• Target username: Faux (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username | Vacate target userpages   (1)  (2)
• Datestamp: 20:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

You have to login with your current username on Meta, then request usurp. Techman224^Talk 20:23, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a usurp request, confirmed by a link, and it is unnesesary to create an account just to have it renamed. A 'crat should rename "Faux" to "Faux (usurped)", as to liberate this nick for unification and allowing the local creation of the global account. Savh^ñ 21:57, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Was that old that it had not even a timestampt of creation. Done the usurpation. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:14, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Paulo Eduardo ZZFE121 → PauloEduardo

Status:    Done

• Current username: Paulo Eduardo ZZFE121 (talk • contribs • email)
• Target username: PauloEduardo (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username | Vacate target userpages   (1)  (2)
• Datestamp: 21:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
• Reason: Personal preference. To be equal to the pt@wiki.

Paulo Eduardo ZZFE121 (talk) 21:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Feito. Do not forget to unify your new name once you've finished with the renames. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

None (SUL request) → Absconditus

Status:    Not done

• Target username: Absconditus (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: SUL report (new) | Email target username | Vacate target userpages   (1)
• Datestamp: 07:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
• Confirmation link: here
• Reason: For SUL unification. This is my account from old SUL and I request its renaming because it actually has edits here while my current one (Anonim.one) doesn't have.

Krivitsky MC (talk) 07:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

• Special:CentralAuth/Absconditus shows that the Absconditus account is already attached to your Absconditus SUL account. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:14, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Nini00 → DocElisa

Status:    Done

• Current username: Nini00 (talk • contribs • email)
• Target username: DocElisa (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (old • new) | SUL reports: (old • new) | Userpage logs: (old • new)  (rename user)
• Datestamp: 19:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
• Confirmation link: here
• Reason: I have changed my username at Wikipédia

Nini00 (talk) 19:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

User:DocElisa exists and have edits, and is also a global account. Unless you can prove that you own both accounts I can not rename you. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Confirmation of ownership of DocElista provided following this message from Nini00. Rename follows. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Done; DocElisa renamed to DocElisa (usurped) following confirmation of ownership then Nini00 renamed to DocElisa. User:DocElisa (usurped) blocked to avoid problems. You may access pt:Special:MergeAccount to reunify the account to SUL. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Fran McCrory → Fran Rogers

Status:    Done

• Current username: Fran McCrory (talk • contribs • email)
• Target username: Fran Rogers (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username | Vacate target userpages   (1)  (2)
• Datestamp: 06:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
• Reason: Changing my surname back IRL. Need to re-usurp User:Fran Rogers, which was my prior username.

Fran McCrory (talk) 06:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Done - Please check if page redirects are OK. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Mohinibothara → Appleandzara

Status:    Not done

• Current username: Mohinibothara (talk • contribs • email)
• Target username: Appleandzara (talk • contribs • email)
• For bureaucrat use: User creation logs: (old • new) | SUL reports: (old • new) | Userpage logs: (old • new)  (rename user)
• Datestamp: 17:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
• Confirmation link: here
• Reason: because deletion of account is not permissable

203.192.208.111 17:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Rename is not possible because the target account already exists and has a single edit, which is tweaking this request. Rename the first account will require usurping Appleandzara and then renaming Mohinibothara to Appleandzara... for a single edit account. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:13, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

• Datestamp: 16:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Not done cf. above. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:58, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

I cannot find an explicit prohibition about promotional usernames here (off the top of my head) but this should be of interest. -- Avi (talk) 23:04, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
