Example request:

MD Webbureau → Firtinaam
I'd like to change my username to "Firtinaam" because MD Webbureau is my company name, but i see that isnt good. So i would like to change it. Thank you. - MD Webbureau (talk) 11:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have seen your requests on other wikis declined due to the fact that you could create another account. Whether that's common practice here, I don't know, but I'm leaning a bit toward declining this request pending comment from others.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see a reason not to do it. Peachey88 (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would ignore what has happened on other wikis, except that if I rename the user, it might cause SUL problems, as from m:Meta:Changing username, it appears that he might accept the advice to just create another account. If another bureaucrat disagrees, I wouldn't complain. It's just my own personal doubts. If I don't see him respond to the request on Meta soon (on whether he'll take the advice), I'll do it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

user:deepak
This account not created by me. this account is merged when i am using Special:MergeAccount. so kindly usurp the account. Deepak (talk) 02:13, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you're asking for, because usurptions are normally performed to make way for another rename.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

User:Ajl772 (SUL) → User:Radar33
I'd like to change my username to "radar33" because I'm changing my SUL across all the projects. Thanks! -- Ajl772 (talk) 21:56, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 15:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * All I'd need is confirmation that you own the new username.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:47, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you mean, that I own it on en.wiki? I'll post you a message on my Talk Page there. Thanks, Jasper Deng. Nwjerseyliz (talk) 23:13, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. I renamed Liz to Liz (usurped) to allow room for this.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:18, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Note: now I own the global account User:Tino and User:Tino 032 and I allow the usurpation, in order to migrate the contributions by Tino_032 under the new nickname Tino. --Tino (talk) 11:17, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Mark Extension:Education Program page for translation
I would like to begin translating Extension:Education Program to Spanish language, but I need a Translation Admin or someone with permission to mark it for translation. Thanks. --Zerabat (talk) 17:56, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
