Pattersonuwu

• Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: Pattersonuwu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
• New Username: Patty (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: It is easier to read & what I wish to be called (I am aware of custom signatures, but am wary of making it anything other than my actual username). I'm unsure if the account Patty even qualifies for this, as it does have a significant number of edits on the closed Italian Wikinews (last edit in November 2006), however it is blocked indefinitely on the Italian Wikipedia. Thank youu for reading my request :3

• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: I’d like to remove the number "1983" from the end of my username for simplicity and readability. An account with the username "Politheory" was created on the English Wikipedia in October 2011 and has never made any edits. Politheory1983 (talk) 17:11, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: I'd like to change my name to Altaire; my current username is currently unwieldy to read and slightly inaccessible for those using text-to-speech. The account named Altaire was created in 2006 and has only made 1 (non-significant) edit in its entire history.

• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: I would like to have Corvus corax as my username; it would be shorter and easier to read, and I like it more than my current one. An account with this name exists but only has three edits from one day in 2006.

• 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 global username from Apwcow to Ighs for anonymity, and as the shorter name is more recognisable. The user with the name Ighs has no activity since 2013, and no edits. Last time I applied I was told I needed over 100 edits and at least a month of activity, and those conditions have been met. Thank you for your time!

• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: The global account Kokononine has no edit history on the Wikimedia platform, but this username is already taken. My real name is kokononine, and I am the owner of the domain kokononine.moe.

Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: maliagros → Maliagros

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

• New Username: 90210 (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 created a BLP on English Wikipedia a number of months ago and my username was published in a conspiracy theory Instagram reel that received hundreds of thousands of likes.

• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: Hello, I am a regular contributor and am also active offline in Wikimedia projects. My current username is in Slovak and contains diacritics that can be difficult for non-native speakers to read and pronounce. I would like to rename my account to a username that is more internationally recognizable and easier for non-native speakers to read, pronounce, and remember. However, I noticed an account with the same name was created on Portuguese Wikipedia, but has only three small edits from 14 July 2014, at least two of which were subsequently reverted, and it has not been active since. Given the account's minimal activity and long-term inactivity, I would like to request usurpation of the username if appropriate. Thank you for considering my request.--Lišiak (talk) 20:35, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
