Simple rename requests
Rockbilly87
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Rockbilly87 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: MartyMcFly55 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Being new to Wikipedia I didn't realise my username would be shown when I update an item. I would like to change my username to something that's not linked to me personally.

Thehedgh0g
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Thehedgh0g (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Thehedgeh0g (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Made a spelling mistake when submitting my last username change request, which was from Modded -> Thehedgh0g. I'd like to correct this. I've checked, and any accounts with names similar to this one("The Hedgehog", "thehedgehog", etc.) that I could find don't have any status(no stewards/bureaucrats/admins) and most are inactive as well.
- @Thehedgh0g: It doesn't matter if similar accounts are stewards/admins/crats or not. They have edits (one even >100 and lastly auto-created account on enwiki in 2019) and that's an issue. IMHO you should choose a different username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

SevenSpheresCelestia
Status: Done

- New Username: SevenSpheres (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Recently I requested this rename to a shorter, simpler name through Special:GlobalRenameRequest. It seems to have been declined with the comment "please ask rename here. This form is for simple renames. Thanks." As can be seen here, the name I'm requesting is not currently taken; however, as I mentioned in the initial request, I could not initially create an account with this name because there is an account with a similar name, which has not made any edits.

- @QueerEcofeminist: what do you think about case? Vincent Vega msg? 09:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- As the requested username and existing another username are similar with the difference one space.. I hell confused. Should we inform the existing and ussurp to the same? To Avoid confusion? QueerEcofeminist🌈 15:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- @QueerEcofeminist:, Seven spheres is not an active account. I think this request can be granted. What do you think @1997kB, MdsShakil, and Superpes15:? Vincent Vega msg? 17:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- +1 from me. —MdsShakil (talk) 17:41, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- For sure. No issue to rename to SevenSpheres imho. The warning "name too close to..." shouldn’t always be a reason for rejection but it should be evaluated case by case, if similar usernames have 0 or few edits (perhaps on different projects than those in which the user who renames the rename is active) and have been inactive for some time, we can proceed without usurp :) Superpes15 (talk) 22:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Since the old username is a derogatory word in English (in some people's opinions), I want to change to a new meaningless username. Sorry for the inconvenience. Phac (talk) 09:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Phac Wait until tomorrow, in case you find another better name or changed your mind. —MdsShakil (talk) 11:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- @MdsShakil: The name is simple, just includes "plantae" (botany, my major) and "st" – stands for "studio". Well, it's not a meaningless name either. I think I've thought it through, I'll wait until tomorrow. Phac (talk) 12:05, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

- New Username: Ryanov (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This was my account name on en.wikipedia.org before the 2015 changes. I was then renamed to Ryanov~enwiki. It appears as if there was once a contributor on es.wikipedia.org with my username, and they made some edits to one page in 2007 and none since. I would like to have this username back, if possible, since this person doesn't seem to be using it anyway.
- Sorry but usurpation is a option for "users who have notable contributions on wikis". So I decline your request. Regards. Vincent Vega msg? 19:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Apologies for the delayed response; I didn't get any notification. Are you saying that my are not presently notable enough to be able to usurp that account? I don't have any problem with that answer, I just want to make I understood you correctly. Ruryanov (talk) 17:40, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My present username is a personal nickname, hence, I would like to rebrand myself on Wikipedia in a more objective/less-personal name that is simple and also understandable to EnWiki users. Moreover, the user account hasn't contributed since 2007 (15 years ago).
- Dear @Nunuxxx: All edits are live. Can you select another username please? Vincent Vega msg? 22:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Are "Sempiternal", "Serendipitous", "Citadel", "Celestial", or "Salient" available as usernames? Thanks. – Nunuxxx (talk) 09:51, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- I will check. You can check also on XTools. I will inform you. Vincent Vega msg? 22:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've just checked XTools. I would really like the username Atlas which has a few live edits, but is a sockpuppet account, would it be possible to have this one, please? If not, as a second preference, I'd like the username Olympian. Many thanks – Nunuxxx (talk) 02:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

- Old Username: Nicolabel (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Argeste (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Seventeen years after my first edit in Wikipedia, as a sysop in it.wp I'd like to better preserve personal information, as the current name can be easily associated with my personal details. I believe that the renaming will also be in the interest of Wikipedia, as it would let me act on touchy subjects with no worries about possible extra-wiki pressures. The chosen name made edits just for one day in one project in 2006. Thank you.
- Ciao @Nicolabel: Purtroppo Argeste ha contributi validi (immagini caricate ancora esistenti). Purtroppo non è possibile usurparlo in questi casi, in realtà le vecchie policy di commons (non più in vigore) consentono di farlo - in presenza di contributi validi - solo e soltanto in caso di consenso esplicita da parte dell'utente, soprattutto per mantenere la paternità dei contenuti. Se vuoi potremmo provare a contattarlo ma temo che, non essendo più attivo, non risponderà mai! Il mio consiglio è quello di selezionare un altro nome utente (o di inserire dei numeri in modo che differisca leggermente). Fammi sapere come intendi procedere. Superpes15 (talk) 12:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- I also ask @1997kB and Vincent Vega: for an opinion. I noticed that there are very few edits and the images are not used in the ns0 on wiki (except for an image that was not uploaded by them and originally it was on dewiki). Can we usurp in these cases iyho? Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 15:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Superpes15: In my opinion we should not get this user’s edits enough notable for avoiding usurpation. Account used for only 6 hours. Regards. Vincent Vega msg? 18:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

- For the record, this user didn't respond in email also. @Vincent Vega Thanks for your action, in such cases it's best to leave it for email sender because you don't know what happened on the email. —MdsShakil (talk) 14:06, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- I was observing and waited for 2 more days after extra 15 days @MdsShakil:. Anyway you are right I could leave for your action however only i did it without any further though. Thanks. Vincent Vega msg? 15:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

KingisNitro to usurp Kormi
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: KingisNitro (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Kormi (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi, I'm KingisNitro mostly appearing on EN-Wiki and SK-Wiki and I wanted to check whether it'd be possible to change my username to Kormi. It seems according to Global account information that user Kormi exists on PL-Wiki, but they've only done 22 edits (last edit is 3 weeks old and all other are 2,5+ years old). It also seems that account is not global, as Wikimedia says "User account "Kormi" is not registered." I want to request this name change because Kormi is a nickname I use irl. Thank you for checking and letting me know!
Not done KingisNitro This account has made edits recently, which means this is an active account and it is not available for usurp. MetaWiki says they are not registered because they did not create an account in Meta. —MdsShakil (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response! How long would an account need to be dead to be up for usurpation? KingisNitro (talk) 19:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
Italia Ispania
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Italia Ispania (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Sipuha (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I have lots of edits and want to change the username/ The holder of new username apparently doesn't have any edit at all, could be wrong tho.
On hold until 25 October 2022. User notified via talk page and an e-mail has been sent. Vincent Vega msg? 19:31, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Italia Ispania and Vincent Vega: The target user objected the usurpation. 49.182.199.125 05:34, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- What then? He has NO edits un articles! I think i deserve the username more.Italia Ispania (talk) 05:37, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Italia Ispania: According to Template:Usurpation requested, if a user objected the usurpation, the usurpation will be prevented.
49.182.199.125 06:08, 28 September 2022 (UTC)If you object to being renamed, please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation.
Not done @Italia Ispania:, @Sipuha: clearly objected. Please select another username. Regards. Vincent Vega msg? 10:45, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
New Account to Usurp 911
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: New Account to Usurp 911 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: 911 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I (User:HouseBlaster) would like to have this account redirect to User:Emergency. Therefore, I would like to usurp this account. The current User:911 has made two edits in 2005, the second of which was to undo the first.
--New Account to Usurp 911 (talk) 17:25, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- The above is true. HouseBlaster (talk) 17:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Strong oppose as proposed. This would make people expect Special:EmailUser/911 to go to the same place as Special:EmailUser/Emergency, when it would not. But I like the general idea! If this is to be done, the new User:911 account should be given to someone at T&S. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 05:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Very good point. I have reached out to T&S; we shall see what they say. I do think leaving the talk page message would be beneficial, to get the 30 day clock started. If this usurpation happens, I would not redirect the userpage and would consent to usurpation by T&S, which would eliminate the wait time. However, I am also fine with this being closed as {{not done}}. HouseBlaster (talk) 20:22, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, just to confirm we did receive the email, and discussed this internally. We're declining at this time, since the account might imply that emailing it may reach actual US law enforcement, which is not the case. It is also an emergency number in only one part of the world, and we have no plans to also use e.g. 000, 999, 112... for the same purpose. I hope that makes sense. :) Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 23:12, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
