Only stewards and global renamers have the authority to approve or decline requests. Requests are automatically clerked by a bot, but occasionally human intervention is required, particularly for malformed requests. If you would like to help out with clerking, please see Wikipedia:Changing username/Assistance. Notice to renamers

Caution Do not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.

NyandaI → Nyandar
[edit ]
- Current name: NyandaI (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Nyandar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)

- Datestamp: 12:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: backup PUBLIC ACCOUNT to be used in libraries and other hijack-prone environments, now with uppercase I at end is visually indistinguishable from PRIMARY account to be used at home, now with lowercase L at end, this backup account should become Nyandar. Nyandal (talk) 12:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Robot clerk note: The request was made by Nyandal, not NyandaI; please login as NyandaI to request a name change.—cyberbot I Talk to my owner:Online 12:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- I see no problem here, but I would like to hear other opinion from other GRs. Phương Linh (thảo luận) 15:17, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Backup account must become Nyandar, it is based on Japanese L-R ambiguity, it was told by DoubleGrazing already. Nyandal (talk) 16:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Nyandal: for the record, I didn't say you must change it to Nyandar; that was your idea. What I said was that you should change it to something different enough so that it doesn't cause confusion, like Nyandal vs. NyandaI do, which are virtually indistinguishable.
- Note also that you made this request from the wrong account. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:41, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Nyandal vs Nyandar is my FINAL decision for my backup account. I like the Japanese things too as well. Nyandal (talk) 16:50, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
