*Reason: I would like to adopt my SUL Monk also on en.wikipedia.org, as per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login. I own SUL "Monk", see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Monk (with confirmation that I, en:Monkbel, own that page). en:Monk is not active. Thanks

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 05:10:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC) (Update).

None (SUL request) → Shoemaker

Status:     In progress

Technical 13 (talk) 14:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • This user has made contributions on another Wikimedia project (hewiki), this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. No SUL account exists for the target user. 4 non-enwiki unattached accounts exist with this name, with 11 total edits. Requesting user has 3960 undeleted edits and 139 deleted edits, for a total of 4099 edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the requesting user, with 4346 total edits on 24 wikis. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: I remain of the view that this request should be declined (see my comments here). The reduction in available names following SUL finalisation makes me even more reluctant (not less) to allow usurpation of accounts that will not be used. I will however leave it to another bureaucrat to decide this request. WJBscribe (talk) 17:22, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Could you clarify what you would do with "Shoemaker" once it's usurped. I see that we'd be usurping it with what appears to be your main account and that you already own an inactive doppelganger at "ShoeMaker." I'm not sure WJB is following that distinction and I want to clarify it. MBisanz talk 22:14, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The "Shoemaker" doppelganger of "ShoeMaker" would only be used for testing Scripts and templates as the ShoeMaker account currently is for. I've most recently been testing Writ Keeper's orangeBar.js with the extra account. It would also be useful to have the SUL for this account for other script testing like for the WP:AFCH script I've been working on improving. The SUL for this account would make it easy to do testing for which I could use an extra user with different user rights on Test.Wikipedia where I am an administrator for testing improvements to the AFCH script. Other than script testing purposes, this account would not be used for any purposes. This account would never be involved in any discussions or consensus forming and would never be used to vandalism Wikipedia in anyway. Technical 13 (talk) 22:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 3, 2013

Requests left here should be addressed on or before May 11, 2013.

Faizan Al-Badri → Faizan

Status:     In progress

Note:
  • This user has made contributions on another Wikimedia project (enwiktionary), this may be a barrier to usurpation.

AnomieBOT⚡ 05:28, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And I want to have the global account under the name "Faizan", Please! I want a unified login. Faizan -Let's talk! 15:57, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If not possible, I can request Usurpation on other Wikis too. Faizan -Let's talk! 15:59, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: This request looks OK, but we need to wait 7 days from notification of the target user to give them a chance to object. WJBscribe (talk) 10:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beryll → Adamantane

Status:     On hold

Please rename this user once you'll have the confirmation from user Beryll. Thanks by advance. Quentinv57 11:13, 7 May 2013 (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 1 undeleted edit and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary frwiki) exists for the target user, with 1365 total edits on 53 wikis. The local account is NOT attached.

 On hold pending confirmation of this request by Beryll (talk · contribs). WJBscribe (talk) 14:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

None (SUL request) → Shisen

Status:     Done

151.77.176.27 (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • This user has made contributions on another Wikimedia project (itwiki), this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary itwiki) exists for the target user, with 38 total edits on 27 wikis. The local account is NOT attached. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - SUL request. WJBscribe (talk) 15:48, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alan.lorenzo → Alan

Status:     Done

Alan Lorenzo (talk) 15:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • This user has made contributions on another Wikimedia project (incubatorwiki), this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. No SUL account exists for the target user. 66 non-enwiki unattached accounts exist with this name, with 297 total edits. Requesting user has 262 undeleted edits and 3 deleted edits, for a total of 265 edits. An SUL account (primary eswiki) exists for the requesting user, with 13259 total edits on 698 wikis. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold. I think it best for this request to be determined at your home wiki first, to avoid inconsistent outcomes that would complicate SUL finalisation. If your request on eswiki is granted, it seems fine to rename you here. Please let us know the outcome of that request. WJBscribe (talk) 15:55, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, changed on eswiki (and other wikis). es:Wikipedia:Cambiar_el_nombre_de_usuario#Alan.lorenzo_.E2.86.92_Alan. Thanks. --Alan Lorenzo (talk) 16:22, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - SUL request. WJBscribe (talk) 16:30, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bmike8 → Bmike

Status:     In progress

Bmike8 (talk) 17:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
  • The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.
  • Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the target user, with 0 total edits on 1 wiki. Requesting user has 62 edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the requesting user, with 62 total edits on 5 wikis. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: I'm not sure why (as it has no edits, does not appear to have been recently created, and does not appear to have been previously renamed) but the target account is already a global one. I don't think I can rename you successfully without the global account being deleted first. You can request this at Meta:Steward requests/SUL requests. WJBscribe (talk) 20:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the guidance on moving this forward. I have made a steward request and hope it makes sense to them. Bmike8 (talk) 16:09, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A steward has actioned your request, so you can now be renamed after 7 days from your notification of the target user (to give them a chance to object). WJBscribe (talk) 20:50, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LeJulienC → LeJC

Status:     Done

LeJulienC (talk) 16:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

Note: I did not let any message on the talk page of the user being usurped because it is me (see there). It seems the SUL of my main account on the French Wikipedia, "LeJC", was activated automatically on May, 6th, 2013, (and created an account on the English Wikipedia) that's why I need now to usurp this empty account without any contributions (which belongs to me) to rename the one with my contributions (LeJulienC) on the English Wikipedia. LeJulienC (talk) 18:10, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - SUL request. WJBscribe (talk) 20:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
