![]() | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
![]() | This page is no longer accepting new requests. New usurpation requests should be made on Meta Wiki. For more information, see the relevant RFC. |
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.

Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list. It is 08:12:24, 11 June 2025 (UTC).

Mand WANdisco → Mand Beckett
Status: Done
- Current username: Mand WANdisco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Target username: Mand Beckett (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
- Datestamp: 13:19, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Reason: I had previously registered the username Mand Beckett, in June 2012, but could not remember the password or the email address associated with it, so I registered a new username (Mand WANdisco). I am advised that this breaches some rule, as it contains the name of a company rather than being obviously my real name.
Can you please merge these accounts, or rename Mand WANdisco to Mand Beckett? Mand WANdisco (talk) 13:19, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Note:
The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.

Siddhantgoel → Siddhant Goel
Status: Done
- Current username: Siddhantgoel (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Target username: Siddhant Goel (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
- Datestamp: 08:35, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Reason: "Siddhant Goel" is my real name and the username on all my internet services. I don't want my surname to appear beginning with a smallcase letter, and since the other account doesn't seem to have any significant edits (their only edit is an edit to their user page, which was in July 2011), I'd like to take the "Siddhant Goel" username, if it's possible. Thank you.

Done. The user "Siddhant Goel" has been renamed to "Siddhant Goel (usurped)" and the user "Siddhantgoel" has been renamed to "Siddhant Goel". -- Avi (talk) 23:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

- I meant for this to apply to my SUL and I confess I don't understand the instructions. Now I seem to have two usernames. I was expecting my old username would be vacated after this process. Sorry if I misunderstood the instructions. TimL • talk 11:14, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
