* Reason: I don't want to use this account anymore, or at least I think I'll restrict my activity since I don't want to be involved with Wikimedia projects anymore. The other request appears to be stuck. I'm not sure if there's some technical issue or if it is the case that these requests take an extraordinarily long time to process. Anyway, my request still stands since I don't want to be associated with this nickname and its variants I've been using on other sites.

Changing username/Simple
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.

Instructions
For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • hinzufügen your desired username after NEW=
    • hinzufügen a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.


Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

 Renamer note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. @Best Loven:, according to your user page: "Best Ambrose Better known with his stage name Best loven. His a Nigeria born Singer, songwriter,record producer ."

DeltaOmegaRhoSorority → KappaOmegaRhoSorority

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:50, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. Renamer note: The username DeltaOmegaRhoSorority (talk · contribs) has made no contributions to the project aside from this edit, or has only a few minor contributions.. Hi @DeltaOmegaRhoSorority:, both your existing and your proposed usernames are that of an organisation, which we do not allow. Additionally, there have been no edits under this account name, so we prefer such users to create a new name rather than go through a name change. A further note - per WP:NOSHARING, we do not allow multiple users to edit through one account. SilkTork (talk) 09:42, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SilkTork:, given Red Patch made one now-deleted edit back in 2009 according to this link and then nothing else, would the Usurpation username process work? RedPatchBoy (talk) 11:26, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed user aaaa → Renamed User azbycx951048

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 09:50, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Renamed user aaaa:, did you create the account with the name "Renamed user aaaa"? Or are you an existing vanished user? And please note:  Renamer note: If this is a request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option..

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 09:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A Singaporean Tryceratop - semi-colons in usernames are really problematic. They break things unexpectedly. I know this because I used to edit as User:For (;;). I strongly advise you to choose a different username. Cabayi (talk) 12:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
