Requests for renames

 * Archive
 * Information on how renames work is available on Wikipedia.

Example request:

Oldname -> Newname
I'd like to change my username to "Newname" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - ~

Horacewai2 -> Waihorace
I'd like to change my username to "Waihorace" because that's the username I use on other projects. I'm going to rename on global wikimedia projects. Thanks! - HW 07:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- :bdk: 13:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Andewz111 -> OpenTheWindows
First, rename "OpenTheWindows" to something gibberish (it's my account), then rename this account (Andewz111) to OpenTheWindows. Proof (even though the URL says "Commons"). This is for completing my new SUL. Andewz111 19:36, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- :bdk: 15:44, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

OpenTheWindows -> I-20
Renaming globally. SUL is taken care of, doing rename on enwiki. Thanks! OpenTheWindows 17:29, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You've renamed already once less than a month ago, is there a specific reason for this? :_) --Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 18:07, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the username I already use on: simplewiki metawiki commonswiki. enwiki and enwikibooks names are not mime, but being usurped. OpenTheWindows 19:13, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * enwikibooks is now taken care of. enwiki should ensue. OpenTheWindows 21:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Been a month. Now I want to be "Operation BSOD" . Ok? OpenTheWindows 02:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I-20 now. My account has been SULed already... OpenTheWindows 21:28, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Break: I need "OpenTheWindows" to be "I-20". This is a SUL request. Does this clear the problem up? I-20 02:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Of which I have confirmed. 15:09, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Techni
I am a MediaWiki developer I seek to secure the articles on my development.User: Techni 19:51, 7 August 2010
 * ❌ MediaWiki developer means "have commit access to the wikimedia svn repository", which I do not believe you have. -- Skiz zerz  00:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Editprotected
Could someone please take a look at my requests here and here? There doesn't seem to be an editprotected template to request attention directly there, so I thought I'd mention them here. Thanks, Waldir 07:34, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Happy-melon (1), Reedy (2) and MaxSem (3), (4). --Waldir 13:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Delete sandbox
Please delete all old versions of Sandbox (delete it and restore the latest version). The version history contains copyright violations, pornographic texts which describe actions of persons under 14 (which may be illegal in your country), personal data and perhaps other content that qualifies for deletion. On the other side, the old content of the Sandbox isn't really needed. Example: copyvio from here (other example links may be provided on request per Email, I don't want to make them public).

I didn't start a regular request for deletion (a) because I only want old versions to be deleted and (b) the content of Sandbox changes often and the request for deletion would be removed by users testing on the page. Regards, --Church of emacs 07:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
