You are welcome to choose another name to release the block (Special:GlobalRenameRequest), and request the usurps again after a few hundred edits. Good luck! Neriah - 💬 - 11:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user

MaterialWorks
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: MaterialWorks (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Debriefs (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: Old username is associated with other websites, plus, I want to have a shorter username. Debriefs has made no edits since they created their account over a year ago.
- Not done MaterialWorks. Although no edits were made to the account, the account was created relatively recently (only a year), and the usurps that usually take place are on accounts that have been abandoned for several years (usually no less than 8, but there are exceptions). In any case, we will not be able to usurp an account that was created a little over a year ago. Neriah - 💬 - 12:14, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
גריי
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- New Username: יעל (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: Changing to a female name
- @גריי: On hold until August 25, 2023. User notified via talk page.—מקף Hyphen෴ 20:29, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- @מקף אתה לא דובר עברית? גריי (talk) 14:53, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- הוא דובר עברית, אך עבור משני שמות אחרים שלא דוברים עברית הוא משתמש באנגלית (שזו השפה בה מתנהלים הדיונים בדף זה). אם יש שאלות והערות נוספות אין שום בעיה לפנות בעברית. Neriah - 💬 - 21:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Done (The user has one edit to the page that is not deleted, and that edit has been deleted.) Neriah - 💬 - 10:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

ArionEstar
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: ArionStarr (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: ArionStar (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 am a FP "nominater" in Commons, so the "Star" is the FP icon.
- @ArionEstar Is ArionStar your account? If yes, then login with that account and make a confirmation here about the rename. —MdsShakil (talk) 04:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @ArionStarr: Well, now you were renamed to ArionStarr as per your request on the global rename queue. If you are okay with that, I will close this request as not done. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Starr" is a typo. Here's the correct name. ArionStar (talk) 09:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Ok. So your ArionStarr account needs to be renamed ArionStar. For that process, we need to rename your current ArionStar account to ArionStar (Usurped), and then we are able to rename ArionStarr to ArionStar. Let me know if you are okay with that. —MdsShakil (talk) 10:33, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Starr" is a typo. Here's the correct name. ArionStar (talk) 09:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Simple rename requests
Karnataka

- New Username: க (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: transliteration of ka in tamil - simpler username
- Not done Karnataka. Your username was changed during usurps last June. We do not allow more than one name change per six months to normal names, and names that we usurp are even more careful that they are not done lightly, so we cannot approve the request. Neriah - 💬 - 21:35, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
AlanS
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
