- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: (Italian) Chiedo di cambiare il mio username per un maggiore livello di anonimato, dal momento che Il Passeggero, anche in varianti in altre lingue, lo utilizzo anche su altri luoghi al di fuori di Wikimedia. Chiedo inoltre, se possibile, unire con un merge al nuovo utente, anche il mio precedente utente, che avevo registrato solo su Wikipedia it: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:ThePassenger, così da avere un unico utente e un'unica discussione anche nello storico. Grazie anticipatamente
- (English) I ask to change my username to a a higher level of anonymity, since I use Il Passeggero in other sites too, out of Wikimedia. I ask also, if it is possible, to merge to the new user, my previous user on Wikipedia it: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:ThePassenger, so as to have a single user and a single discussion also in the history. Thanx in advance --Il Passeggero (talk) 18:44, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- @IlPasseggero: Hello, Apologies but we can't merge accounts. Also if we will try swaping local edit of old account to new one, that will not be beneficial as you will loose edits of IlPasseggero at it.wiki.
