Requested name: Doug (rename user)
Reason: SUL
User:Doug has no edits, no logs, has valid e-mail.
A diff for confirmation of global identity is here--BewareofDoug (talk) 23:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Brian McNeil / ^talk 23:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quickiebites → Syed

Current name: Quickiebites (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

Simeon → Simeon2

Current name: Simeon (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Simeon2 (rename user)
Reason: I'd like Simeon to be renamed to something else for a future global account. I'm Simeon from nl.wiki and here's a confirmation of my request. I'm well aware that this user has made edits but considering the message on his user page, it's worth a try (unless it's not allowed by GFDL rules or so). Thanks, Simeon 20:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

User was, at one time, quite active. Has not specified an email address to confirm they're gone or not so I'm not sure on this usurpation. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Symode09 → BrownCat

Current name: Symode09 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: BrownCat (rename user)
Reason: I am changing from my old school username to my new name... I am trying to change my online identity Symode09 (talk) 08:23, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not possible as you have migrated to SUL. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to first go to meta:Steward requests/SUL requests and request your global account be deleted so you can rename your accounts and then merge them again. Adambro (talk) 12:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hippo → Hippo

Current name: Hippo (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Hippo (rename user)
Reason: I am Hippo on etwiki [1] and have SUL. Hippo on enwikinews has 0 edits. Hippo (talk) 20:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

The target username on en.WN has no edits. The et.wiki user has confirmed the request on et.wiki. If there are no objections, I'll rename the old en.WN Hippo to make way for this user to claim this name. --Chiacomo ^(talk) 04:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spiderpig0001 → Da Punk '95

Current name: Spiderpig0001 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Da Punk '95 (rename user)
Reason: SUL Spiderpig0001 (talk) 03:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Target already exists. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tomf688 → Tom

Current name: Tomf688 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Tom (rename user)
Reason: No edits, no log activity, and no valid email. Wish to merge with unified account based at en:wiki. Tomf688 (talk) 14:47, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot be done as account Tom already unified. The unification must be undone before the rename is possible. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 18:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Glacier Wolf → LeiaY

Current name: Glacier Wolf (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: LeiaY (rename user)
Reason: Less gender confusion with this name. Besides, it appears that my current username scares people. Go figure. :/ Glacier Wolf 02:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User LeiaY already exists, is this yours? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 15:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Throwaway account → Amerique

Current name: Throwaway account (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Amerique (rename user)
Reason: I registered "Amerique" here a long time ago and lost the password. I'd like to usurp my old account to have a universal username. Here is a diff to an edit I made on en to prove that this is me:[2]. Throwaway account (talk) 18:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have a global/SUL account, I have renamed the old account but the system will not permit me to rename the "Throwaway account" into place. Please try a login to your SUL account and a local edit. If problems persist seek help on meta. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stlemur → Killing Vector

Current name: Stlemur (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Killing Vector (rename user)
Reason: Harmonization of usernames across wikiprojects before migration to SUL Stlemur (talk) 16:21, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stlemur does not exist - may already have been actioned by other B'crat. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sometemporaryname → Bob

Current name: Sometemporaryname (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Bob (rename user)
Reason: Usurping for SUL. I'm Bob on enwiki. Sometemporaryname (talk) 07:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bob is an SUL account already. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:21, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lucas → Lucas (SUL)

Current name: Lucas (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Lucas (rename user)
Reason: Hello, please apologize if I speak in a bad english but I'm italian ;). I am sysop on italian wikipedia and I'm contributor on many other wikimedia projects (wikinews, en.wiki, de.wiki, fr.wiki..). I would like to unify the user Lucas here too, but I forgot the passowrd or someone else registred it before me without using it. The user has no edits. Thanks for any help ;).. --Lucas (talk) 08:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Invalid request, Lucas->Lucas is not a rename. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:21, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WillJenkins → SillyWilly

Current name: WillJenkins (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: SillyWilly (rename user)
Reason: To facilitate this newfangled unified sign in thingy... WillJenkins (talk) 18:52, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ethan0 → Ethan (usurpation request)

Current name: Ethan0 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Ethan (talk · contribs · logs · block log) (rename user)
Reason: Requesting to usurp Ethan to unify with my SUL account. Target's only edits, apart from their own userpage, are 1 and 2 which seem pretty insignificant; and the account has been inactive for a long time (3.8 years). Identity-proving message on my SUL home-wiki: diff. -Ethan0 (talk) 21:51, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leo Johannes → Calandrella

Current name: Leo Johannes (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Calandrella (rename user)
Reason: Hi, I have changed my username on my homewiki (Swedish Wikipedia) and the most other wikis. In order to have this English Wikinews account in my unified account Calandrella (which I yet haven't created), it has to be renamed. Thanks! Leo Johannes (talk) 11:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel1 → Daniel1 (SUL)

Current name: Daniel1 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Daniel1 (SUL) (rename user)
Reason: I am he:User:Daniel1 and I have merged all my accounts to User:Daniel1. This user on Wikinews has made no contributions. Thanks. 85.65.52.93 16:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jmkfi → Jmk

Current name: Jmkfi (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Jmk (rename user)
Reason: SUL. Target has no edits in Wikinews. Proof of ownership here Jmkfi (talk) 15:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does somebody know whether Wikinews has active bureaucrats that handle CHU requests? If not, perhaps that job could be delegated to the stewards. --Jmkfi (talk) 14:15, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lemming → Lemming (usurp)

Current name: Lemming (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Lemming (usurp) (rename user)
Reason: I'm trying to unify my accounts (SUL). The existing account, created on 28 November 2005, has no user contributions and no user page. Would it be possible to rename this account to move it out of the way? My home account is Wikipedia:User:Lemming. Here is a diff Thank you very much. --82.146.104.187 20:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done--Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blaite → Holger I.

Current name: Blaite (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Holger I. (rename user)
Reason: Renamed already on other projects. Blaite (talk) 12:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done Brian | (Talk) | ^{New Zealand Portal} 21:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Messedrocker → Harej

Current name: Messedrocker (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Harej (rename user)
Reason: I have identified as "harej" for some time now, so I would like to eliminate any potential confusion. I am making this request on other wikis as well. MessedRocker (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done You'll probably need to re-unify it with the harej global account. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 19:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jet123 → WJetChao

Current name: Jet123 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: WJetChao (rename user)
Reason: I want to have a new username because I have single user login (SUL) account and I can't gain access to some wikis with that name. My account is in migration and there are 3 unconfirmed accounts that I have on Simple English Wiktionary/Wikibooks/Wikiquote. I just want a new SUL username which is not registered. My home wiki is w:User:Jet123. Jet123 (talk) 09:06, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done--Brian McNeil / ^talk 10:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
