username is too similar to existing usernames: User:S&S1011, User:Ss1011. Can you choose a less common name? —Stephen (Talk) 23:19, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

Can we try User:Rsracer


 * User:Rsracer done. —Stephen (Talk) 00:49, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you.

There is an edit history that still has my old name (sarahvega) visible. Is there any way that can be removed? I'll provide the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Racer_%28magazine%29&action=history


 * An admin can hide that, but I am not an admin on English Wikipedia. You would have to ask an admin there to do it for you. —Stephen (Talk) 11:32, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Do you know how or where I can speak to an admin on English wikipedia? Thank you in advance


 * Try the w:Wikipedia:Help desk. Somebody will be able to help you there or will point you in the right direction. —Stephen (Talk) 22:46, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

User:rijovellani → User:rijo vellani
I'd like to change my username. I didn't realize my username would be public when making edits on a page. My username is my personal name which I'd rather not be made public for privacy reasons.

New username desired: rijo vellani

Thank you in advance.


 * Just to make certain, are you sure that you want to have the username Rijo vellani? You said that you had rather not have your name be made public. Rijo vellani is even more public than Rijovellani. —Stephen (Talk) 13:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, you have never made any edits here. Are you planning to, in future? SemperBlotto (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2015 (UTC)


 * SemperBlotto, changing the username is not like it used to be. It used to be the case that a namechange was for the local wiki only. It’s different now. Changing the username is a global action, so it changes for all wikis. —Stephen (Talk) 13:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
