Do not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled. |
Phill Butler → PBJ
- Current name: Phill Butler (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: PBJ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Datestamp: 13:52, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: MORE CONFIDENTIAL/ PRIVATE — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phill Butler (talk • contribs) 15:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for PBJ (primary wiki: nlwiki).—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:30, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Renamer note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use.. @Phill Butler: ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:21, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Phill Butler, the existing PBJ hasn't made any contributions to any wiki. You can ask to usurp the account name at m:USURP. However, with only two edits to your credit, you may not be successful. Maybe wait until you've become more active (and less interested in self-promotion) before asking? Cabayi (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Not done Phill Butler, no response to previous comment/question. Cabayi (talk) 12:10, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Ankt sngh → doveglove

- Requested name: Doveglove (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Datestamp: 10:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The current username is a short form of my actual name which I don't want to put in the public Ankt sngh (talk) 10:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 10:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Renamer note:, Ankt sngh, given that you have only made one edit other than this one, it may be more prudent to create a new account rather than to rename this one. Renaming will leave a record that ties your new username to your old one. Cabayi (talk) 11:13, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
SlyRedeemerJT → J0hnT_2000
- Current name: SlyRedeemerJT (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Datestamp: 22:26, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is a socialism class that I am currently taking that is doing a semester-long project using Wikipedia. However, the professor requires us to use our first names within our usernames for easy identification. He will also not grade our work if that requirement is not met.

- Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- @SlyRedeemerJT: The professor cannot require that per the WP:WIKIED policies and WP:REALNAME. I don't have the direct link to the policy. @Cabayi:, do you have it? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

- Nihonjoe, my apologies for taking so long to find the material to reply. WikiEDU publishes an Instructor basics guide which says on page 8 that students "can read Wikipedia’s username policy and consider how anonymous they want to be". As I understand it, the WikiEDU dashboard gives instructors the ability to link Wiki usernames with students' real life identities out of public view. Course instructor requests (on pain of failing the course) that their students DOX themselves, are unnecessary.Ian has already emailed this course's instructor. SlyRedeemerJT's is the third request from this course that I've seen. Cabayi (talk) 09:06, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- Adding a note here to avoid doubt: this is, in fact, my legitimate alternate account. WindTempos (talk • contribs) 11:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
