July[edit]

Hi me again. Yeah, just another tweak... let's go with "Rationalizer bunny" as a pun on the Energizer bunny. What do you think? Good/bad? RatMaster háblame 21:56, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you asking for my opinion or are you asking me to actually do it? -- Nx / talk 07:43, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Nx. Could you please move me from BbMaj7 to B♭maj7#11, if you would be so kind. (I couldn't get the non-alphanumerics in when I signed up). Thanks, sir. BbMaj7 Doin' to you in your ear hole. 15:33, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

September '11[edit]

I have - metaphorically speaking - sobered up and decided to ditch the name 'eyeonicr' on this site (if nothing else I'd rather this not be seen to categorise me) and change it to User:PeterL. You know, just in case a RFNALI policy is ever implemented ;)

If you're not too busy/deposed, of course...

Eyeonicr talk, or type, or whatever... 04:39, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

"Socal212" is incredibly tacky and a testament to my lack of creativity when it comes to usernames. May I have changed to just "Sam"? Sam Tally-ho! 00:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hecho. Blue (is useful) 00:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
¡Muchas gracias, Azul! Sam Tally-ho! 00:39, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Done. Blue (is useful) 06:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Done. Blue (is useful) 06:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Maximaman (talk) 06:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much indeed, Peter. --Alice 05:20, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

May 2013[edit]

Current username is stupid, so I'd like to have it changed to Lola Lazerface. The original Lazerface may have become a goddamn idiot after the first album, but the name's still cool as hell. Thank you, beautiful people. WF Lizardbrain (talk) 05:42, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

August 2014[edit]

I was never new to writing wiki's when I edited here, I want to go by Exiled Encyclopedist as I try to get enough people to petition arbcom to let me back on for the work I've done here and on wikipedia. I'm sure I taught you at least one thing you find interesting, sad or useful, but are glad to know, I mean learned more than I intended here and am glad.

  • Crimson Guard to Krom. Some idiot is accusing me of "impersonating" someone else with the Crimson Guard name from another forum. Crimson Guard" is a fictional name from G.I. Joe universe and is common name on internet forums etc., so I'm not "impersonating" anyone with that fictional name, but it can be changed to Krom. Crimson Guard (talk) 19:57, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Please change from "SID 6581" to "PostalDude420" as it is my Reddit/Imgur username and I wish to have both easily identifiable. — Unsigned, by: SID 6581 / talk / contribs

No problemo. Also: On talk pages, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the sign button: SigButt.png on the toolbar above the edit panel. You can also indent successive talk page comments using one more colon (:) for each line. Thank you. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 13:09, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

April 2017[edit]

Could you change my current name to Koidevelopment? That's the username I use on most things I'm on and every time I see this one it feels weird (plus this one has no good ways to shorten it or nickname. Edh? bleh. Ellie? bleh.) Koi just feels like home haha. Anim (Carfa) 14:09, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

As you wish, Koi Th hug.gif Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:49, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Can we change the names of the offensive vandals from earlier? Namely, 'All girls between 18 and 40 deserve to be raped', 'Koidevelopment, lets go rape a girl at Oral Roberts University!', 'Elementary School Girl', 'Shelby wants Koidevelopment's dick', and 'BloodRedLuigi'? Thanks. Parrrley 03:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, I hid them for now, but you can keep BloodRedLuigi because hiding and rename that username is offensive to Luigis who inhabit Virtual Boys. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 03:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Also, I'm not sure if this is the place to request them, though, again, if you check the rename log, nauseating usernames have been changed to more upbeat ones, so I'd imagine the request will be fulfilled... --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 03:20, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

June 2017[edit]

can you change my name to Rimuru Tempest? I was given this name I have currently and hate it. (-_-) --Whoknows (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I've thought about it, and I would like my username changed to Bigs (just kill that sockpuppet I made). —ℓσωℓу ѕуѕσρ вιgℓʝвιgℓ σf gσαтιѕтαи (ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴏғ ᴡɪsᴅᴏᴍ/ᴀᴄʜɪᴇᴠᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs) 13:09, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

It doesn't work that way. You can't delete accounts like that. ClickerClock (talk) 13:10, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
It would work if you renamed the Bigs account, @Bigljbigl, any preference for what you want the Bigs account renamed to? Christopher (talk) 13:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Would you guys mind changing my name to SpacePrius? This is mostly in the interest of keeping my online identity consistent, and due to some personally identifiable information linked to my current name. (Not to mention it makes me cringe every time I see it.) Bubba41102Is reaching a breaking point 02:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Done! @SpacePriusClickerClock (talk) 03:41, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

January 2018[edit]

I would like to change my username to Spriggina. I feel that having a less obviously female username might help with the harassment I occasionally receive on my talk page. It's also a much better name than my current uninspired one. Sᴘʀɪɢɢɪɴᴀ (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) (ᴄᴏɴᴛʀɪʙs) @ 03:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Spriggina Done! —Kazitor, pending 04:23, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Can someone change my name to "retired" or something, anything? I don't want my name out there like this anymore, and while you're at it, can you protect my talk page and user page so only administrators can edit it? No comment on any of this recent troll stuff. Hugs for everyone. J. Zoia (talk) 19:35, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Would you like a tech to do the same for Alyssa Bryant and It's Jenn? RoninMacbeth (talk) 19:38, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Done the rename. Sorry for thinking you were a troll. Christopher (talk) 19:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Alyssa Bryant was a pseudonym (not another person as the troll says it is), and I wish there was some way of recovering the password for it because I like that account name and the sig I made for it. Could you also rename It's Jenn? It's okay Christopher. It's Jenn (talk) 19:43, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
@It's Jenn you can recover the password through Special:PasswordReset. —Kazitor, pending 21:14, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Someone said I should change name. What about Eagles 2023, is that acceptable? It's the mascot of the college I'm going to go to and the year I expect to graduate from there. Otherwise, what about just calling me Kate? Eagles 2023 (talk) 16:47, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2020[edit]

Could I get a name change to something like Sardonic_Salvation? Using my actual username for RW was a mistake, considering the fact that it would make me a possible target for harassment. Something much more anonymous and alias-y would lessen the chance of that (although anyone who checks this page can figure out my original identity, anyways. Not like I can delete my account and re-register, though.) Taberone (talk) 02:12, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't exactly have a good history with this website, but I just re-discovered it. The right-wing hysteria around the pandemic has made me wanting to contribute some genuine edits.

September 2020[edit]

Looking to change my handle to "Sirius", however it belongs to an editor with a single contribution, which is simply how they found the site. Would there be objections to renaming that user or uh...? The upper bit says stuff about 0 contributions, but this appears to have been a one-time driveby editor. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 17:20, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

No objections from me. Maybe leave a note on the user's talk page and wait a day or so just in case, but they're probably not coming back. --RWRW (talk) 18:42, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Can I update the signature of my old posts to have my new username? If not, then is there any way that I can have my account forcibly closed? This is because this website shows up when I google my old username, and I don’t want to be associated with this website anymore. FridgeMan54 (talk) 19:21, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

So you don't clutter RC, I'd like to request you hold off on doing this (as well as the fact that you apparently tried to modify timestamps which is a no-go in any situation). I can do this with Inferno Bot in one go for you (something like s/Dr. (“LiNK” 49)/Fridgeman54/g) should be possible, but I want another Tech to give the go clear signal before I go around running text replacement scripts. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 19:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
OK Thanks. FridgeMan54 (talk) 20:01, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Not just to be a bit of a wet blanket but I don't think any such fiddling should be done without general (not just tech) approval. Scream!! (talk) 20:34, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Fair enough. I won't do anything if mods don't want me to. Frankly, this is a bit of a nothingburger to me. Even if I do this, the diffs will show Fridges original handle, which makes this mostly futile and I'm no way in hell gonna suppress edits over something like this.

Could my name please be changed to "armed_roomba"? This is how I usually format it and the space looks funny to me. armed_roomba (she/her)What am I doing wrong this time? 16:15, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

In one way, no. Unfortunately, as you'll see in the URL to your user page, the wiki software treats space and '_' the same way in page names and user names. (Space is replaced with '_' in links, and '_' is replaced with space when displaying page and user names.)
In another way, yes. You could change how it looks on your user pages on your own, by adding this at the top:
  • {{DISPLAYTITLE:User:armed_roomba}} – for User: page
  • {{DISPLAYTITLE:User talk:armed_roomba}} – for User_talk: page
You could also e.g. change the "User" to lowercase "user" in those if you prefer. You can do that kind of thing on any of your user pages. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 16:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
