- Ciao @Teknosurf:, in base alle policy sul nome utente di Wikipedia in lingua italiana, anche il nome da te scelto non sarebbe appropriato, infatti se lo cerchi vedi immediatamente un sito web, quindi sarebbe considerato facilmente riconducibile a esso e pertanto promozionale da molti utenti. Ti invito a scegliere un altro nome utente, possibilmente uno pseudonimo, per potere essere sbloccato. Basta commentare qui indicando il nuovo nome utente! Cordiali saluti Superpes15 (talk) 12:08, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Proviamo con Walter70 - grazie Teknosurf (talk) 16:29, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

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

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
İtidal
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: İtidal (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Itidal (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: It’s kind of nonpractical to use a modified Turkish character in a English surrounding. It will make things easier for me. The account Itidal has been around for 7 years and haven’t indulged in contribution/editing whatsoever.

Charles.Clavadetscher
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Charles.Clavadetscher (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Charles.Foz (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 the new account when I noticed that I could not recover the password of my old one, the problem being that the E-Mail I used at the time came from the ISP I had. The address in the User page of Charles.clavadetscher is not valid anymore and I wanted to change it. If possible I would much prefer to continue tu use my old account, instead of the new one, although I don't have many contributions yet. This is not really a change of name, but much more the recovery of the existing one.
- @Charles.Foz Couldn't find any account named Charles.clavadetscher. Are you sure it was Charles.clavadetscher? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:30, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- Guess it is Charles.Clavadetscher. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:34, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- There's not much we can do if you are not able to remember old account password or get access to it's email. Those are the only way to recover the account. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:37, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- In fact it is Charles.Clavadetscher. Motorenstrasse is where I used to live earlier, now I live in the same city, but at another street. Is it not possible to reset the password or to change the E-Mail associated with it? I assume that in order to avoid abuse you need a proof of identity. What could that be?

Tunakanski
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Tunakanski (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Tuna (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 go by Tuna on most platforms and would like some uniformity in that aspect. The username Tuna is currently attributed to a Finnish user who has not made any contributions since January of 2012, 11 years ago as of yesterday. I looked through the past 50 or so edits they made and the articles have all been added to/significantly changed since then, so I'm not sure how much of an issue it is to usurp the account. If there's not any way that this change could ever be made please let me know, thanks.
- Not done. Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:17, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
MartinMichlmayr
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: MartinMichlmayr (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Tbm (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 go by "tbm" in open-source projects but chose my real name when I signed up for Wikipedia because I didn't like the "Tbm" first-letter upper-case capitalization. Now that I'm becoming very active on Wiktionary, I'd prefer the "Tbm" name (I understand there's a template now to change to lower-case, but I can live with the wrong capitalization). The existing "Tbm" user only has 5 minor edits from 2007. My recent attempt to contact the user by email has failed.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: "DeniBot" is already registered by another bot belonging to hu:Szerkesztő:Deni42. I have tried contacting them, but unfortunately haven't heard back. A good solution might be to rename "DeniBot" to "Deni42Bot", as this would follow the conventions that I have seen. Thanks, Denis.
