Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
CommanderWaterford
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: CommanderWaterford (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: CommanderVeritas (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: RfC, some users feel that their mental balance gets affected
- @CommanderWaterford: You are currently blocked on the English Wikipedia, so I'm also pinging blocking admin Ingenuity, for them to voice their opinion on this. EPIC (talk) 16:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: see [1] & [2] - it's a request triggered by dewiki community. --ɱ 16:51, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. Looking at the discussions I fully understand why dewiki wants the name changed. Still I would like to see input from the enwiki admins, considering they are blocked indefinitely and also recently had an unsuccessful, unanimously opposed unblock appeal. EPIC (talk) 16:58, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Update: I have just notified the English Wikipedia administrators about this (en:WP:Administrators' noticeboard#Information regarding User:CommanderWaterford). EPIC (talk) 17:25, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: see [1] & [2] - it's a request triggered by dewiki community. --ɱ 16:51, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- They were banned by the community on enwiki, but I don't think that needs to disqualify them from a rename. The rename policy states that a user can't seek a rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct, which doesn't appear to be the case here. Ingenuity (talk) 22:17, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- As no one here nor on enwiki seems to be against it, I plan to place this on hold. However, the target account was registered only one and a half years ago, but have still made no edits, so it's a bit borderline. I will let other renamers decide first. EPIC (talk) 22:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC As a GRN: getting this User Name changed is important for our dewiki-community, especially after administrators closed discussions / reports about the username with a link on this rename request. After enwiki-admins made no objections, my Support for Usurpation in this particular case. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 05:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- If no one has any objections I will place this on hold in a while. The main problem is just the target user, as they registered only in 2022. EPIC (talk) 06:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment If enwiki community is okay with the rename, then this account can be renamed, but I don't think we can allow a community-banned account to usurped another account. It has to be a simple rename in my POV. —MdsShakil (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- @CW could you please consider picking a username which is not already in use? That will make it a lot easier for us to rename you. Thanks, TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:29, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- @TenWhile6 Sure but IMHO it was not in use (???!). Please give me 48 hours to overthink and check it. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- PS: Is there any DB Tool where I can check if a name is in use since now I always check if there is a user Disk for this name. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- You can check using Special:CentralAuth - if it doesn't give any results, the name isn't in use. EPIC (talk) 15:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I emailed the current User which had 0 Edits and no logins for several years as far as I see and asked him if he wants to give up its username. How is our policy for non-used usernames? The username is just "occupied" without any activity at all. CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- @CommanderWaterford, according to the instructions at the top of this page, renamers are the ones who will notify the target accounts. So, please do not send any emails or messages on your own. Additionally, as suggested by other renamers above, it's a good idea to choose a username that hasn't been registered yet. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you but this that does not answer my question: Why is it not possible to take over the desired account? It is by no means used; there are no logins whatsoever. So as far as I see the proc (as far as I see) would be that you guys email this user and if there is no answer we could replace it, right!? CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- As mentioned above; you were community banned, so it's less appropriate to usurp an existing username in that case (and also the target user registered only in 2022, and we usually do not usurp usernames that new). EPIC (talk) 09:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- @CommanderWaterford nope. There are two problems with that:
- normally we only usurpate account which didn’t edit for many years - your requested account is only two years old
- you are blocked in enwiki. That is a big concern for Renamers and gives you a bad negotiating position.
- Please choose another username, than we can bring this to an end quickly. Best regards, TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I see this is WMF not EN Wiki, am I right? And I am not negotiating; I am asking politely if there are other rules for me in place than for other Wikipedians globally just bc of a com ban of one project 3 years ago. I cannot deal with "less likely" - either there are rules and policies in place or there are not (which seem to be the case, unfortunately). The existing user did 0 Edits, 0 Logins since their registration. And as you perhaps can imagine, I have less than ZERO interest in getting back involved in the EN Wikiproject any time soon, be assured.
- I will come up with another username within the next few hours. CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Great - feel free to come back with a new username and we will rename your account for you. EPIC (talk) 09:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC CommanderInDubio
- Thanks. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- +1 to EPIC, I also want to comment on „As far as I see this is WMF not EN Wiki, am I right?“, that there is a consensus between Renamers and Stewards that we should take a look at every block, because it’s a global rename. See also comment from MdsShakil (GRN) above. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- @EPIC: Well I'm positive you're correct. I'm trying to work into handling unsurp request. Thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll stand back and watch awhile longer. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- @KirillQQ, I noticed the target user made 2 valid edits in the articlespace just 3 years ago, so I'm leaning towards not usurping it. However, if we decide to go ahead, we need some information to confirm that the original user is no longer with us. Could you share details on how you're certain that this username belonged to the same person you're talking about? Feel free to email the specifics to
renamers@wikimedia.org
. If we don't hear back within seven days, unfortunately, we'll have to decline the request. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)- Sent you an email from genrih1888shtrumen@gmail.com. — KirillQQ (talk) 15:19, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Email recieved. Checking it. EPIC (talk) 15:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've just checked the email and the links provided. From what I could see by combining it all, a Ukrainian user who did indeed have the nickname "Artur Random" on other sites had passed away. Thus it's probably the same user, and I don't really have a problem with usurping in that case as the user only made three edits, two of which were small edits in ns-0 and one edit which was a post on a user talk page. EPIC (talk) 15:37, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Email recieved. Checking it. EPIC (talk) 15:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- I hope I got this right, but if I misunderstood and all this has nothing to do with the target user, and instead you meant that the username matches your friend's nickname, and you want to take it over. If that's the case, my initial reason still stands - the target user has valid edits. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer 2 edits is not a big issue. @KirillQQ Do you want your current KirillQQ is renamed to Artur Random? Or you just want to keep it yourself as another account? —MdsShakil (talk) 15:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: personal preference
- @CuratorOfThePast: I am assuming you meant to place this under "Simple rename requests" and not as a usurpation request, as there was no existing user with the username "CuratorOfThePest". Thus, "Dignus est intrare" is now changed to "CuratorOfThePast". EPIC (talk) 22:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
