- Reason: WikiJudge 10:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

It was originally made at WP:CHU/U [1] but I have move it here as the account is not taken.

Blckdmnd99 → -DjD-
- Current name: Blckdmnd99 (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: -DjD- (change username)
- Reason: Harmonizing w/ my ID's elsewhere. Started using BlckDmnd99 in Highschool and trying to move on from it. Blckdmnd99 02:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use.
Further Note: The name is not just "taken" because you moved your userpage to User:DjD, this account was created in the past and has contributions from back in September. As such, it is my personal opinion (however not based on policy) that you should probably move your userpage and usertalk back to their old locations. This user may decide to return to Wikipedia and it would be an unpleasant shock if they found another user had taken over their user space. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 03:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)- Reply: Thanks for the clarification. The username '-DjD-' appears to be available if i'm reading this right. Can I change to this instead? Thanks again. Blckdmnd99 04:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Template edited accordingly. The new name is a little similar but not taken, and because the account hasn't been used since September 06, there's really no risk of impersonation. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Susanna.kaukinen → Arch ghost of yule past
- Current name: Susanna.kaukinen (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Arch ghost of yule past (change username)
- Reason: Some edits I did could actually fek me up bad in my personal life, so I need to get behind the veil of anonymity, really. Just wasn't thinking when I made em, and can't figure out how to nuke'em, either. Susanna.kaukinen
Clerk note: I have reformatted the request per requirements. First letter has been capitalised.
