[[:|WP:CHU/U
WP:USURP]]

This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist in the circumstances described below. If you wish to request a rename to a username that is not already taken, please do so at Wikipedia:Changing username.

This page permits users to request, and bureaucrats to consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing dormant account in order to permit another user to adopt the name. If you are interested in usurping another username, please be advised that the account must have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation. A request may also be rejected if it is determined that the requested account has made edits that were subsequently deleted.

Please do not request usurpation if your 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.

Process

Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests may be rejected.

Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries, as described above.
Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (preferably of the form {{subst:usurpation requested}} ~~~~) notifying the user of your request.
Please do not e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a bureaucrat or other designated user will do it.
Copy and paste the following text into the bottom of the section on this page for today's date.

{{subst:usurp|Name_To_Usurp|Current_Name}} ~~~~

Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change if you wish. Be sure you are logged in under your current username. Save the page.

If the owner of the target account does not object within seven days, a bureaucrat will fulfill your request. Mark the date, so you will not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.

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.

Instructions to bureaucrats

Accounts should be renamed to "Username (usurped)" -- this is intuitive and is unlikely ever to be a desired account name. The links labeled '1' and '2' will automatically fill out the user renaming interface with the proper information.
If a user consents to have his account usurped, the request may be fulfilled immediately, rather than after the full waiting period.
Mark completed requests with {{done}} and rejected requests with {{not done}}. A bot will archive them.

Note: EdBoy hasn't edited since June of last year, and they were all very minor edits. I really like EdBoy better than my current username because the numbers seem unnecessary. ~Ed B oy^[c] 22:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
Clerk note: No matter how minor the edit, we still must recognize it. Greeves ^{(talk • contribs • reviews)} 22:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But nothing happens unless we ask for consent, right? Otherwise, what's going on on the rest of these pages? ~Ed B oy^[c] 23:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting point...the user name does have an email set and the rules do state the target username can give consent... -N 06:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shade ← Shade (usurper), Nihiltres

Current username: Nihiltres, using Shade (usurper) (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Shade (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 15:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: Email target username; (1); (2)
Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 15:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Robot clerk's notes: Shade (usurper) does not have any history of being renamed in the logs HBC RenameClerkBot 19:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Special note: I do not wish to be renamed, I specially wish to usurp the account for use as a legitimate sockpuppet. For this purpose I will create the account User:Shade (usurper) if this request is fulfilled. I don't think this is a usual process, so if there is another place at which I can request to usurp this unused username, please move this there. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 15:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to usurp the Shade username, you will first have to create the account User:Shade (usurper). You must have an account already to usurp the username with. I'm not entirely sure a bureaucrat will usurp an account for a Doppelganger account, but you can always try. Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 22:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, I created the account and I'm not counting on anything. If a bureaucrat doesn't think it's reasonable, I don't have a problem with a refusal - I want this username mainly because it is another of my primary pseudonyms, and I don't think the user in question plans to edit. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 15:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doppelganger accounts are no longer used as the MediaWiki software that Wikipedia is using has been programmed to not accept new accounts that are too similar to another current username. Therefore, this request should be declined or withdrawn. E ^talk 22:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a doppelganger request, this is a request for a particular name for a legitimate sockpuppet. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 01:35, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.

This username has not been checked by an administrator for deleted contributions.
The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.

I'm unsure whether the bureaucrats will be willing to fulfil this request. On the one hand it meets the requirements, but on the other Shade is likely to be quite a popular name. Allocating it to someone who will make little use of it seems a waste. It might be helpful if you gave further details of what you plan to use this account for. WjBscribe 14:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As it looks like you won't use it for anything I'm not prepared to usurp it. Secretlondon 23:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem for which I was going to apply this was resolved, and my primary alternate use doesn't apply yet. If that alternate use applies in the future, I'll reapply appropriately. Sorry for any trouble. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 13:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk's note. Japanese Kazutoko (who is ja:User:Kazutoko) has explained on the opposite talk page [1] that he goes by User:Kazutoko on several other WikiMedia projects. He has made a statement on his talk page on the Japanese Wikipedia to verify this [2]. The target username, en:User:Kazutoko has made one edit [3] which claims he is ja:User:Kazutoko, but ja:User:Kazutoko states this is false. That edit was in January 2007. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The user creation log is only a couple of years old I think, any account created before the log existed won't show up (though the account will still be on the list of users). WjBscribe 11:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
