- Current name: Konabear1133 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Blackburn2000 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 23:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: If you're being harassed for your edits, a rename will not help; your previous edits will just be reattributed to the new username. If you'd like to totally separate yourself from your existing user name, register a new account.
If you'd still like to be renamed, just reply and we'll perform it; there's no other reason not to. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Not done No reply. --Dweller (talk) 09:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
ErikRydbert → 鬼佬

- Requested name: 鬼佬 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: Would prefer not to show my real name anymore. ErikRydbert (talk) 23:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: What do those characters mean? Kingturtle (talk) 00:19, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: I believe it means "Foreigners" in Traditional Han Chinese. —Anonymous Dissident 01:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note: Google language tools translates it as "Gweilo", the disparaging term for caucasians. While the wiki article has some unsourced statement about it being more accepted now, in my experience, its predominant use was negative. If the user now known as ErikRydbert is him/herself Caucasian, I guess this would be acceptable as per User:Queer Scout or User:FeygeleGoy. However, if the user is Chinese, this would be unacceptable. -- Avi (talk) 05:54, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bureaucrat note:I can't speak with absolute certainty, because I do not have a Cantonese background, but when it comes to Chinese in general, whenever the term "鬼" is used to refer to a race or a people, it's not the most racially sensitive. bibliomaniac15 03:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Not done Please choose a name that is inoffensive, per our username policy. --Dweller (talk) 09:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

- Bureaucrat note: Are you certain you want a username that will make it difficult for people to refer to you? -- Avi (talk) 16:19, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Additionally, having non-standard characters in your username will likely make logging in difficult. –Juliancolton | 16:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Remember, it's possible to put a name in your signature different to your account name. So you can sign off as ☮Ÿ☮ on talk pages but remain MinaBeana when logging in. Greg Tyler 08:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
