Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
EdwardAlexanderCrowley
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: EdwardAlexanderCrowley (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Crowley666 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Current one is quite long. Crowley666 was a sockpuppet on enwiki, and I want to change to it.
- @EdwardAlexanderCrowley: Why not choose Crowley6 or Crowley66 instead? The current one has too many edits plus since it was used for sockpuppetry and there are links referring to it in sockpuppet investigation, which I don't want to break by renaming. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:44, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- 666 is quite interesting, we Chinese also use 666 to describe some performance is great. EdwardAlexanderCrowley (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Done Sorry for being this late, I had to discuss this with other renamers. Nobody objected so I have processed it. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:08, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Coop987
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Coop987 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Ñ (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: As a Spanish speaker, having a very simple and distinct name would be very nice. Account Ñ was created on 2006 and never made any edits anywhere. Thanks. Ttfn, --Coop987 (talk) 01:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Kuatrero
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Kuatrero (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Bedivere (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The username I wish to use, "Bedivere", is taken by a sockpuppeeter blocked in 2008. This name represents me better and although I requested a rename on eswiki, where I edit the most, it is expected to be denied since the destination username already exists. Since it's the account of a sockpuppeeter, inactive for a long time, I don't think there should be any issues with me usurping their name.
- @Kuatrero: Bedivere has too many edits plus since it was used for sockpuppetry and there are links referring to it on various noticeboards across 3 wikis, which will point to your account after renaming. So I'd advise to pick a different username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Despite that, I'd still love to have Bedivere as my username. I could put a notice on my userpage clarifying I'm not Poetlister! (which I'm not!) :-P --Kuatrero (talk) 04:37, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: If not possible, would it be possible to take username Sir Bedivere? There is an user with that name, but has no edits. --Kuatrero (talk) 00:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Kuatrero: Apologies for being late on your request. Actually I need to discuss it with fellow renamers and if everyone agrees, you might even get Bedivere otherwise Sir Bedivere is eligible for usurpation. Please give me day or two to get back to you. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:00, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Thanks, keep me informed! :-) --Kuatrero (talk) 03:20, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Although the requested name was already registered in the Wikiversity since 2007, it does not have a single contribution, therefore I appeal to your generosity to allow me to use the requested user. --Henryhidalgoarias (talk) 04:41, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

- New Username: Kr2690 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This is an old inactive account and current username must be usurped/changed to my new label in wiki because I may need to use it in future. "Kr" is short form for my middle name.
- Hello @Anshulkumardhiman: There is no user with this username. Maybe you misspelled the username?--Turkmen talk 22:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Note: This user is also blocked on their homewiki. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:02, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Well then, If account can't be unblocked then it should be changed for privacy reasons. I'm not asking for a courtesy vanish but privacy does apply equally to everyone in Wikipedia I guess even If I don't get to use this account again. — Anshulkumardhiman (talk) 05:08, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Not done @Anshulkumardhiman: We don't rename blocked users. In any case, please contact admins on English wiki (where you are blocked) and they can decide whether to rename you or not. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:24, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

- New Username: Inigo (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Please may I usurp the username "Inigo"? I did not initially intend to edit Wikipedia for long time but hope to continue to contribute and would like todo so under a more friendly and personal (but not overly personal) name. Thank you and best wishes.
- Not done @Thiswillbebrief: Unfortunatly Inigo has so many edits thus it does not qualify for usurpation. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

- New Username: Chloe (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Name is taken by a Hungarian account, which has been inactive for over a decade.
- Not done Blocked on homewiki and too many edits on target account. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:27, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: "Minuette" registered in mid-2015 and never made an edit on any project. Looking to usurp it after the standard procedure.

PaleoMatt
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: PaleoMatt (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Maykii (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm transgender and my current username includes my dead name which I'd like to remove. Mayki is a username I use on the majority of other sites so it would make life easier if it was the same on Wikipedia. The current Mayki account only has around 20 edits on the Hungarian Wikipedia from many years ago.
- @PaleoMatt: The Mayki username has valid edits, which is a barrier to usurpation so you need to choose another username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: How about Mayki_ ? -- PaleoMatt (talk) 12:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @PaleoMatt: Mayki_ is technically equals to Mayki as MediaWiki treat _ as spaces. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:33, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: How is Maykii ? -- PaleoMatt (talk) 13:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @PaleoMatt: That's available, should I proceed with rename? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Saotura
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Saotura (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Heidelbergensis (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I want to change my username for purely aesthetic reasons, nothing special. Account Heidelbergensis on German Wikipedia has registered 10 years ago (29 August 2011) and never made an edit on any project. I don't think there are any issues with usurping their name, and I appeal to your generosity about it. Thanks.
- Not done @Saotura: Your block on English Wikipedia is barrier to renaming. Please deal with that first. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

- I did this because I realized I wasn't logged into my account... :) Özgürlüğün Koruyucusu Che Guevara (talk) 07:46, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- yeah there's nothing wrong with this request at all. I just found the request suspicious as it came from an IP but it seems the requestor later confirmed it was them by signing their signature SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 07:50, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
