*Reason: I already am Ancheta Wis for all the unified logins except meta-wiki (Wikimedia). I have not been able to use Ancheta Wis since I attended Wikimania 2006, back then I did not use e-mail on Wikipedia, but I do now (except for the original Ancheta Wis on wikimedia). See the meta-wiki for the original request from yesterday. Thank you

Shortcuts
This page is for requests to take over an account name that is already registered. If you want your account renamed to a name that is still available, please use Special:GlobalRenameRequest or Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple.

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

Please note that global accounts whose "home wiki" is another project or which have significant attachments on other projects cannot be usurped here; these requests must be made at meta:Steward requests/Username changes (see meta:Help:Unified login).

A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

  • The account you want to usurp must have the English Wikipedia as its "home wiki", i.e. or should be displayed next to the en.wikipedia.org entry for the account at Special:CentralAuth.
  • The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries to qualify for usurpation (though rare exceptions are made in some circumstances). This includes edits or log actions on other Wikimedia projects. These can be checked through Special:CentralAuth.
  • Please do not request usurpation of another account if your own user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.

Instructions

  1. Log in to your present account.
    • Please do not leave a talk page message or e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a user familiar with the usurpation process will do so.
  2. Click here to place your request.
    1. Replace "TARGET NAME" with the username you wish to usurp.
    2. Replace "YOUR REASON" with a description of why you want to usurp the account.
    3. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
If the URL above does not work, simply copy the following text, click "edit this page" and paste it at the bottom of the page. Modify it as indicated.
{{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}}
Advanced usage
For requests involving renaming an account other than your logged in account, use this:
{{subst:usurp|CURRENT NAME|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}}
For usurp only requests, which leaves your logged in account untouched, set the usurponly parameter to yes:
{{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|usurponly=yes|reason=YOUR REASON}}
To add an optional non default signature, use the sig parameter:
{{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON|sig=OPTIONAL SIGNATURE}}
  1. Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "Publish changes".
  2. Your request is now complete and ready to be processed after the hold period (usually about a week). If the owner of the target account does not object, a global renamer will fulfill your request provided other requirements are met. Do not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list. It is currently 19:33:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC) (Update).

Pierrot de Lioncourt → Carrousel

Status:     Done

190.110.155.227 (talk) 16:22, 24 June 2011 (UTC) Carrousel[reply]

Request on hold until the 11th of July so the username can meet the time requirements. As well, a note will need to be left on the target's talk page (which I will do in a second). If the target user consents to the usurpation, this will be processeed when convenient however.
I want to change my solicitude: I want to rename this user to Carrousel, is pocible? for the date of the term (11 july). Pierrot de Lioncourt (talk) 13:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, no problem. (Identity is verified). –xenotalk 13:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • Target user has 5 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary eswiki) exists for the target user, with 6507 total edits on 67 wikis. The local account is NOT attached. 2 non-enwiki unattached accounts exist with this name, with 6 total edits. Requesting user has 10 edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the requesting user, with 26 total edits on 10 wikis. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.

  •  Not done; as far as I know, it is not possible that you set this account up recently, because it has been an account since the year 2002. The target account has made at least one license-significant edit, here. To the extent that we typically grant usurpation requests only to established users, I would ask you to create a new account with a different name (or request renaming of the "SHtemp" account to a name that is not taken), edit using that account, and re-request this when your account has been established at which point a determination will be made whether or not to grant the request in light of the license-significant edit. –xenotalk 13:44, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Huh? Let me get this straight: You are "Mateustz" at pt-wiki and you are "Mateustz" here, right? And you want to have your account here renamed to Hallel? Why? You yourself created the "Mateustz" account here on August 30, 2010 (and made 20+ edits before coming here). Regards SoWhy 15:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think their goal is to ensure the name is available here before they proceed with the pt rename. It looks fine after the hold period. –xenotalk 16:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's right friends, I guarantee renaming my account here to rename it after the pt-Wiki. Thanks in advance. Mateustz (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Status:     In progress

ModernGeek (talk) 00:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: There are several Prestons on different projects, all of which could want to unify their accounts, which would give them a stronger claim to the name. You might want to choose a name that is unique instead. Regards SoWhy 15:08, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: I fixed the request since it looks as if want to have the same rename here that they had at de-wiki. Regards SoWhy 15:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am already renamed, but the account on enwiki still isn't renamed because there is the account User:Usquam. --92.74.120.154 (talk) 15:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's the point, yes. You were renamed at de-wiki but not here, so your old "Atlan da Gonozal" account here also needs to be renamed to "Usquam" for you to keep your contributions attributed to your username. Regards SoWhy 15:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
