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 22:57:15, 21 May 2024 (UTC) (Update).

OiseauTemp → Oiseau

OiseauTemp (talk) 10:45, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Account has been dormant with no edits or entries since it was registered 3 years ago. OiseauTemp (talk) 11:30, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Bureaucrat note: Are you the current Japanese Wiki user? MBisanz talk 19:25, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
-Hello! I am not the jpwiki user, no. At this point, since the jp user seems active and I do not wish to step on any active accounts, I do not plan to pursue the full SUL at this time, but I would like to proceed with the name change on this enWiki, since English is my native language and since the current account here has never made any entries or edits, and appears to be completely inactive. I put the request code in their Talk Page also, per the process. --OiseauTemp (talk) 10:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...Just checking in, ..did I post my reply to you in the right place, or should I respond in another spot, or..? :) ..OiseauTemp (talk) 21:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was to the right place. The issue is that the Japanese user has a better claim to the english wikipedia username than you do, so if I gave it to you, I would be wrongfully infringing his claim. Is there any other variant of the username that would work for you? MBisanz talk 06:14, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah.. Has the jp user made a claim then? Also if it may also be of any assistance, I am indeed the Oiseau at several other wikis, including fr (France), where it is my goal to assist in correcting glitches in material translated between the French and English wikis, among other causes. OiseauTemp (talk) 11:39, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, ok, owning the frwiki account might give you a decent claim to it then, I just want to get the opinion of another crat since I am somewhat need to the job. MBisanz talk 17:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My feeling is that this rename can't be carried out. The jpwiki user has the global claim and is actively editing. The requestor could ask the jpwiki user – could work something out with them – but before that, this is probably a no. The practice is typically to decline requests that infringe on an active user's global claim. It might be prudent to get a third crat opinion, just for the sake of certainty. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 22:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, fair enough :) I didn't realize there was a global claim on it. I didn't see any other claims made on the en Oiseau talk page other than mine.
If you wish then I would be happy to ask the jp user if they would relinquish the claim, and if not, then as you say it might be best to leave the account dormant, because of conflicting claims (although could you give me a link to this other claim? I cannot locate it). Beyond that and in my own defense, I humbly submit that I also am active... if you add up my editing (about 20 in one month, compared to their 50 in a year), my pace is not all that different, if not more fervent... although I admit all of this unexpected turmoil does dampen my spirits a bit. I see all the other approvals and could not see any substantial difference with mine. I've received no email notifications of a challenge or global claim from the jp user, or from any crats, nor have I been able to locate any global claims to the en name online :/
I have been honest and upfront about not being the jp user too, and if there are any additional submissions you wish that I could post in order to help prove my identity on the other 4 wikis, I would be more than glad to provide them... feel free to ask.
In the meantime, I would be happy to ask the jp user if they would not mind letting me claim the en name.
...Thanks, OiseauTemp (talk) 13:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE - I have posted a request on the jp user talk page (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/利用者‐会話:Oiseau, or if your browser has a more standard url field interpreter, http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85%E2%80%90%E4%BC%9A%E8%A9%B1:Oiseau), and also sent them an email using the form (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/特別:ウィキメール/Oiseau). I hope these duties are in compliance with your requests of me.
If they do answer no, then I would be glad (as MBisanz mentioned above at 6:14, 6 Sept. 2009) to accept the name Oiseaux instead, though Oiseau is still preferable unless the jp user disputes it, in which case I believe the fair thing would be to leave the account dormant. Thanks, OiseauTemp (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have put an identification entry on the bottom of my Discussion Page at the frWiki (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:Oiseau), if that can be of assistance to you as well. OiseauTemp (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...My most humble pardons, but please may I ask some questions?

  • According to the bot below (which someone else initiated here a few days ago), I have met the qualifications for the rename on the enWiki. Does this mean we are in a 7 day waiting period now for the conversion from the time stamp on the bot?
  • I placed the global claim before the jpUser, and followed the protocol of contacting them. They never contacted me, but today I see that my homewiki has been changed from fr (which it was originally) to jp ... is something unethical going on somewhere?
  • Oiseau is the French word for bird. I would like to see the homewiki returned there, please.
  • Was a 3rd crat ever asked to help with this, as you suggested above?
  • ...The distilled version of this entire pursuit is I just want to synchronize my edits between my accounts at the Meta, the Commons, the enWiktionary, the FrWiki, and the enWiki, which is the only missing link. I placed my request well in advance on an account that is dormant/abandoned and followed all the rules that I could find. Just peeking in here to see if there is anything else you need, or just see if there is anything in motion, and if it is still a few days more in a waiting period. Thanks OiseauTemp (talk) 11:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the jpwiki user is actively editing, there should be no problem getting an answer from him/her on whether he/she minds your taking this account. If he/she doesn't mind, then I have no problem with it, certainly. — Dan | talk 17:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-Hello Dan, and thanks for looking at this and your gracious comment. If you or anyone else might be able to contact them, it would be also appreciated. I have not had success contacting this person previously via email or their talk page, but I am trying again, first via email, as of today.
OiseauTemp (talk) 08:16, 14 September 2009 (UTC) - (Just a small note to update.. two emails sent, one in English and one in Japanese)... OiseauTemp (talk) 07:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've clarified your request on his jpwiki talk page. With luck he'll reply soon with a yes or no. — Dan | talk 04:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

.. - Thanks Dan. If he/she doesn't respond soon, we can just drop it and file it, and let the enWiki Oiseau just remain as it is, if you please. That is unless you feel enough time will have elapsed to complete the Changing Username for me at that point.

Two things also I've been wondering, just thinking out loud here for a moment.. I keep kicking myself for not going ahead with filing my own SUL when I was considering it a few days before the jp user. I was under the impression that if other people were actively using the names, you either could not or should not encroach on them. I was not aware you could file it and the software would still initiate the process on unclaimed accounts.
Here is the evidence that I was going to claim the global SUL of Oiseau nearly a week before the jp user, but I did not push because I did not know I could do so at that point.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/SUL/Rejected/3#None_.28SUL_request.29_.E2.86.92_Oiseau (it is in the rejected file only because I withdrew it and didn't pursue it).
The other thing I've been kicking myself about is that I keep wondering if I might actually be the enWiki user but lost my password years ago. I can't be certain though and I've been looking at a few old computers to see if I can find any records of that ;P ..Thanks again anyways for your modest vigil, and I guess I will check back here to see how things are going after a day or two.
..Thanks again, OiseauTemp (talk) 23:24, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, Oiseau@jpwiki is unwilling to give up the account (see [1]). Sorry about this; SUL conflicts are very frustrating. Let me know if you'd like another username, and I'll take care of it. — Dan | talk 01:59, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dan... Thank you again for your concern. The most frustrating thing in all this is simply the way it feels very one-sided, as if no one is requiring the same of the jp user as has been required of me.

- in order to initiate global unification, the interface says that one must login at the home wiki. I owned the home wiki last month... when was that given away without asking me?, even though I've had to ask the jp user for a blessing re: the en wiki (which is not even theirs, and we still never got a response from them until you asked them)
- the jp user never contacted me before taking my home wiki from my fr account... when did this happen and how did it happen and why didn't they have to ask me, as I've been waiting and waiting and having to ask them for this and that? Didn't I follow the protocols, and why didn't they?
- the clue bot said I met all qualifications for my request, to ONLY claim the en wiki, but it hasn't happened. I think the fair thing would be to deliver on that request, or if it remains in dispute, to leave the account alone.

re: having another user name... I'd love to know the answers to the above questions, but if they are too much bother to look into, I did say (near the beginning of this inquiry) that the name Oiseaux would be fine as an alternative (they have only made one small edit many years ago), but I am still left with a rather unfulfilled, betrayed feeling ... as I'd like to know where the missteps were, and if there was anything I could have done otherwise, or if perhaps something actually went wrong in the process (like giving away my home wiki without asking me) which could be fixed/reversed. OiseauTemp (talk) 18:28, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. I am sorry but a global account was created by the jawiki user (the decision about which account is the "home wiki" is made by automatically by the software based on which instance of a given name has the most edits - no one decided to give the homr wiki to someone else) and so they now have the best claim to usurp the name "Oiseau" on other projects. If I renamed the current user "Oiseau" on this project, the name would be reserved to the global account which is controlled by the jawiki editor. You will also find that you are unable to create accounts called "Oiseau" on projects where that name is not yet taken. I am not sure what the entire history of these issues are, but if it is right that the software once recognised your account has the home wiki, you could have created a global account then yourself via Special:MergeAccount before the jawiki user did so.
I am also not willing to rename you to "Oiseaux" as the home wiki for that account is a user on frwiki who has made non-trivial edits on that project. If you would like to be renamed to a different name, which doesn't have significant edits to any Wikimedia project, you should make a new request.

Dalejenkins → Dale

  • SoxBot Beta has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot (talk) 16:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a User:Dale on the English Wikipedia, thought that account has no edits (so this request should really be at WP:CHU/U). There are also users called Dale on other projects - the one with most edits contributes to the Japanese language Wikipedia. Are you User:Dale on the Japanese language Wikipedia? WJBscribe (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If I am reading the language right, the jawiki Dale hasn't edited since 2007, so I doubt they are the same person. MBisanz talk 17:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Bureaucrat note: Moved from WP:CHU. Notifying Dale now. As to the jawiki user – has not edited since 2007, so I don't think a rename here will be a problem. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 01:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I personally would not perform this request. Rights to the global account lie with a user on jawiki, who therefore has the best claim to usurp the name here. I would not perform a rename where this will have the effect of changing priorities for a global account, and of creating an additional cross-wiki conflict for that account. I don't like the idea of making a contrary decision based on the activity of that user without knowing how the jawiki community and bureaucrat feel about usurpation. However, as other bureaucrats have expressed contrary views, I will not decline it. WJBscribe (talk) 22:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to take these global claim intrusion requests on a case-by-case basis. In this case, slightly over 50 edits were made more than two years ago. This strikes me as a significantly long period – long enough to allow the infringement of the global claim. I do recall declining a request with a similar number of edits and one year of inactivity – again, it's a case-by-case operation that hinges on bureaucrat discretion and a weighted evaluation of the facts. Since a bureaucrat has expressed hesitancy, I'd encourage other bureaucrats to refrain from performing the rename until we have further bureaucrat input. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 00:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Granting this request would not, to my mind, be that different from granting the usurpation of the jawiki account (as the ultimate goal of SUL is to have only one person with each name across all projects). I have no idea what the views of the jawiki community are about usurping accounts with this level of contributions and think that sort of decision needs to be left to jawiki bureaucrats.

Drew R. Smith → Ender The Xenocide

- Drew Smith What I've done 07:34, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that user:Ender The Xenocide is a confirmed and admited sockpuppet of mine. It was automatically created when I created an account at commons. As soon as I realized the account had been created I asked for it to be blocked. Now I would like a fresh start, with my contributions carried over to the new name. - Drew Smith What I've done 07:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • This user was created less than 6 months ago, such usernames may not be usurped. You can file another request when the username is older than 6 months.

 Bureaucrat note: You requested a rename a short time ago. If I remember correctly, concern was expressed that a rename might not be entirely appropriate, given your position at the time. I'd like to know whether feelings on this have changed. I'm not able to comment either way, since I'm not properly aware of the events which led to hesitancy with your last request. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 16:17, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, thats all over. The concern was that at the time I was facing a block, and people didn't want to confuse matters more. Now that the block is over however, it shouldn't be a problem. - Drew Smith What I've done 00:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Drew, I'm unhappy that you made this request without mentioning the previously declined request [2], which a bureaucrat reviewing this request might not have known about. I think you need to explain more fully why the concerns that leaded to a number of established users objecting to you being renamed have now been addressed, especially as you seem not to have edited at all between the discussion on WP:ANI about your conduct and making this request. It might be a good idea to have some of those who expressed concerns previously confirm here that they now feel a rename would be appropriate.
As far as I saw in the last request, most people (jack excluded) only expressed concern about the rename at that time. The position seemed to be that people didn't want a rename in the middle of the block/ban discussions to complicate things. If memory serves me, at least one editor mentioned that "after the block, a rename would be fine". - Drew Smith What I've done 01:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I would like to know more about the circumstances in which the name you are requesting was created and blocked. You say you asked for it to be blocked but the block reason is "Abusing multiple accounts" which seems odd. What abuse was occuring? WJBscribe (talk) 13:45, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I two wondered about the block reason. It was suggested at WP:ANI that I do some work at other projects, so one of the first venues I tried was commons. Unfortunately none of the passwords I normally use worked with my current username, so I had to create a new account there. In creating an account there an account was automatically created here. When I navigated back to WP after creating the account at commons I was already logged in under the new username here. As soon as I realized this I asked in the ANI discussion for it to be blocked, so people wouldn't accuse me of sockpuppetry. - Drew Smith What I've done 01:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is inappropriate to seek a rename just after a month long block (that was an indef, for a bit). Many of the questions from last month remain unanswered, such as the nonsense about your account being hacked to file an arbitration request. Best route forward for this user is to come clean about things and to do something useful; hoping to reincarnate under a new name is evasive. Sincerely, Jack Merridew 08:56, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see how it is inappropriate. For one, I was already trying to get a namechange before the block. Two, the block was in response to new evidence in an old case. I have already come clean about everything. There is nothing left to "admit".
    If I wanted to be evasive, Jack, I wouldn't have requested a name change. It would be an extremely simple matter to simply create a new username without anyone ever knowing (provided I didn't do something to get noticed). - Drew Smith What I've done 01:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you admit that it was you driving your account when it filed that request for arbitration? If so, I missed that. You were already in a lot of hot water when you first sought a name change, which supports the view that you're looking to sweep the recent past under the carpet.
    See these
    for a recent case of an evasive user who keeps getting sussed-out. I'm glad you're not going that route.
    I suggest you withdraw this request; and absent that, that it be declined. You've pissed off a lot of people and wasted a bunch of their time. Time to make up for it; donning a new mask is inappropriate. Also, weren't you supposed to stay off Jimbo's page? I see you forgot about that, too. You've got the Drew account active on other projects, like wikinews, and all has not been mellow over there. However this goes, you should get on one name across all projects. Jack Merridew, sockpuppet ;) 06:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I blocked Ender the Xenocide indefinitely when Drew decided to switch accounts during a block discussion about some really inappropriate actions he undertook. I understand his desire to start over with a user name that doesn't have the stigma his current user name does, but don't feel that is appropriate at this time. Drew has made some really bad mistakes and has not been honest about them. Perhaps, after a few months of good, drama-free contributions this can be revisited. If a 'crat decides to go ahead and change his name, I certainly won't raise a stink. AniMatedraw 17:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would suggest denying the request per above and also the fact that "Xenocide" is literally translated as "systematic mass murder of all foreigners" - not a particularly wise choice of names on a global project. –xenotalk 20:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously I won't be getting a new name, per the dogpiling above, but I would like to clear up the points xeno raised. "Ender the Xenocide" is the title/nickname/whatever for the main character, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin. As a few of you know, I already tried to get the name Andrew Wiggin, but was denied because the account already had GFDL significant edits. If I had been given this name change, my signature would have read Andrew Wiggin, not Ender the Xenocide, and my userpage and talk page would have explained the use of the word. - Drew Smith What I've done 22:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As you know, I am well aware the fictional meaning of 'Ender The Xenocide', that doesn't change the fact that "Xenocide" also has a literal translation that is inflammatory. –xenotalk 22:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nanotech Man → Magnesium

Nanotech Man (talk) 17:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

I am requesting this usurpation of Magnesium based on 2 reasons:

  • I am identified by the name Magnesium at numerous other locations on the internet (not within Wikimedia projects, but at other wikis, forums, etc.). In an attempt to have a somewhat consistent "internet name," I would like to edit Wikipedia under the name Magnesium, as well.
  • The existing Magnesium added their account over 4 years ago (on July 27, 2005), and has never made a single edit. Their user page contains a single line of nonsensical text.

Thank you for your time. Nanotech Man (talk) 17:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

 Bureaucrat note: This rename will detach you from your m:SUL. If you want to reunify your accounts, you will have to seek renames on other wikis. Is this something with which you're comfortable? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 14:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose so. Just to make sure I understand, Nanotech Man would only be renamed to Magnesium on en.wikipedia.org? (Thus, I would still log in to Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, etc. as Nanotech Man.) To fix it (i.e., log in as Magnesium on Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, etc.), I must submit a request at WP:CHU/SUL? Sorry, I just want to make sure I understand everything correctly.

My current username was made on a whim, for I was not sure if I was to return to Wikipedia permanently. I would like my rights moved as well, if it is possible. Thank you. (C/SGT)G2sai(talk) 21:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
