Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
CharlieMRT
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: CharlieMRT (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Zugspitz (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 request to rename the too private Name "CharlieMRT" to "ZugSpitz" was rejected, because there is a similar name "Zugspitz". Isn't naming on wiki case-sensitive ? - I checked (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=ZugSpitz) without any negative notice. The similar username "Zugspitz" seems to be unused or abandoned (Registered: 04:01, 17 April 2013 (9 years ago), Total edit count: 0, Number of attached accounts: 1 on en.wikipedia.org). If this acount is really abandoned, I would like to usurp it.
- On hold until 1 February 2023. Target also notified via mail. —MdsShakil (talk) 10:52, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Spaceyavin
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Spaceyavin (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Flutterbat (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: Target unused and I haven't used the name that my Wikipedia account uses for anything else since around 2010, so I would like to update it to my current handle.
- On hold until 4 March. Target also notified via mail. --Superpes15 (talk) 19:29, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Superpes15:, @Spaceyavin:: Flutterbat is objecting to being renamed per sl:Posebno:Diff/5905611.--A09 (talk) 21:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks A09 for pointing it out. So Flutterbat cannot be usurped! I'm sorry @Spaceyavin:, but if you want to be renamed into another username, please post a new request (here or, if simple, also via Special:GlobalRenameRequest). Best regards --Superpes15 (talk) 21:46, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
El ocelote
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: El ocelote (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Ocelot (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: Personal preference, just want to make my username shorter. The target has 8 edits from frwiki and hasn't edited since 2005. I tried to contact them by e-mail but they hadn't specified one.
- On hold until 6 February 2023. —MdsShakil (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Skydream1721
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Skydream1721 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Skydream (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 made request for usurpation and renaming, but it was unsuccessful due to a Global Account existing with the name. However, it is inactive since long ago. I want to drop the numbers on my username, simple as that.
- On hold until 12 February. Target also notified via e-mail. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Skydream1721: I just noticed that Skydream opposed the usurpation, so we cannot process this request. If you still want to be renamed, please post a new request or, if it's a simple one, you can simply ask for it via Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Thanks for your understanding!

Karin Glasemann, Nationalmuseum
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Karin Glasemann, Nationalmuseum (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Kringln (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 would like to change my name to Kringln as I am not affiliated with the Nationalmuseum anymore. Kringln is my old account which has always been inactive. I have certified ownership at https://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndardiskussion%3AKringln#Ownership
- @Karin Glasemann, Nationalmuseum: Could you please also confirm the request with this account? Thanks!
P.S. Note that this account is blocked on arwiki for inappropriate username. After the rename you can ask to be unblocked there. --Superpes15 (talk) 08:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)- Hi, I confirm the request. Thanks Karin Glasemann, Nationalmuseum (talk) 09:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Done Thanks for the confirmation --Superpes15 (talk) 09:22, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
כובש הבננות
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: כובש הבננות (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Troll~כובש הבננות (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: Hi, In the Hebrew Wikipedia, a few impersonating users designed to interfere with legitimate users have been blocked. Most of them belong to כובש המלפפונים. However, their usernames remain and are still disturbing even after the trolls are blocked. Thus actually continuing to fulfill the purpose of the trolls who created them. Can you please change their names (e.g. add "Troll~" as a prefix)? כובש המלפפונים (talk) 13:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- @כובש המלפפונים: Impersonations should be reported to the stewards for a lock on SRG. No renaming is usually required. But I prefer to await some opinions before closing the requests (pinging most active users here - 1997kB, MdsShakil, Martin Urbanec and Vincent Vega). I'm wondering if they can be renamed to avoid confusion, but I don't think there is that problem, I actually don't see the need. Thank you! Superpes15 (talk) 23:28, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think this is not acceptable. Renaming is not a tool which developed for labelling impersonating users. Reporting is the best way for global lock. Vincent Vega msg? 06:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- +1 to Vincent. Renaming an impersonating account is pointless since it'll free up the username again. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 09:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- I also believe that renaming is unnecessary. —MdsShakil (talk) 04:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Not done כובש המלפפונים: please report them to SRG, asking for a lock, thanks for your understanding --Superpes15 (talk) 10:20, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Compte devenu inaccessible, je souhaite récupérer le nom d'utilisateur pour recréer un compte bot
- Done Confirmation here. @Sebicux: Please note that you have to create a new account with another username, since SebicuxBot was used in the past, and then just ask to rename it to SebicuxBot (you can write here the name of the new bot). Best! --Superpes15 (talk) 17:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Sebicux: Vous devez créer un nouveau compte bot (et utiliser un autre nom d'utilisateur), puisque SebicuxBot a dejà été utilisé, après cela vous écrivez ici le nom d'utilisateur du nouveau bot et nous le renommerons en SebixBot :) Désolé pour mon français imparfait, mais je vois que vous êtes "en-0", alors j'ai essayé d'écrire en français!

Simple rename requests

- New Username: Espertisicurezzainformatica (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: Siamo professionisti esperti di sicurezza informatica dal 2001. Abbiamo creato un account che è stato bloccato per utilizzo di nome utente inappropriato. Non sappiamo se quello proposto ora lo sia. Potete aiutarci per favore. Il nostro sito è "Informatica in Azienda." Così potete verificare le nostre competenze. Grazie. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Analisideirischinformatici (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Not done @Analisideirischinformatici: Ci sono diversi problemi in questa richiesta. La invito a leggere attentamente le linee guida sul nome utente di Wikipedia in lingua italiana e di Wikipedia in lingua inglese. Prima di tutto non possono esistere utenze ufficiali su Wikipedia in lingua italiana. Poi, un'utenza non può essere usata in comune da più persone, né può fare contributi promozionali o in conflitto d'interessi non dichiarato. Non si tratta di competenze, perché a nessuno è richiesto di essere esperto di un settore, ma Wikipedia è liberamente accessibile e modificabile da chiunque, il problema in questo caso è di rispetto delle linee guida e, dal momento che ci sono stati edit promozionali e siete bloccati anche per quello su enwiki (ma vedo che anche qui e su itwiki è stato inserito un link non necessario), non è possibile rinominarla e sbloccarla, inoltre la inviterei a evitare in futuro di inserire link non opportuni. Grazie per la comprensione e buon proseguimento. --Superpes15 (talk) 02:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

- @Sts.itravac: Ciao, l'username scelto corrisponde anche al nome di un'associazione (più di una a dire il vero), potresti cortesemente scegliere un altro username per evitare problemi (nota che puoi anche usare gli spazi normali anziché i punti)?
