N tmp 11:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 On hold User:N is a redirect to User:Nard the Bard. I'm asking him about this and changing the redirects. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 14:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

This is amusing to me because I gave up "N" because it was impossible to get the name because not all local wikis were willing to grant usurpations. I'm ok with giing it to him. Although there are lots of old links to my name on en.wiki and I will have to see about that. -Nard the Bard 11:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Speaking as of meta this is Done User:N renamed to User:N (usurped 2) (because User:N (usurped) already exists). Did not moved User:N tmp. Now User:N is free for SUL. At other projects it may be or may not be possible to grant usurpation. Redirects fixed. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 15:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. --N 16:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

• As this request is for meta, you would also need to request a rename on all other projects where you have unified your account. However, as you have only made 11 edits on the English Wikipedia, and this is your first edit on meta, you, I suggest that you simply create the new account - there is no need for renaming. Best, The Helpful One 13:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

At this place you can only request username changes on meta, most other projects have active crats so please request locally (see Index of pages where renaming can be requested)!

Do you still wish to hide your old (user-)name? a×p_de^Hello! 21:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Not done No response in a month, the has been inactive since 8th January, please feel free to request a rename upon your return. :-) The Helpful One 16:10, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

This username appears to be the same as that of a company/product. Such a username is not permitted in Wikimedia. I urge you to choose a different username. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 12:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

"Such a username is not permitted in Wikimedia." Huh? Do we really have a policy forbidding that kind of usernames? Jafeluv 13:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment I don't know if that's explicitly forbidden to have such a name, but first we had a lot of issues crosswiki with SEO spam, and then I don't see a need to perform such a rename, the only edit at meta is requesting the rename. That's why I would personally have closed the request as not done. Best regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 13:41, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

For this specific case, I agree. Jafeluv 13:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Not done, then. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 14:15, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• Reason: I'm going to start participating in German (de.wik*.org) projects and would like to change my username in all of the existing wiki accounts to something that's is not a word or a phrase in German (or in any other language). It will make my records in Talk and History pages less distracting. So far I have changed it in en.wikipedia.org .

Ist das eine Anfrage auf globaller Ebene oder nur für meta? Hier kann nur für meta umbenannt werden. --WizardOfOz ^talk 22:55, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

PS: Global gehts hier lang. --WizardOfOz ^talk 22:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

auf globaler Ebene ist. Ich hab die Anfrage an die angegebene Seite geschickt. Danke für die Umleitung. Sollen wir den Fall für abgeschlossen erklären? --Immer in Bewegung 03:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Die Stewards sagten mir ich solle die Konten einzeln umbenennen. Can I just get this meta account renamed, then? --Immer in Bewegung 04:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

In any case, you have no other edits on Meta and the target username is available, so you can simply register the ForeverViolet224 username and start editing with it. Jafeluv 11:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

• Reason: May I ask you to rename my “Packa” account to “Packa (renamed)” and then “Pavel Hrdlička” to “Packa” (on the Meta-Wiki only)?
  Formerly I wanted to separate my activities in Wikimedia (Pavel Hrdlička) from my work on Wikipedia (Packa), but I don’t need it now. I would like to the utilize an advantage of the unified login and particularly avoid to editing under wrong account. In the future I only will use the Packa account.
  Thanks
