Bureaucrat note: Since bureaucrats are the only ones who can change usernames, it's used to mark a comment from one of us. Changing usernames is not a right, either. This appears to be a right to vanish request, too, and we don't usually change usernames in those cases. The editor appears to already be gone. ···

Could you explain further what you mean by "we don't usually change usernames in" RTV cases? –
xenotalk 17:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)reply
If they are just wanting to stop using the site, they should add {{retired}} to their userpage, and/or just stop using the account. If they need their username changed for privacy reasons connected to the RTV, then we will change it to something random, not to what they request, and we won't tell them what username we changed it to, either. ···

As a song, "

No problem. Most have English instructions, or you can use something like
http://translate.google.com to try and scrape by. In any case, all you need to usually do is create a new section at the CHU request page and use their template. That is usually easy enough to pick out amongst the foreign language text =) –
