Simple rename requests
Eleassar
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Eleassar (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Tadej Menart (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I've got tired of the old LOTR name; I'd really need something more credible. I've tried to have it renamed via the Special page, but there are a lot of edits, so the request. The proposed new name has not been registered yet, and I have already used it in the OTRS system. Thanks in advance. --Eleassar my talk 14:03, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
On hold awaiting a sysadmin - Dear Eleassar, following global rename policy renames of accounts with more than 50,000 edits altogether should not be performed without supervision of a sysadmin. This due to the risk of breaking the wiki. I have notified Legoktm and Hoo man. They can supervise the rename. All the best, Taketa (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Not done as the user wrote here --Alaa :)..! 21:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

- New Username: Michalc_ipi (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Oldname wasn't created under the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I'm sorry. Thank you (talk) 11:15, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Ipipan: the name you are requesting does not exist, therefore, not able to usurp. Would you like a rename by requesting for a rename through Special:GlobalRenameRequest? Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:18, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
Done --Alaa :)..! 16:42, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
GalaKapanadze
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: GalaKapanadze (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: GalaK (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I created my account, I registered with my nickname (Gala) and last name (Kapanadze) together. Now I would like to change my username to sort of a nickname. Thanks.
--GalaKapanadze (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
@GalaKapanadze: the name you are requesting does not exist, therefore, not able to usurp. Would you like a rename by requesting for a rename through Special:GlobalRenameRequest? Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:17, 12 May 2017 (UTC)- @Atcovi: Okay I will be request from this form. Can I request name Gala? --GalaKapanadze (talk) 14:24, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- My apologies @GalaKapanadze:, I must've gotten this request mixed up with another request. The username, "GalaK", exists, and it contains important edits at en.wikipedia and commons. As a result, GalaK cannot be usurped. However, the name "Gala" appears to be eligible for usurpation, as the only edits from this account is on his/her own userpage on he.wikiquote. Though, to be sure, I'll ask another global renamer for his opinion: (User:علاء?)--Sorry for the confusion. EDIT: Also, you don't seem to have a global account. I'm not sure if your account is able to bee renamed. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:44, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Atcovi: the user request to change the name in Special:GlobalRenameRequest, because of this the GalaK appear as exist and can't be usurped --Alaa :)..! 16:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Atcovi: They has been approved my rename request and my new name is "GalaK". But if "Gala" is eligible for usurpation I want change GalaK to Gala. What can i do? --GalaK (talk) 16:21, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- @GalaK: yes, Gala account is eligible to usurp, after 6 month you can request to usurp it --Alaa :)..! 16:58, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
Not done the user request it in (Special:GlobalRenameRequest), so the did it there --Alaa :)..! 16:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: I wrote a Danish article about a guilty found terrorist, and I'm afraid to be involved in the case, therefor I don't want to be identified. Alexander Bundgaard Matzen (talk) 18:32, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Gamer-Actu
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Gamer-Actu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Gnash (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm not really fond of my old username. It doesn't even mean something. Sadly, the username I wish to usurp has home in the romanian Wikipedia so I can't use standard procedures. On the other hand, it has never been used: CentralAuth:Gnash. Thanks in advance
--Gamer-Actu (talk) 12:45, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Gamer-Actu: notify this user about your usurpation on his home wiki (ro.wikipedia) with this template: Template:Usurpation requested/ro. Thanks Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 00:55, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Done. Hope I did nothing wrong. --Gamer-Actu (talk) 09:20, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

- New Username: Jake Low (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: want to use a more readable form of my (real) name; the desired name exists but has only made one edit (over 10 years ago), and that edit was reverted.
- @Jake-low: notify this user about your usurpation on his home wiki (tl.wikipedia) with this template: Template:Usurpation requested/tl. Thanks Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 00:55, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm a ruwiki and commons user since 2010, have 45k edits. Last 2 years I sign my posts as MBH, also I have a bot MBHbot with 600k edits and a toollabs account toollabs:mbh. MBH has 3 small content edits in 2009 and don't have an email, so I can't email him my request. I have notified him, see sv:Användardiskussion:MBH. --MaxBioHazard (talk) 12:12, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Anoko
- Wiki: nl.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Anoko (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Anoko moonlight (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My usernames for Wikipedia NL and Commons were different from my username in EN, because at the time I requested my accounts global accounts did not exist, and the name I had chosen for NL was not available in EN. Now that usernames are global, I'm logged in with the wrong user when I go from one project to the other. To be clear, I would like to just change my username from NL and Common ("Anoko") to be renamed to "Anoko moonlight", and would like to have my contributions from Wikipedia En stay with my username "Anoko moonlight". (Note that the template only says 'NL' -- don't know if it supports two domains...) I'll sign with both usernames. Thanks!
--Anoko (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC), Anoko moonlight (talk) 20:54, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Anoko:
Are you read what we wrote in the box under the section header? --Alaa :)..! 21:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- @علاء: - This request was posted on nl.wikipedia and I redirected it here. It is a local merge request. Not a global merge request. Not sure on current protocol or willingness, but technically it should not be a problem. I did this multiple times when I was a steward. Stewards can dissolve the two global accounts and merge. Use local renaming to switch the local accounts after dissolving the global accounts, and have the user recreate the global accounts themselves. All the best, Taketa (talk) 21:59, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- As I said before, that we can't merge accounts! but to close the request I think you should ask the stewards in IRC channel #wikimedia-stewardsconnect. Regrades --Alaa :)..! 04:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

- It was painful, very painful, it seems it has been done Mardetanha talk 09:11, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Dear Anoko moonlight, please log into both accounts and go to Special:MergeAccount to combine your accounts into a single global account. And thank you very much Mardetanha! Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 09:22, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I had problems with logging on this project and on the Wikimedia Commons, so I had to open a new account which I put in the fleid Old name. And after a day or two it was in another browser worked. Therefore, I demand to merge account in old name to current user name. Thanks! Zoranzoki21 (talk) 12:19, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

+ these sister projects names: Wikibooks, Wikispecies, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wikivoyage.
Not suitable usernames for editors. These accounts must be usurped, then re-created by some trusted user(s), with descriptive global userpages pointing to the entities which name they have, and then locked again globally forever :) --XXN (talk) 18:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- The user "Commons" is an established user with over 5K edits. Have you talked to them about their username? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- No, I didn't contacted that user. You can proceed to solving simple cases (they have less edits and some of them already are blocked locally). The case of user "Commons" might be postponed (or even reconsidered?); I don't have time to contact and communicate with him, maybe someone else could inform him about the problem with the current username. --XXN (talk) 20:54, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Why do they need to be renamed? What is the value in doing this? Lock and leave; no issue. Delete anything problematic; oversight if necessary. Otherwise, all such sister wikis names are now blacklisted, though any admin can override such blacklisting. The world is imperfect. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:08, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- ^ I concur; global renaming takes up a lot of server resources, and we don't want to waste it on bad faith users. If the goal of this renaming was to stop the usernames from being recreated, well, our current situation of keeping them locked works. If you want to create global userpages, you can do that without having to rename or unlock the accounts. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:11, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Epicgenius
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Epicgenius (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Genius (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I created my username in 2012, I was immature and combined the words "epic" and "genius" to make my user name. However, I don't think I need "epic" in my username anymore. The username "Genius" hasn't edited since 2006 and then only on de.wikinews (with one vandalism edit on ja.wikiversity), so I think I would like to usurp that name. These are the only two projects that need usurping, to my knowledge. (Note: I am a pretty active user especially on enwiki, so if the usurpation can't work for some reason, please feel free to let me know. Thanks.)
--epicgenius (talk) 02:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Huh? I see three problems with your request:
- The username "Genius" has 213 edits to de.wikinews. The account doesn't seem eligible for usurpation.
- "Genius" does not have a local account on ja.wikiversity; see Special:CentralAuth/Genius.
- You have almost 200,000 edits. We need sysadmin supervision to perform renames on users with over 50,000 edits. Are you really, really sure you want this username that's gonna kill a dozen server kittens?
- —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- @K6ka: Never mind, it seems like it's not worth the trouble, especially not with the potential loss of server kittens. ;) I would like to withdraw this request. epicgenius (talk) 03:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: As a general rule of thumb, we only rename accounts that either 1) Have absolutely no edits (so a global edit count of zero); 2) Have had all of their edits deleted or reverted right away; or 3) Have only edits to userspace that can be deleted. There is no global usurpation policy, and an RFC for it has ground to a halt. That's the general rule we follow, however. Even if the account was eligible for usurpation, 200K is quite a lot (More than my edit count by a long shot). —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:04, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- @K6ka: OK. Thanks anyway. Even if that account had been eligible for usurpation, I probably wouldn't have done it anyway because I don't want unnecessary sysadmin intervention for what's basically a vanity name. Also, now that I look at the central auth, I didn't know my edit count was that much more than yours was. Wow, I've been editing a lot. epicgenius (talk) 03:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Andromeda~enwiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Flordeneu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: "Flordeneu" was my username in the Spanish wiki. My username in the English wiki was "Andromeda" and was changed to "Andromeda~enwiki" after the global merger. Since I hate "Andromeda~enwiki", I'll wish to usurp my own old username to use globally, since mergers are not available. Thanks.

- @Andromeda~enwiki: Flordeneu will changed to Flordeneu (usurp), okay? --Alaa :)..! 09:14, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Do you mean Andromeda~enwiki will become Flordeneu and Flordeneu will become Flordeneu (usurp)? If that, then OK.

- I think that later it will be possible to re-attach your old account eswiki@Flordeneu to newly renamed Flordeneu (former Andromeda~enwiki) account. Ruslik (talk) 11:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- If possible, that would be great! Thanks! Andromeda~enwiki (talk) 21:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
