Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
Kovalda
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Kovalda (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Fallowdeer (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: Could you try usurp this username for me? It's an inactive account with zero publications and no edits. I would like to rename it because it is also used on other social networks. Thanks.
- Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been established. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
ZhuofanWu
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: ZhuofanWu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: ChasingAir (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: For the privacy reason, I want to have a unique name for wikimedia account. This user only have 2 small edits on enwp after register.
- Hmm, this is quite borderline. Two edits is not a big deal, but the account registered less than four years ago. Could another global renamer perhaps give an opinion? EPIC (talk) 12:29, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- The requester, a well-established user, wants to use this username for editing. The owner of the target username will have 30 days to cancel this usurpation, so I don't see any issues. – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- On hold until 2 March 2024. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Morningtaco
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Morningtaco (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Iming (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 unite the username which I use but "Yiming" and "Iming" was registed. I noticed "Iming" register in Meta wiki at 2015 and it have no edit so I want to request changes username, thank you.
- On hold until 1 March 2024. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:41, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- As it is a leap year this would be On hold until 2 March 2024 (30 days from now). EPIC (talk) 11:53, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Doǵu
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Doǵu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Doğu (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: @EPIC: I had previously applied for this username, but I later abandoned it because it contained special characters. In my subsequent choice, I wanted to use the one that is currently available. If it doesn't pose a problem, I would prefer to switch to this (Doğu) username. I've been assigned to Ombuds commission, It's challenging for me to be tagged because the special character in my current username doesn't match with the "g" letter, but the "ğ" character can match with "g" in other wikis.
- Hi again - no problem. I have sent a new notice, so On hold until 2 March 2024. EPIC (talk) 12:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC, thank you!

GeoffreyT2000
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: GeoffreyT2000 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: GTrang (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: New username is shorter and simpler for me to remember. An existing global account with a similar username (but different capitalization), Gtrang, was registered back in December 2020 but never made any edits.

Michel Polacco
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Michel Polacco (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: User289671~frwiki (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: VTR 2024011410007367 checked User:Polaccomichel (ref). User:Michel Polacco can no longer be checked (both accounts claim to be fr:Michel Polacco). I recommend using “user” + user_id + “~frwiki” to construct the new name. A global request is recommended by French global renamers (here).
- @LD Although I don't have access to the provided ticket, so I am not able to help with this. Could you please provide some more information about this request so that it would be easier for other renamers/stewards to assist you? Thank you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer @DreamRimmer.
- Unfortunately, I cannot provide detailed pieces of information about the ticket since confidentiality and non-disclosure are two important principles of VTR tickets.
- However, French Wikipedia has a real name policy (fr:Wikipédia:Nom d'utilisateur connu). To sum it up: since User:Polaccomichel's identity is checked, then fr:User:Michel Polacco can no longer 'impersonate' or claim to be fr:Michel Polacco, that's why his claim has been erased (diff) and has to be renamed.
- Usually accounts are 'forced' to rename themselves but given the account is inactive, it has to be renamed another way. LD (talk) 13:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. I was actually referring to an on-wiki situation, not VRT ticket information. I'm also a VRT member, so I fully understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality and not disclosing any non-public information. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer: Why not in vrtwiki:? Hide on Rosé t 14:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Hide on Rosé, I can't assist because I lack access to the specific ticket in question; it's not within the queue I have access to. Those who have visibility of the ticket's content can discuss and proceed accordingly. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not done @LD, I am declining this request because the account has been inactive for the last 7 years, and if it gets renamed to another username, they will likely fail to log in again, making it hard for them to understand what happened to their account. Please ask this user to re-submit this request when they return to activity, or if you think renaming is necessary here and must be processed, please feel free to re-submit it via email at
renamers@wikimedia.org
so that it can be handled properly as it involves non-public data. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Tomlovesfar

- New Username: Tom Joe James (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 old account was created 2 years ago, and I don't' have access to it anymore. The old account does not contain any edits. I would like to change my current username to that old name.
- @Tomlovesfar, I'm sorry, but we have no way to verify that the target account is yours, and even if it is, it doesn't change anything as we prefer to grant requests only from reasonably well-established users to ensure that usurped usernames are put to good use. However, you have been active with your current account for the last 30 days, and I can see many warnings on your English Wikipedia user talkpage. So, I think you should spend some more time and come back later when you have a well-established account. For now, you can request a simple rename in the section above or via Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Thanks. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't declined this request yet, so if any renamer or steward has a different opinion and wants to approve it, they are welcome to do so. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not done for now, feel free re-apply once your account is more established. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My old username is not appropriate to put on my name card and I need to change it to an appropriate username for name card purposes. I am now responsible as a deputy secretary for WCGUM so I should have an appropriate username. Thank you.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I have had this thought to shorten my username for last one month. The target account belongs to me, as noted and I have not made any substantial edits through it. It has only been my doppelganger. Best regards,
Done —MdsShakil (talk) 19:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- This was so fast. Thank you @MdsShakil. ─ Aafī (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Can Aafi (usurp) be put at the place of TheAafi? ─ Aafī (talk) 20:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Aafi: Since both accounts belong to you, there's no need for any additional delay :)
- You can rename Aafi (usurp) yourself, or I can assist you with this if you encounter any difficulties. —MdsShakil (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Perfect Done. I'd now tag Aafi (usurp) under CSD as a non-existent user. Thank you for helping. ─ Aafī (talk) 20:15, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to usurp the account that is Jayson as a fellow editor pointed out it can be. I would like this name because it is simpler and I want an account with the name as I do not know of a site without the Jayson username.
- Just an FYI, I directed the user to Meta-Wiki: see en:Special:Diff/1204692629. The target account has only 6 edits on uk.wikipedia, made in 2009 per uk:Спеціальна:Внесок/Jayson. ─ Aafī (talk) 10:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Quite sure this can be usurped; target user's six edits were back in 2009, all of which were reverted, and according to CentralAuth there have been no further logins since then either. EPIC (talk) 13:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- On hold until 10 March 2024, also notified via email. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:16, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

- Just to note, you have made over 200 edits and have been editing Wikipedia for two months, which is commendable. However, you were indefinitely blocked on the English Wikipedia initially, but later unblocked. At this time, I don't see any issues, so I'm putting this request On hold until 29 March 2024. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:45, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Simple rename requests
DocMuséo
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: DocMuséo (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: O-R (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: Hello. With my old Username, my identity can be found on a Social network (and I'm a WP-fr sysop). My new Username "O-R" was rejected because it was too close to :
- "O. R.": 2 edits in 2008 - blocked indefinitely (Wp-cs)
- "O.R": 376 edits between 2006 and 2007 - nothing for 16 years (WP-sv)
- "O.R.": 1 edit in 2006 - nothing for 17 years (WP-sv)
- "O.r": 2 edits in 2019 - nothing for 4 years (WP-en)
- In my opinion, there is no risk of confusion with my account (more than 40,000 edits).
- Therefore, I would like to have my rename request reconsidered.
- Kind regards -- --DocMuséo (talk) 09:06, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Don't really see any problem with renaming here considering the users with similar usernames have not edited for long, so Done. EPIC (talk) 09:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Hide on Rosé: First of all, thank you for your response. My final decision is Mərdümgiriz. The important thing is that I want the Mərdümgiriz version, not the Mərdumgiriz or Mardumgiriz version.

Status: Not done

- Old Username: Miyako Fujimiya (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Miyako (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 because this username is shorter, it will make it easier for me to log into my account later and I also want to change to this new name to keep my personal information secure.
- Not done @Miyako Fujimiya, this is not a simple rename request because the target username is already taken. Requests of this type, where the target username is already registered, should be made in the usurpation section below. In this case, the target username is registered on English Wikipedia and currently has 44 significant edits, so it is not available for usurpation. Please choose a different username and make a new request accordingly. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Manatee-s, is Manatee0204 your account? – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:07, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- I am leaning towards declining these two requests as we have not received any response in a reasonable amount of time. The similarities in these two requests/accounts suggest that they are owned by the same person. I believe they should disclose any alternative accounts they may have before requesting a rename. Proceeding with renaming would completely hide the similarities, potentially violating the rename policy, which states: 'The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct.' I am leaving it for other renamers to check. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: 5 days ago, I applied to change the username I have used for 12 years. I actually regret this decision a little bit and now I want to go back to my old username. I won't bother you about this. Please help me.
- @Mərdümgiriz, you last renamed 4 days ago on 2 March 2024, and we generally don't rename users before 6 months have passed since the last rename. I think I can approve this one since you are requesting to revert to your previous username. However, I want to note that you have a long block history on azwiki, with the last block occurring just two days ago. Therefore, I'm leaving this request until tomorrow to see if there are any concerns. If any renamer wants to approve this in the meantime, it would be fine with me. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:07, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer, thank you for your reply. I want to go back to my old username actually changing my username was a wrong decision. Decisions regarding blocking are biased and questionable. I don't want to waste your time by talking about events on Azerbaijani Wikipedia. It's a very long story. If you change ny username, I will not bother you again about this. With all my respect.
