Current requests
L'oeuf → L'œuf
- Current name: L'oeuf (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: L'œuf (rename user)
- Reason: My present nick is actually misspelled ; I would like it to fit with the french orthograph… L'oeuf 00:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I *AM* french, and it is *actually* difficult for users to contact me due to the misspelling of the word "œuf" ("egg") !L'oeuf 01:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I can't see how it's difficult now. At present, I can type your username. It wouldn't be possible for me to type it were I to perform this rename. --Deskana (banana) 10:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, don't think I'm being aggressive here, but maybe you can't see how difficult it is right now because you're not open-minded enough and too focused on your mother tongue AND non-canadian english keyboard layout. It is common sense that any french speaker to whom I would tell my username is "L'oeuf" will write it according to the french orthograph, that is to say "L'œuf", which is far easier to type on a non british nor american keyboard layout, for instance the french, the canadian, or the swiss ones! Nevertheless, it *is* probably also simple on your personal layout: On most linux distros you just have to alt gr + o or such… L'oeuf 22:31, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- As a possible compromise, I doubt there'd be any objection to you redirecting the pages User:L'œuf and User talk:L'œuf to your userspace, which would make sure people would find you whichever way they typed your username. WjBscribe 22:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Also, are you User:L'œuf on the French wikipedia? WjBscribe 22:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I am. L'oeuf 23:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I would be happy for you to register User:L'œuf and redirect the user page and user talk page to your account. However, I am not happy renaming you to this name, as I feel it does not help your reachability. I was also quite happy to discuss this matter... but I feel you're ranting at me somewhat. I respect people of other races... but please remember this is the Wikipedia for the English Language. I would imagine most users would have a hard time typing œ. Indeed, I have to paste it in order to get it. --Deskana (banana) 00:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I am. L'oeuf 23:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: We allow people to have completely non latin usernames though. Secretlondon 15:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Done We allow non-latin usernames and this amounts to an accented letter and is easily displayable on English-language systems. Secretlondon 17:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: Please reregister the account User:L'oeuf and place redirects there, so that users can better contact you. --Deskana (banana) 17:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Sivarticus → Fkingtell
- Current name: Sivarticus (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Fkingtell (rename user)
- Reason: I'm chaning to a user name that represents me beter Sivarticus 23:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I am curious, what is the origin of the username? Right now it resembles a swear word too much, for me. --Deskana (banana) 00:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- You have a point. The first letter comes from my first name, and kingtell is my new screen name. I would settle for Kingtell, or Wkingtell, would those work? Sivarticus 15:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- I am curious, what is the origin of the username? Right now it resembles a swear word too much, for me. --Deskana (banana) 00:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
MC Snowy → MC
- Current name: MC Snowy (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: MC (rename user)
- Reason: I want to shorten it. —MC Snowy (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

OsteopathicFreak → Hopping
- Current name: OsteopathicFreak (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Hopping (rename user)
- Reason: I would like my user name to be my own name. Note: In my ignorance, I attempted to change my name by simply "moving" User:OsteopathicFreak to User:Hopping. I moved it back once I realized this was improper procedure. The User:Hopping page is now blank, but exsistant. My apologies. TU OsteopathicFreak T 01:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Clerk note: The requested name already exists, however is usurpable. Cheers, Lights 01:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Not done per the above. Please file for usurpation. --Deskana (banana) 01:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
X360 → Hayden120
- Current name: X360 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Hayden120 (rename user)
- Reason: I feel my current name is too vague and makes me look like a robot. I'd rather people know me as a person, not a letter and three numbers. If my name is changed, will all my edits I have made in the past be renamed too? Could you please inform me first if my contributions will not be moved to my new account; if they are don't worry about notifying me if and when you change my name. Thanks. X360 12:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
XFirecrackerx → BrandonXVX
- Current name: XFirecrackerx (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: BrandonXVX (rename user)
- Reason: "Brandon" is my first name, "XVX" stands for Vegan Straight Edge, which is a very important part of my life. This is my username for all the other websites that I use. Thanks! XFirecrackerx 15:57, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Caroyl → JanieBeth
- Current name: Caroyl (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: JanieBeth (rename user)
- Reason: privacy purposes Caroyl 18:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
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. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: I'd like the account to confirm this before I do it. Also, it's not exactly clear how "privacy purposes" applies to an account called "Caroyl". It's not your full name. Can you please explain that, too? --Deskana (banana) 08:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Eric.ostrom → Eric.Ostrom
- Current name: Eric.ostrom (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

- Current name: Ekoharyadi (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

WidmerEC → WidmerEast
- Current name: WidmerEC (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
