·ARTE· → ARTE
- Current name: ·ARTE· (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: ARTE (change username)
- Reason: I am using the nick "ARTE" on different projects (see links on my user page), but I was unable to register that name on the English Wikipedia since there is already a user with the similar name "Arte". Policy says that it's not possible to use names that can be confused with other contributors, but user "Arte" is not a contributor. He registered over 1 year ago but never made an edit since then. Using the name "ARTE" would be also less confusing for users of the English Wikipedia who are looking for me on other projects and vice-versa. So may I please have my name changed to "ARTE"? I will survive a negative answer... ·ARTE· 11:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Want-Angus → Angus
- Current name: Angus (talk • contribs)
- Requested name: Angus (change username)
- Reason: This is not an usual request as I'm not the requester and it deals with a user from another language wiki. Basically, es:User:Angus (which is a long time user, admin and crat on es:) created en:User:angus but never used it, so it's an inactive account with 0 edits and won't ever be used again. So, he would like to request en:user:angus to be renamed to something different so he can get the username angus back. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I talked with Essjay about the special circumstances and he said go ahead and request here. Now, for security reasons, I'm asking him to create a new account and confirm (on es: as es:User:angus) the new username he's creating. After he does so, we'll come back and post the details here, so 1. en:user:angus can be moved, 2. the new en: username can be renamed to angus. So please don't close prematurely this request. -- Drini 14:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'd just like to note that my response to the original request can be found here. Essjay (Talk) 03:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- The user has been created as en:User:Want-Angus, the diff confirming it is at [2] and I?ll ask him to drop a note here now.
Yes I confirm I want the change to get my username back. --Want-Angus 01:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't get it. If Angus was registered by you, why can't you login using that id? =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- It was a long time ago, when I first met Wikipedia, before I even considered collaborating actively with the project. Probably 2004 or 2003. I didn't register an email, and don't remember the password. --Want-Angus 12:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

- Are you sure you want to keep your username. Many wikipedians come here to change their real name to a pseudoname on privacy concerns. Since you do not have any contributions, you can request the current username to be permanently blocked and create a new login. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
