- Usernames that seem IP address are not allowed, like "inappropriate", in much projects. Rename is better option, in my opinion, to prevent future problems if user decide edit in another projects. Rafael (stanglavine) msg 15:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Marianian → Minoa
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Marianian (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Minoa (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 am more known by Minoa nowadays, because of my virtual nation on NationStates. After considering my options via email on accounts-enwiki-l, I have decided to enquire about usurping the old "Minoa" via a renaming process, due to the only account on ja-wiki being inactive with no edits or other activity. Also to reduce potential complications (relating to sockpuppetry) from a fresh start via creating a new account.

1997kB, any particular reason this is the case? Please ping response; thank you.―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 19:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)- Ah. I answered my own question. My apologies. It was because [1] and [2]. Many thanks! ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 19:29, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- @MattLongCT: After you file a request for usurpation, we must wait one month from the date the target user is notified so they have a chance to respond and object to usurpation. We can't perform usurpation on a user that objects to the request. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

- 1997kB, oh my gosh; thank you so much! I have two questions, however: (1) Should I let the bot clean up double redirects? (2) Should I register my previous account as a doppelganger? ―MattLongCT -Talk-☖ 21:27, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Also, woops, had to update the signature. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

AliJaana
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: AliJaana (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Akber (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 first name, and more easily remembered. The syllable 'Jaana' as part of the exiting name is no longer desirable for personal reasons. The target name 'Akber' has been auto-renamed before with 0 edits.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by AliJaana (talk)
- @AliJaana: You're not eligible for usurpation because you have less than 400 edits across Wikimedia. --Stïnger (会話) 12:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC).
- Not done, requested user name is taken and I am unwilling to perform an usurpation under present circumstances. Please choose a free user name instead (you can check at Special:CentralAuth). Also note, that contrary to what Stïnger has stated above, there is no such thing as a "400 edit" requirement, requests are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis. --Vogone (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Vogone: Sorry if I was wrong, I just saw a request like that that was denied for that reason. My apologies for that. --Stïnger (会話) 16:11, 4 March 2019 (UTC).
- @Stïnger: The requirement is to be active, and many renamers have chosen a 400 edit count requirement, but it will always be handled case-by-case. Nonetheless, the majority of active renamers will not process a rename if they have fewer than 400 edits. Nihlus 18:04, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sure, I didn't noticed that before. Thanks. --Stïnger (会話) 22:51, 4 March 2019 (UTC).

- @Vogone: Thank you. I just followed the Central Auth links and that username 'Akber' is indeed me from more than a decade ago! I have logged into that account and signing this comment with that account. I believe I read somewhere that edits cannot be merged at this time. If possible, please merge to 'Akber'. Also, are these rename requests auto-removed or should I remove this request manually at some point in time if it remains 'not done'? Akber (talk) 19:25, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- If you like, it is possible for me to move the "AliJaana" account to the name "Akber" and the current "Akber" to some other name which you desire. Merging the edits of the two accouts, however, is indeed not possible currently. Don't worry about removing your request, there is a bot which will move it to an archive. Kind regards, --Vogone (talk) 19:35, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Vogone: Sorry if I was wrong, I just saw a request like that that was denied for that reason. My apologies for that. --Stïnger (会話) 16:11, 4 March 2019 (UTC).

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to remove the numbers from the account name. I am unsure if I tried to register Maol when creating the account - but my main username Maol3 was too similar to Maole which isn't registered.
- Not done @Maol91: Your account is not eligible to usurp another existing account. Please choose a name that is not registered. Nihlus 19:44, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I no longer legally go by the name Charlie, but given that CaiCopley and all forms of Cai are taken, I just want to go by my surname. I am confused as to whether or not Copley is available; on some pages it says Copley is not registered but I am told it is a global account. However, due to the lack of edit history, I would like to claim this as my name. Cai (talk) 02:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC) Cai (talk)

- Reason: I am interested in editing under this username primarily under the English Wikipedia as a personal preference.
