Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations: Difference between revisions

This page was a forum where users could request, and global renamers (including Stewards) familiar with local usurpation guidelines, could consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames primarily held locally. This consisted of renaming an existing account in order to vacate the username and allow another user to take it.

This venue is now closed, and any new usurpation requests should be made at meta:Steward requests/Username changes (see meta:Help:Unified login). If you want your account renamed to a name that is still available, please use Special:GlobalRenameRequest or Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple.

Qephir → Kephir

Status:     In progress

• Current username: Qephir (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 22:38, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
• Reason: Error while registering. The other account was also me. The password is a long string of random characters which I did not write down, so now I am unable to log into that. I really do not like that Q. I am afraid I might not be able to meet the threshold for a quite some time, but... I would rather let the word out before I put my signature on too many pages.

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 03:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
• Reason: The user appears to have adpoted a new name (I.e. Golbez) and I was hoping that I might use "Andrew". It happens to be my name.

AnomieBOT⚡ 03:55, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 Bureaucrat note: There are a lot of incoming links to User talk:Andrew ([1]). I am worried that granting this request will cause confusion. Have you discussed it with Golbez (talk · contribs)? WJBscribe (talk) 20:28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I have let Golbez know that I am trying to usurp "Andrew" and he has indicated that he is happy with this. I have not talked about this specific issue. Should I raise it with Golbez, or do I need to fix those links? The most recent appears to be from 2008 so perhaps it is not a problem, but there are less than 100 so fixing them all is doable. Cheers Andrew (talk) 23:53, 27 June 2012 (UTC) (Just to confuse things my signature is already Andrew).

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 08:41, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
• Reason: I was hasty in picking my username. I was starting off with kink articles but want to branch out to at least one other completely unrelated topic area. I would rather my 'kink' name not raise confusion or prejudice if I am working in other places. The new username is an old account that was never used. As far as I can figure from the pages that's OK to request. If it's not please let me know and I'll pick another unregistered name.

For the last six months or so I've been signing as Mohamed CJ without getting into any trouble. I want my old username back. Also, when renaming happened I wasn't aware of WP:Activist, which caused me few problems [4] [5]. Currently User:Mohamed CJ redirects to User:Bahraini Activist. I've accidently made 3 edits with User:Mohamed CJ about two weeks after the renaming took place.
