- Current name: Andrew1~enwiki (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Andrew1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user

- Reason: I'm not sure if this is right place. I had my account renamed to Andrew1. All went well and subsequently I also created the same account on wikisource. A couple of years ago though the account was renamed again apparently mistaking my own account for another. My account on wikisource is the only other account I can find.

- Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for Andrew1 (primary wiki: enwikisource).—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- {{Not done}} Sorry Andrew1~enwiki, you'll have to request a usurpation of Andrew1. Cabayi (talk) 07:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Did you read what I wrote? I don't want an usurpation because it's MY account. I want the accounts to stay where they are like they used to be. It's someone on wikipedia that decided to split them so it's a simple rename to my old account name. Andrew (talk) 09:26, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Then you need to sign in as Andrew1 and countersign the request to prove that it is your account. Cabayi (talk) 09:43, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- I can do that thanks. But the information I'm getting is confusing with some saying it's not possible calling it a merge and other indications that this is not the first time and is possible. Andrew (talk) 10:40, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- I confirm that I'm the one making this request. Andrew1 (talk) 10:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- User accounts used to be local to each of the WMF's projects. They were unified in 2015 and for a short period at that time it was possible to identify your separate accounts and have them merged. That is no longer possible.Before Andrew1~enwiki is renamed to Andrew1, Andrew1 will be renamed to something else, Andrew1 (usurped) is the default unless you have a different preference. The global usage of your accounts is : Andrew1, Andrew1~enwiki. - Cabayi (talk) 07:16, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikibotreads → wikip3dia101
- Current name: Wikibotreads (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Datestamp: 02:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previous username contained the word 'bot.' This could falsely imply that the account is operated by a bot and not an actual user. Wikibotreads (talk) 02:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 02:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Wikibotreads: Renamer note: This username may classify as an inappropriate username under the username policy because it implies a possible official connection with Wikipedia due to "wikip3dia" in the name.

- Reason: I don't want to be stuck with this name I and also have lots of profiles with the name so it kind of sticks to me. I think I rage quitted and then I just put this. Usernamenteredalreadyinusepleasechooseadifferentname (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
