Revision as of 21:10, 20 January 2008
- This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist. If you want your account renamed to a name that is not already taken, please see 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 wish to request usurpation, please read follow the instructions below. The account you want to usurp should have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation, although rare exceptions are made where old edits do not require attribution under the GFDL. 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.

Notes
- When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
- Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
- The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
- This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
- Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.
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.

Current requests
Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list. The current UTC date is 6 November 2024.
January 12, 2008
Requests left here will be filled no earlier than January 20, 2008.
Sir ← IamMarkBlake
- Current username: IamMarkBlake (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Target username: Sir (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 00:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
IamMarkBlake (talk) 00:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note:
The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 01:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: A user already has the name Sir on the German Wikipedia where he is an administrator and has just under 40,000 edits [1]. If plans to harmonise usernames across Wikimedia projects produce results (for example single user login) he probably will have the best claim to using the name Sir across all projects. Do you still want to be renamed to Sir given the risk that, should usernames later be unified across Wikimedia projects, you may need to be renamed again at that stage? WjBscribe 17:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, simply because my primary goal at this point is to reduce the visibility of my real name. So if at some point we start harmonizing across the Project I'll just come up with something more creative. But I'll cross that bridge when we get to it. So I'll go ahead and run the risk of having to change my name again. IamMarkBlake (talk) 06:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Requests left here will be filled no earlier than January 22, 2008.
The Librarian ← Librarianofages
- Current username: Librarianofages (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Target username: The Librarian (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 04:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 04:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note:
The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.- The target username has no deleted edits logged.
- The current owner of the username has been notified of this usurpation request.
- The current owner of this username does not have an email address specified.
- Although, a bureaucrat might be willing to disregard the two edits and perform the rename anyway. I (talk) 04:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: As the two edits in question are to a test page and the account's own userspace respectively, the rename raises no attribution issues. I am willing to perform this usurpation request provided the target account does not object in the next 7 days. WjBscribe 04:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
January 16, 2008
Requests left here will be filled no earlier than January 24, 2008.
Himm ← Hello world! 66
- Current username: Hello world! 66 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Target username: Himm (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 01:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
Helloworld! 66 01:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Note: Himm is my username on Commons. Helloworld! 66 01:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note:
- This user has made contributions on another Wikimedia project (Commons:User:Himm), this may be a barrier to usurpation.
- The user does have edits on Commons with this username, but only ten, and he would not normally qualify for usurpation here. I do not believe there is precedent on how active a user must be on another project to use the unifying cross project as a reason to waive the lack of edits on en. seresin wasn't he just...? 02:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi! How many edits do I need to have? I use Wikipedia every day! I don't often fix things. Helloworld! 66 02:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

- — Qst 21:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Clerk note: A user has accounts on other wikis all linking back to their french username fr:User:Tex. However they have made very few edits and their last one was in 2006, so I don't think it will be an issue, however if anyone here has a french account could you try to contact them by email? if they have one --Chris 02:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
