, (new)

Please place your request below, and the username which you would like to possess, along with your reasons for the change. If your username has been already taken, but the account has either zero contributions or is banned indefinitely, the banned account can be renamed to make room for the new name.

Note that if your request is approved, you will have to log in again with your new username (the renaming process logs you out).

The rename process is logged here. You can enter your old username in the "target" box to find your new username if you are unsure what the new name is.

April 2024

New username: AmericanUnreason

Reason: The Age of American Unreason is a book I can say truly changed my life and inspired me to continue a lifelong pursuit of rational thought. (Better to make this request 16 years later than not!) Additionally I wish my username to be less ambiguous (easily confused with the Associated Press news wire) and more "anonymous" at the same time.

Thank you for your consideration. AP (talk) 04:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

New username: FriendlySocDem

Reason: Though some would refer to social democracy as liberalism, that is not accurate. Justarandomliberal (talk) 22:48, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

New username: Euria

Reason: The username I use on most other platforms. More recognizable and reflective of my interests, and my old one is hard to say and doesn't feel right. Thank you. RedArcher9 (talk) 02:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Rename me RationalThinker. Reason: My current username is my real name (it's an Arabic name, my native language is Arabic) and I no longer want to share personal information on social media. Yassine Mehdi (talk) 21:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

This discussion was moved here from RationalWiki:Technical support.

Is there any chance an admin with tech rights can change my username. I would rather it was the same as my Wikipedia user Psychologist Guy. Off-site I have received various threats and harassment from the usual far-right trolls. I would rather just have one name across all Wiki sites I am on. Thanks. Johns (talk) 17:16, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Nice, thanks for your help. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:44, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Please block this account, I am not Psychologist Guy, I'm another user (User:MethodsOfRationality), I created this account so that trolls or others won't be able to create this account in order to impersonate Psychologist Guy. Johns (talk) 18:04, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I can confirm I created that account to prevent impersonation, if a sysop sees this, do block the other accountThe MoR (talk) 18:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked the Johns account, thanks for that. Mikemikev has spoofed many users here so he would have probably got round to that. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Don't mention it lol, glad I was able to help :) The MoR (talk) 14:17, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
