- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The old username is inappropriate so I’ve got blocked in zhwiki, please rename. Also my account was checked as another user’s sock, it is Unrelated for that. Thank you.
- I think... You should appeal in zhwiki through unblock instead of requesting rename in meta, and zhwiki has a local renamer.--海の向こうは敵だ! 11:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I've seen it. You've been identified as use puppets. If you have a problem with block, you should make a local representation instead of going to the meta. It's worth noting that this is sometimes regarded as global van. Another to renamer: this user has been confirmed to have abused the puppet and has not representation in zhwiki. Please think twice before you act.--海の向こうは敵だ! 11:29, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

- So I still don't recommend you to use this user name... But it's really my fault (it seems that the hant to hans transformation of zhwiki will automatically regard your target user name as this person, I'm sorry.)--海の向こうは敵だ! 04:04, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

User:& made only 5 edits in 2006. I made 635 edits and I'm active. If possible, I would like to usurp this nickname.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I am using the "Shakes" username everywhere ever since I became a point on FidoNet in 1992. I was an early bird on the internet and had the opportunity to register this username everywhere back then, f.ex. as email on one of the first free email providers as shakes@usa.net. I remember registering it to WP in the early days to try it, then I lost interrest and access, and as I see someone did the same in 2003 from China. I returned to Wikipedia in 2008, but my username was taken, so I used "Sh nassau" as subtitute and simply changed my signature so people know me can recognise me. Now I see "Shakes" has never been used since 2003 with only 2 edits on the userpage on the day of the registration, so it may be considered as unused now. I would like to take it myself if possible.

- Reason: I am a Bangla Wikipedia, I have a total of 200+ edits across various wikimedia projects. I want to change my current username and get my real name. But it is not possible to name of Md. Rabbani here in the English Wikipedia. Md. Rabbani join 4 years ago in the English Wikipedia, but he not edited hear, after which he was no longer active. I am writing an active user and regular wiki. My current user name changed to the original name Md. Rabbani would be a lot of benefit to me.

Hello @এস. এম. জহিরুল ইসলাম সুজন:, do you want to usurp Md Rabbani or do you want a rename to Md. Rabbani? They are two different usernames and Md. rabbani (with the dot) is not a registered user. Also, I see that you are blocked on enwiki for having used multiple users so the request will have to be carefully evaluated. Blocked users are generally not allowed to be renamed --Superpes15 (talk) 10:50, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: I like this username. It's more memorable and fits with current trends. Username I want to usurp made 55 contributions to the lojban wiki, having their last edit in 2006.
- If I remember correctly, it seems that such an account is not allowed to be usurped. --海の向こうは敵だ! 12:11, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- Honestly I don't think it's polite to give it another shot as that user already indicated their standpoint clearly. --Hamish 09:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Not done @Dr. Kadzi: There is no point in trying again as they have already opposed to usurpation. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:30, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
