 Clerk note: To answer your questions: 1) Yes, they will be automatically moved during the rename and, 2) All your settings, watchlist, email, etc. will be preserved. Regards, Javért 04:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Javert is correct. With your questions answered, would you like the rename to be done? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not right now, but sometimes this week. I'll let you know when I'm ready for the switch. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really see a need to "not done" this. Why can't it just sit here until he notes he's ready...? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I suppose it could wait, I just figured if he is going to wait some indeterminate amount of time, we could clear off this request. MBisanz talk 06:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further on hold until this Friday. MBisanz talk 14:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: I've asked Headbomb to clarify the situation. It's been nearly two weeks since the original request so we need to sort this out, one way or another. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:18, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the lack of feedback, I seem to have unwatched this page for some reason. I've decided that for the moment, it would be better if I created that account myself, and make redirects to User:Headbomb. This way I'll protect this placeholder account, and will be able to switch in the future if my situation changes. Unless this is not within policy? Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 02:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really see a problem with it, myself, given that the target is likely not to be registered anyway. The redirects are up to you. The rename is  Not done either way. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 14:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ElvenAmerican → Christian Benvenuto

[edit]

Current: ElvenAmerican (I do not edit frequently, so I don't know the usertag trick) New: Christian Benvenuto —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.11.96.2 (talk) 13:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC) Reason: I want something that's more easy to remember, I know the conditions of using a real name on the internet. Yes, I do and will understand it. I've used my realname in several internet forums, and I've become a valued member in such communities. However, I am not a clerk or an adminstrator, so I will leave it to you. I also see that my realname is availiable, but I do not want to create another account in the fear of being accused as a sockpuppeteer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.11.96.2 (talk) 13:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: We can't perform the rename unless you log in as the account. However, you also don't have any real edits (just creating your userpage); you can just as easily register the new account and go about your business. EVula // talk // // 15:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done as this is still a company name. Please see WP:ORGNAME. Angela. 13:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SedonaTemple → Healing Retreats

[edit]

 Clerk note: Quite possibly, and a Google search of "healing retreats" brings of Sedona with the sixth result. You may be required to select a different username, but the bureaucrats will make the final call on that. Useight (talk) 14:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth.

If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. Intelligentsiumreview 00:23, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Name is already taken and I think your account is a bit new to ask for an existing account name as Intelligentsium proposes. I think it might be better for you to pick a name that isn't taken already, i.e. one that is not listed at Special:ListUsers. WJBscribe (talk) 11:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: B'crats, what's the SOP in regards to requested usernames starting in asterisks?

 Clerk note: - You are very wise in not wanting the name of a corporation to be your username (this is actually against policy). However, the target name seems as if it may still bear some semblance to a company name. Intelligentsiumreview 01:12, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: I have serious reservations about the chosen name given the history of the subpage in your userspace. We generally discourage such blatant conflicts of interest. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 20:49, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michael.n.meyer → Unactive.account

[edit]

 Bureaucrat note: Forgive me, this is a minor challenge to my small and tired mind! So you created this account but you have a "previous account" called "unactive.account"? Could you just confirm what you're asking? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: I may be wrong, but my interpretation is this: Since there is no account called "Unactive.account", I assume he has another account, with some other name (we'll call it User:XYZ), that he actually uses. He wants to usurp User:Michael.n.meyer with User:XYZ, but to first free it up, he's changing that username to User:Unactive.account. Useight (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Engpedia → ERA

[edit]

As a free user page, the title of the page Engpedia doesn't refer or inform of any particular topic or subject, therefore I want to utilize my free user page for an existing, copyrighted informative page for an item I created and produced in existence in the mainstream media world.

Engpedia → ERA:the Movie

[edit]

 Clerk note: You're not listening. Wikipedia is not your billboard, and if you insist on using your account (under any name) for promotion then do not be surprised to find yourself blocked from editing as an accountvertisement.
