Antero de Quintal
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Antero de Quintal (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Vandal account 001 (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:
Immediatelyafter Antero de Quintal was renamed to JMagalhães, a vandal, probably Vhaslhv, created an account with the old username to impersonate the user and vandalize. I locked it as soon as the vandalism started. It is problematic to have the (old) username of an established user associated with vandal edits. It is misleading and causes issues, as you can see in the following discussions: [1], [2]. I think we should move that vandal account away, then create a Doppelganger under the name Antero de Quintal to prevent further impersonation by vandals. If not, at least the lock rationale of the vandal account needs to mention the impersonation. I can arrange either of these soluctions. Defender (talk) 17:40, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- I have moved the vandal account to Vandal account 001 and created a dummy account under Antero de Quintal to prevent further impersonation, but the section "Previous global account changes" on Special:CentralAuth still says I've locked Antero de Quintal (the old username of JMagalhães) as «Vandalism-only account», even though the only account that is in fact locked is Vandal account 001. @Ajraddatz:, @MarcoAurelio: what should we do now? I'm sorry if I've messed something up. Defender (talk) 04:06, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Probably because the centralauth log does not update with renames. The Antero de Quintal account is not locked. Maybe we should ask at Phab that Special:Log/globalauth should also update when renaming an account. —MarcoAurelio 09:52, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- I suggest that after renaming a user, future anonymous users should not be able to create an account using the old username, unless if "it would be marked as available" while renaming or similar, or if it would be created by a registered, autoconfirmed user. That way this case would have been prevented. Poyekhali (talk) 05:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I renamed my account in 2009, I just wanted to get rid of my former user name as soon as possible for privacy reasons, and use something along with the signature I had (and the pen name I use for decades), "Darwin". As that username was already taken by then, I chose the name of a recently discovered species, Darwinius . I never identified with that animal, and with the passing of time I came to hate my nickname, as it always recalled the fossil. Now with the daunting limit of the 200.000 edition getting closer by the day, I feel anguished thinking I'll have to get stuck with the poor little fossile name for the rest of my days here. So, I humbly ask, can I please be granted this one time nickname change to "DarwIn"?--- Darwin Ahoy! 02:47, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

- New Username: Elahrairah (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: GramNegative is my alternative account (main account is Basalisk, which is an admin account on en-wiki). Due to a change in circumstances I will need to use my alternative account a lot more, and would like to use this name. I'm aiming to rename my main account to this name at a later date once I've tied up a few loose ends with the old name.
- @GramNegative: can you confirm that (Basalisk) is you main account (please sign by it below my comment to confirm that), because as mentioned here that (User who requests usurpation must have at least 400 edits or be an administrator on some Wikimedia project.) --Alaa :)..! 18:34, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

- Not done Sewa is an active user with +5000 edits, also user who requests usurpation must have at least 400 edits or be an administrator on some Wikimedia project; you just have less than 100 edits. --Alaa :)..! 08:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
