UpsandDowns1234
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: UpsandDowns1234 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Awesome Aasim (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 do not know how blocks relate to username requests, but I believe that this username no longer suits me (I created this user account because I thought elevators but now this does not make sense to me). I tried the global rename request on ENWiki, but I got a decline reason of "As long as your account is blocked, the renaming is not allowed". And regarding contributions to other wikis, I uploaded one image to Commons, and added tags that were more appropriate on Commons. And my disruption: more childish, immature, teen-like. My issues were more silly, absurd redirects that seem funny, but are completely implausible (wikiHow is also telling me be careful with redirects). But long story short, my username was a lost cause and no longer represents who I am.
--Ups and Downs (↕) 18:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Note: I also asked this on the Wikimedia Forum. Ups and Downs (↕) 18:34, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- @UpsandDowns1234: I think you should ask to be unblock on en.wiki, because the most of your edits are there! Also, this request can refused based on Global rename policy that request can be refused if the user is seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct. --Alaa :)..! 12:13, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- @علاء: good point. Maybe we should put this request on hold until I get unblocked from the English Wikipedia (not happening anytime soon). I am not trying to hide bad conduct, but what I do remember is a user told me that they do not want an unblock request from someone who they do not remember blocking, as it would cause confusion. Agree? Ups and Downs (↕) 17:58, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- @UpsandDowns1234: It'll be hard to put this request on hold for a long time. So we can close it now, and after you unblocked either re-apply a new request or send a reminder on my talk page and I'll open it again. Agree? --Alaa :)..! 14:01, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

- Reason: doing this after 10 years using this nick all over the net. Just wanted a change. I see Zax is already taken, but only in ja.wiki. I would like, if possible, to use simply "Tartufo" on that project, and "Zax" on the rest of the projects. Thank you
- Not done @Zack Tartufo: we can't do that! because it's a unified login. I think you should apply a request for usurpation on the section below --Alaa :)..! 10:13, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Oyuncu Aykhan
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Oyuncu Aykhan (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Aykhan Zayedzadeh (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 created this in 2015, didn't thought too much about it, but it caused problems to me when I started my activity in 2017. "Oyuncu" literally means "Gamer" in English, and it sounds immature. I would be very happy if my name was changed to "Aykhan Zayedzadeh", anglicized version of my real-life name.

- Reason: Goal is : right to disappear. Loreleil is associated to many elements outside Wiki and I don't want to be associated to some decision that are illegal. I already did the request through w:fr:Spécial:GlobalRenameRequest, and I created a random password really complex password so that I m sure that no one can ever reconnect again with this account. I removed also email to ensure no one (even myself) can reuse the account. I see that 9 days later nothing has changed ! Please perform the requested. Additional proof of my request (I ve informed during my request of infinite block of my account that I ve performed this request : : https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Requ%C3%AAte_aux_administrateurs&diff=prev&oldid=146636689)

Proof of request has been provided. If you fail to read french to verify proof, please ask one of your french speaking colleague ! Additionally a CheckUser can confirm my identity ...

- @علاء: As my Userpage mentioned it, I was in Myanmar with almost no internet access so I was unable to see this request. In my opinion, the diff from the french Wikipedia (made by Loreleil's account) is enough as "proof" to perform the requested rename. Regards, Linedwell [talk] 03:45, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: request for this dormant account name to become available for my use finally came through- 5 weeks after it was made. I went ahead and started the work as PhilEdits. A new temp password for Mrphilip has been authorized and Jon Kolbert apologized for the delay out of all's control. Can you habdle this or should I just start from scratch as my edits are relatively few? --PhilEdits (talk) 07:57, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
@PhilEdits: can you explain your request in simple way? and what is the relation of @Jon Kolbert:? And if it for usurpation you should have at least 400 edits, but I see less than 100 edits --Alaa :)..! 14:27, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- It appears that in the time PhilEdits was waiting for an account (an accountcreator was needed to create Mrphilip because there was a similarly-named existing account) they decided to create "PhilEdits" for use in the meantime. If the user can log in to both accounts and confirm they are the owner of both, I think it would be safe to rename and transfer the edits from the old account to the new name.

- A special request to reclaim a dormant user name "Mrphilip" which had been used but one time was made by me, owner of an msn account of the same name for over 15 years. My request was approved. How Do I change my current user name to the requested name offered to me by the person mentioned. PhilEdits (talk) 08:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- @PhilEdits: do you have an access to Mrphilip account? if yes, please sign by it under my comment --Alaa :)..! 09:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes I can sign in with this account. Can we merge PhilEdits here or just start fresh? Mrphilip (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- I can also logout and log back in with the account I created during the 5 weeks I waited for approval on the requested 'Mrphilip'. PhilEdits (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- At this point I think I should ask all interested parties, if they have a preference for one user name over another. My desire was simply for continuity of historic usage, but I'm comfortable with both choices. Feedback Appreciated. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by PhilEdits (talk)

- Old Username: LIVE NIEUWS (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Thomas98 (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 want to change my name because the new one would suit me better. The 'Thomas98' account already exists, but has been inactive since 2009. The account has 0 edits on three registered projects. I have placed a request on the Thomas98 talkpage (EN-wiki) to see if it is OK that I would take over his username. That request was made on January 24, 2018; in those three months (more than the required minimum 1 month) there was no answer. So I think that a immediatly name change is allowed.
Thanks in advance, --Livenws (talk) 12:26, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
- Request looks good but we are having technical difficulties with renaming users, so we must wait for the problem to be fixed. — regards, Revi 14:20, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

- @Wong128hk: so?--Весельчак7 (talk) 08:47, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- This is the standard procedure for account usurpation. The process can only be proceeded when a month notification was issued and received no objection. So that, please wait for it. --J.Wong 09:23, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
