Requests for renames

 * Information on how renames work is available on Wikipedia., Archives: 2013 (Previous years).

Example request:

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

__NOINDEX__

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)

MTVarro → Varro
I'd like to change my username to "Varro" because that's the username I use on other projects. Confirmation link is here. Thanks! - MTVarro (talk) 20:02, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ❌ I can't rename because you already have an SUL account over here. Because you have only one edit under the name you requested it, I don't think a rename is strictly necessary - it would be easier for you to use your already-existing account Varro here (rather than me performing a usurpation of the already-unified account).--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I am trying to do the SUL unfication of account Varro. Mediawiki is one of seven projects where I cannot log in as Varro, because somebody else registered it, with no edits here. I already got the rename confirmed in English, French and Spanish Wiki; and it should soon follow in Italian and Dutch. Thanks. MTVarro (talk) 07:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ - sorry, I didn't see that the local account was not attached to the SUL and you didn't own it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:14, 15 July 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)

Cananian → Cscott
I'd like to change my username to "cscott" because that's the username I use on other projects. (This is actually one step in the multistep process of renaming my SUL account. The rename was successful on enwiki, and now I'm working on commons, meta, and mediawiki.) Thanks! Cananian (talk) 22:14, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 22:33, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
