Pecavax edulena

Status: Not done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: Pecavax edulena (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: Göktan Şahin (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: A few days ago, when my username was "Göktan Şahin", I wanted to change my username out of curiosity. But I didn't know it would cause such a problem. I thought it could be revoked. Therefore, I request that my username be changed to Göktan Şahin again. Thanks. --Pecavax edulena (talk) 16:31, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

@Pecavax edulena As I wrote, the username is too similar to another name that was created a few days ago ("Göktan Sahin"). Is this a user you created? If so, please confirm ownership. Neriah - 💬 - 11:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes I created it. Recently I accidentally changed my user name to Pecevax edulena. Now I want to change it back to Göktan Şahin. Please help. Pecavax edulena (talk) 11:45, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@Pecavax edulena For verification, please login to the "Göktan Sahin" account and write a message here (not from the account you are editing from now). Neriah - 💬 - 11:53, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

If I have to explain in detail, my username was Göktan (Ş)ahin until 1 week ago. Then, when I accidentally changed my username to Pecevax edulena, I received an e-mail stating that I could not change it within six months, even though I wrote to the authorities for the username change again. Afterwards, I wanted to open a new account with the username Göktan (S)ahin in order not to wait 6 months. However, the system detected the same IP address and saved the account with the user name Göktan (S)ahin on the account with the username Pecavax edulena, to which I wrote this reply. Now I want to get the username Göktan (Ş)ahin. Pecavax edulena (talk) 12:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@Pecavax edulena I understand that this is your additional username, but the policy requires verification. Please login to the "Göktan Sahin" account and confirm usurp. Sorry for the trouble. Neriah - 💬 - 14:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Well, thanks for trying to help. Pecavax edulena (talk) 17:56, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

M16A3NoRecoilHax

Status: Done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: M16A3NoRecoilHax (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: Recoil16 (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: For a few years now I've been known to most people online as "Recoil16". The existing Recoil16 account has zero edits on any project and was actually created by myself on accident in 2019 when I couldn't remember what my actual account credentials were. I would be able to log into the other account to confirm if this helps the process.

--M16A3NoRecoilHax (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

@M16A3NoRecoilHax: Please login to your Recoil16 account and make a confirmation here. If you are able to confirm, we can approve your request without following any further procedures. —MdsShakil (talk) 15:48, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: I don't want to show my real name so i would like to change it to cartografíaliteraria, which is the name of the account that I created at first and that I accidentally lost when i didn't understand how wikipedia works. Thanks

--Zoecarballo (talk) 14:04, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

@Zoecarballo The user registered 5 months ago, so it is not possible to perform. If you own the account, sign in here from that account and confirm ownership. Neriah - 💬 - 18:22, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

New Username: Redmin (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 the username I use on most other sites. Also, people have an easier time remembering this for obvious reasons. The target only ever made 4 promotional edits on English Wikipedia and may have been a sockpuppet. ~~(削除) The bot account is under trial on Bengali Wiktionary and is operated by me. (削除ここまで)~~ See above.

--R4356th (talk) 12:49, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@R4356th আপনি কি আপনার দুই অ্যাকাউন্টের ই নাম পরিবর্তন করতে চান? মূল অ্যাকাউন্টের ক্ষেত্রে ব্যবহারকারী নাম অধিগ্রহণ করার প্রয়োজন হলেও বট অ্যাকাউন্টের ক্ষেত্রে তার প্রয়োজন হবে না। তাই উক্ত অনুরোধটি #Simple_rename_requests অংশে যোগ করুন। আরেকটি প্রশ্ন, যেহেতু বট অ্যাকাউন্টের ক্ষেত্রে অধিগ্রহণ করার প্রয়োজন হবে না, তাই সরাসরি উক্ত অ্যাকাউন্টের নাম পরিবর্তন করা সম্ভব, আপনি কি আপনার মূল অ্যাকাউন্টের নাম পরিবর্তনের পূর্বে বট অ্যাকাউন্টের নাম পরিবর্তন করতে চান? —MdsShakil (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

হ্যাঁ, আমি দুই একাউন্টের নামই পরিবর্তন করতে চাই এবং যেহেতু নাম না মেলার কারণে ঝামেলা হতে পারে, তাই অনুরোধ করছি দুটি একাউন্টের নামই একসাথে পরিবর্তন করতে। আমি বট একাউন্টের অনুরোধটি উপরে নিয়ে গিয়েছি। R4356th (talk) 16:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
Reason: I would like my username to consist of one word which is my first name alone. I find that easier to use and more elegant. The target account has been inactive for 15 years and has only 17 edits most of them are self promotion. I really would love to acquire the name since it will motivate me to work more on Wikipedia given the fact that I am autopatrolled in Wikipedia Arabic. Thank you in advance.

--Darkeniss (talk) 00:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

The user is blocked from it.wiki due to abuse of several users before making edits. @MdsShakil, Can it be done without notifying the user? Neriah - 💬 - 09:55, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Hi,
I would like to be able to edit using an English username. A hyphen is the meaning of my Hebrew name.
As the main user מקף I am HeWiki sysop, and access using the additional username in English can help me a lot in terms of my ping from local bots, and connection to the fabricator/wikitech/toolforge accounts.
The current user with this name is only registered on DeWiki and has made 7 edits, none of which are live, as it created a non-encyclopedic page in 2007. it has not been active since then.
Thank you,

Reason: I happened to want to contribute to a correction and realised that I already had an account that I could not find before because my user name had been changed during the migration to the unified login, I had also created another account (Renshou) some time ago for the same reason. Also a reason is that I have been known by this nickname for more than a decade and a half on other socials.

Reason: I have been an active editor on en.wikipedia for about 15 years and have also country to Commons. I use the sig JMF at en.wiki, which is fine for me but anyone who wants to ping me needs first to know my current [inconveniently] long name. It would be more polite to cut the prolix.

Reason: My real name. I've always desired to use it, but it was taken by an user who made 8 edits to it.wiki in summer 2005 and then left forever. In the meanwhile, I made more than 12 thousand contributions from my old account (Vicipaedianus x) and at least 10 thousand contributions from this one, so I could maybe get to use my real name.

Wait a minute @Neriah: The user had been blocked in itwiki with talk page access revoked. Usurpation should not be done if the requesting user has a block in a wiki apart from username problem. (cc @Bramfab: blocking admin in itwiki) @Superpes15: Can you help to confirm if the requesting user permitted to usurp other username? 132.234.229.113 05:15, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
I didn't notice the blocking. I'm hesitant, because the user doesn't want to change the name to disappear, but as a name change mainly for Enwiki, where he edits mostly (at least it seems to me. I'd love to hear dissenting opinions). Neriah - 💬 - 06:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
@132.234.229.113 and Neriah: I contributed to it.wiki for ten years from my former account Vicipaedianus x, with more than 12 thousand (undisputed) contributions. Then in 2021 admin Bramfab randomly blocked me without any confrontation and I created this account to ask for explanations, writing both to him and another admin (it:Discussioni utente:Parma1983/Archivio2021) identifying myself as Vicipaedianus x, but Bramfab answered just by blocking this account too, randomly accusing me of sockpuppeting. So I kept this second account and moved to en.wiki. From this account alone, I have already made more than 10 thousand contributions. I don't want to disappear at all, I just want to stop this nonsense and go by my real name. Est. 2021 (talk) 07:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
I will wait for another opinion. Neriah - 💬 - 22:04, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Mayfair Rose

Status: Not done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: Mayfair Rose (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: Parke-Laine (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'd like this new name because it connects both a book and a game that I like a lot. I tried asking for this by using a form, but it was rejected because I'm blocked on the English Wikipedia. I know I'm blocked, and I don't intend to hide that in any way from anyone. Is there anyway I can still be renamed?

--Mayfair Rose (talk) 20:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I put a note on my profile listing my old (still current) name and stating that I am blocked and that I'm not trying to escape or hide that. Does that help?

If not, then that's okay, I just would really like this new name (and I won't ask for another change). Mayfair Rose (talk) 14:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Not done You have been blocked on two projects, and for the better use of the global rename tool, we don't rename blocked users for reasons other than usernames. Deal with your blocks first. —MdsShakil (talk) 03:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

New Username: P. ĐĂNG (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 to P. ĐĂNG on Vietnamese Wikipedia, but unfortunately the bot announced that it may be the same as the name of another member who has logged in before. But this user has not made any edits and can be said to be an inactive account on Vietnamese Wikipedia since he first logged in. So I want to change to this name.
