= Headbomb → Gaetan Landry =
{{renameuser2|1=Headbomb
|2=Gaetan Landry
}}
- Reason: I want to "professionalize" my account. You can't place "User:Headbomb" on business cards without running into old coots who will take this as a sign that you're just some myspace kid. I'm aware of all the consequences and yadda yadda yadda that ensues from using your real name on the internet. Please do not make the rename immediatly, I just want confirmation that it is possible for now (I'd switch sometimes this week if possible); I need to check a few things before switching. Some questions: 1) Will all my userpage and subpages be moved to the new account or would they have to be moved manually? 2) Will all my old account settings be preserved, or do I need to re-enter emails and whatnots? Thanks. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- {{User:SoxBot/CHU|noerrorbeta}} SoxBot (talk) 04:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
:{{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)
:{{cratnote}} Javert is correct. With your questions answered, would you like the rename to be done? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
: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)
- {{crat note}} Further you have over 30,000 edits, which does mean that there is a 50/50 chance a rename will break your account (usually some edits are not re-attributed, sometimes userrights or userpages need to be moved manually) that will require a developer to help fix. Just some knowledge. MBisanz talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- {{tl|not done}} Headbomb will re-submit when ready. MBisanz talk 05:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

:Further on hold until this Friday. MBisanz talk 14:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
::{{cratnote}} 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)
:::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)
::::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 {{notdone}} either way. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 14:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

- {{notdone}}. Sorry. The account already exists on en: wikipedia. It has no edits, so you could probably usurp it by logging a request at WP:CHU/U, but that might be complicated by the fact that a German and a Dutch user both have slightly better claims to the (currently unclaimed) SUL. All of which is a long-winded way of saying that you might be best off choosing again and requesting here. --Dweller (talk) 10:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
