- User:FreddyKrueger43, please read above and the email is for the one who will get usurped
Per standard procedure and consensus, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least two weeks before usurpation.

--Muratweb (talk) 18:31, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not done. The requested username has made a large number of edits (over 1400), and we do not usurp usernames of this kind. @Muratweb. Neriah - 💬 - 18:35, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
21GauriGuptaa
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: 21GauriGuptaa (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Gauri Guptaa (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 request a username change to "Gauri Guptaa." This was the username of my previous account, to which I have unfortunately lost access. Since "Gauri Guptaa" is my own account, I would like to reclaim this username by renaming my current account. Kindly consider my request to facilitate the username update. Thank you for your assistance.
- @21GauriGuptaa There is no account named "GauriGuptaa." Have you spelled it correctly? —MdsShakil (talk) 16:07, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- @MdsShakil: There seems a little typo. My thought, it is "Gauri Guptaa", but lets allow Gauri to respond. signed, Aafi (talk) 16:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- cool, we have it. signed, Aafi (talk) 16:09, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- @MdsShakil and @Aafi: Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, there was a small typo, and I’ve corrected it now. Apologies for the confusion! 21GauriGuptaa (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- @MdsShakil: I don't think we would need to wait here given that the target account belongs to the requester. Do you have any concerns? If no, I would want to take care of thos request then. signed, Aafi (talk) 09:22, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Aafi Do you or the requester have any evidence to support that claim? If not, we must follow the standard procedure. —MdsShakil (talk) 09:30, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Valorrr
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Valorrr (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Valor (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: The new username is an old account, that hasn't been used since 2015, making around 30 edits, and doesn't really have much impact, only one talk page message saying "Welcome", I have a preference in shorter names if possible, and it makes my username stand out instead of "Valorrr". Thanks,
- Not done @Valorrr: You created the account 21 days ago, usurpation is available only for well-established users. Please feel free to submit your request again after some time. aqurs 🍧 05:50, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Just noting: The requested account edited just two years ago [1], appears to be someone who uses their account infrequently to do some minor changes (34 valid edits so far). The account is therefore ineligible for usurpation even for more established users. Johannnes89 (talk) 07:04, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

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

- Old Username: Vittorio.nex (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Vampire (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: (your remarks here) All my other social media profiles i use either the handle/username "Vampire" or "Original". I would like to be granted either username. I am an experienced editor and have recently created my Wikipedia, i plan on editing 1000’s of Articles on here. Please grant me either usernames "Vampire" or "Original". Thank you.
- Not done @Vittorio.nex: Target has valid edits and cannot be usurped. Furthermore, your account is not yet established and therefore is not eligible for a usurp, as it has just been created. Thanks for your understanding! --Superpes15 (talk) 21:40, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The Indochina account has one minor edit on the Dutch Wikipedia from over ten years ago, and is inactive. I would prefer not to have numbers in my username.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My current username contains numbers, which I prefer not to be included. The username Zerg is ineligible for usurpation, so I chose a Latin phrase. The account with the new username was created over 15 years ago and has made six edits, four of which have been deleted.
- On hold until 16 April --Superpes15 (talk) 13:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I was asked to give a username in Wikipedia after I started editing, I thought I was supposed to use my real name. It was after reading the policies and guidelines that I came to know about the risk of breach of privacy. So to ensure my privacy, I request this username change.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My current username contains my surname and was created without considering privacy. I wish to change it to 'Ekika,' as the original account has only made two minor edits 15 years ago and has remained completely inactive since then.

- @Uxj: Do you have any proof to support your claim? If not, we won't be able to help with this. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:53, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Not done In this situation, we are not able to help with the usurpation. Just noting, when someone has forgotten the login details of their old account and does not have anything to prove the connection, we normally follow the standard procedure. But in this case, the target account was active just two weeks ago. As per the usual process, the account needs to be inactive for at least two years for us to consider such a request. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:28, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Personal preference in shorter usernames, only a single edit was made a long time ago on then usurped account. Thanks!
- On hold until 18 April. @Azyn: Please note that you were already renamed twice (for the log 1 and 2) in the last year and a half and, after this usurp (which also involves the renames of another user which is usurped), future renames may not be granted without valid reason. Thanks for your understanding --Superpes15 (talk) 02:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: User is currently blocked for 2 weeks for edit warring. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, I see that the block is limited to a single page. I'd ask if the blocking admin is fine with rename atm but, since the block will expire in 2 days, I'm putting this on hold until 19 April, after the block is expired.
- P.S. Pinging @Drmies: to notify them of this rename! Superpes15 (talk) 12:46, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- Superpes15, I don't think I ever objected to their user name. I commented on it, I think, but I blocked them for edit warring, nothing else. Drmies (talk) 23:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Done @Drmies: Thanks for confirmation! We usually don't rename blocked user and always ask blocking admin or the project if they agree with the rename (or we notify them of the rename to avoid confusing the user) --Superpes15 (talk) 23:23, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- I'm somewhat uncertain. While the user is indeed blocked on ptwiki, the reason for the block is poor encyclopedic writing. Additionally, the user holds sysop rights on two other projects. Therefore, I do not believe this case falls under the policy clause: "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct."
I would appreciate input from a global renamer or another steward before proceeding with the request. Neriah - 💬 - 10:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)- @Neriah: I do not see any issue with it. The user is indeed trusted. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Worth a try. Account has only made 28 edits on the Finnish Wikipedia and hasn't had any activity for 13 years. Theki is a name I have long since abandoned for personal reasons and I would like to edit under a more personal and vague name so that I most likely won't need my name changed again in the future.

- Reason: When I registered I didn't understand the username is visible in every edit I make. So I prefer changing it with something more meaningful and less similar to a random sequence of letters and numbers.

Simple rename requests
InternationalPianoForum
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: International Piano Forum (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: MaryamMaleki2025 (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 tried changing my username to MaryamMaleki2025 through the regular process, but I received an error that the name is already taken. I then submitted a request for "VoiceOfConcerts" instead. However, I would still prefer to have MaryamMaleki2025 as my username, if possible. If not, I am happy to proceed with VoiceOfConcerts as an alternative. Thank you in advance!

- Reason: I applied to change my username in January. They said they couldn't do it for various reasons. I've changed my username a few times in the last year. Now I want to do this for the last time and permanently revert back to my old username. Please help me with this. Your help is very important to me. I want to use the username Baskervill and I will never request such a request again. Regards--Crepusculum (talk) 21:53, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Not done after internal discussion. Not much has changed since your last request (no new contributions). There is no valid reason for a rename at this time, so I'm declining per rename policy 1, 2 and 3. Wüstenspringmaus talk 05:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
