Danhomer
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Danhomer (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Dan Leonard (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I’d like to switch to my own name. en:wikipedia has usernames User:Danleonard and User:DanLeonard, but these have not been used in a decade and have less than five edits between them. May I be exempt from the “too-similar” rule in this instance?
- @Danhomer: Are you anyhow connected with en:Dan Leonard? Also are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:24, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @1997kb: No I’m not. I have considered the implications and I’m willing to take the risks. I’m looking towards an academic career, so editing under my own name – especially on subjects in my field – feels more transparent. --Danhomer (talk) 01:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Done @Dan Leonard: Please mention you are not en:Dan Leonard on your userpage so that users don't get confused. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I prefer to use a simple and generic name to give my contribution to Wikipedia.
- Why are you using invisible character in your username just before D? Is it any trick to hide your block on frwiki? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @1997kB:I am a user of Chinese wikipedia. I am not blocked on Chinese wikipedia. I didn't use the invisible character. The username I'm using right now is something I picked at random Diraged3 (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Not done Considering your block log for sockpuppetry on Chinese Wikipedia and active block on French Wikipedia I'm rejecting this request as I'm not confident that you are requesting in good faith. Please take some time to resolve that block issue and then you can request rename later. Regards ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:59, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: (inappropriate)
- @Asso Cral Italia: Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted. However, usernames are acceptable if they clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark", "Jack Smith", "WidgetFan87", etc. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Danhomer
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Danhomer (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Sex haver 𓂺 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Wanted to change to username that includes Egyptian script, but was rejected as the verification is not up-to-date on Unicode assignments. Specifically, U+130BA was called “unassigned” in error. The character at the end of my requested username is in fact valid under w:WP:NOEMOJI as it is within the list of the world’s writing systems and is not emoji.
- @Danhomer: It is up-to-date. If you will try to register that username, you will get the same response. So I am not going to bypass that registeration restriction for you. Apart from that as you edit on enwiki, this username also falls under en:WP:UNCONF and en:WP:DISRUPTNAME. So please choose another one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
Request withdrawn all right then Danhomer (talk) 04:26, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

- Reason: I do not like my current username and would prefer a simpler username. --Temurj (talk) 16:20, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Temurj: this rename does not involve complications, so please use the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest instead. But the new name is not simpler, are you sure this is the change you want to make? — Yerpo Eh? 08:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Not done per above. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:55, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
