- @JeffTomVoll: do you have a specific reason for this request ? --- FitIndia Talk Admin on Commons 16:46, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi. This is my old nickname - created 5 years ago. I created account/nickname on Wiki in very short time and editing few years. That's the problem. Thank You. JeffTomVoll (talk) 17:07, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Similar to Ezy ryder on EN Wikipedia which is stale for 8 years, will leave a message on their talk page. Its on hold till then for two weeks to a month. :@1997kB: if you could please have a look at this thank you.--- FitIndia Talk Admin on Commons 17:28, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- We have no such practice as you mentioned in this message. We never rename conflicting usernames, this is only done in the cases of usurpation and even in those request, they are not renamed to user~wikiname. For normal renames if conflicting user have fair amount of edits or is active then just decline the request. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

- The chosen username is too similar to existing usernames or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed: Eru Roraito (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser) and Eru roraito (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser). Not opposed to rename given that those two accounts are both inactive but I'd prefer a 2O here. Thanks. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio What is a "2O"?--Hdiddan (talk) 23:31, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- I think it means "a second opinion", that is, he would like another global renamer to comment on this request as he isn't sure himself. Leaderboard (talk) 10:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Hdiddan: Sorry, it means second opinion as Leaderboard said. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:12, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio: I usually grant renaming if similar usernames haven't edit recently (in the last 4-5 years) and have no significant edits. --Superpes15 (talk) 11:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Superpes15: Thanks, this was my thinking as well. I'll proceed with the rename. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

- Old Username: Cylinderpress (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Silverwater (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 old name is the same as a public profile easy to find in real life
- @Cylinderpress: Ti rispondo in italiano visto che la tua utenza è italiana. Per richiedere un'usurpazione bisogna dimostrare di avere un account con una storia solida. Per questo viene richiesto un minimo di tempo di possesso e diversi contributi (tu ne hai davvero troppo pochi per potere dimostrare una "solida" storia contributiva). Ti suggerisco di selezionare un altro nome, non esistente, e procederò alla rinomina e allo sblocco su Wikipedia in lingua italiana (che sarà parziale finché non chiarirai la tua posizione secondo la policy sul conflitto d'interesse e sui contributi su commissione). Grazie --Superpes15 (talk) 23:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

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

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

- Reason: username Munja is what I had 2 years ago, but password scrambled and left wiki. Want to get this username back. Thanks.
- @Munja usurp: Sorry, but if you cannot confirm ownership of your account by recovering the previous account and by logging in as Munja, the account cannot be usurped. Regards. --Superpes15 (talk) 23:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Superpes, if I could do that, I would not ask for usurp. I previously did this and sreward approved this. If I have to wait 1 month for old user to answer if they are using this username (which they don't since it's my account), then fine, I can wait. You can be rest assured that I am one of big contribitors on bs wiki, and others. Regards. --Munja usurp (talk) 09:24, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Munja usurp: You have already asked for an usurp in the past and this is anomalous. Please add a valid email address and keep the password (perhaps enabling 2FA). Regarding this request, I noticed that last time some users proved your identity, can this be done again? --Superpes15 (talk) 10:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- I contacted my wiki-friend here. When he arrives, he might approve it's me. --Munja usurp (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Munja usurp: Even if your identity is confirmed, the problem is that the account now has a lot of edits and has already been usurped previously, so technically it is not suitable for usurpation. I would be inclined to reject the request but I ask 1997kB that managed the previous one. Btw I suggest you contact T&S to restore your password (if you have a phabricator account you can confirm your ownership more easily). In this way we can avoid to usurp! Regards. --Superpes15 (talk) 15:44, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Exactly, I don't think usurpation is way to go here. I'd suggest filing a phabricator task (like phab:T272732) to request a password reset or just use a different username. I have accepted last usurpation with a thought that it scrambling password is one time thing but here you are with another scrambling and who knows in future you might do this again, so no. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

- Not done @Est. 2021: I'm sorry, but since you are blocked for sockpuppeting on itwiki, you are not eligible for a rename or a usurpation. Also, even if you solve the blocking problem, your account is still "too young" to be able to request a usurpation. Regards --Superpes15 (talk) 01:11, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Superpes15: My account was Vicipaedianus x (talk · contribs). I created this second account to ask for explanations for my unmotivated block on it.wiki, that's why they blocked this account too with the accuse of sockpuppeting. The problem will never be solved on it.wiki, nor with my 7 years old account nor with this one, nor with a new account, since the admin unmotivatedly blocked my range of IPs too. I could go back to my old account Vicipaedianus x, but I want to keep this one, just with a shorter name. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 03:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

- Not done Considering the block on your homewiki and your reason for usurpation, I don't think it's an serious request. Plus we hardly rename blocked users and abusing multiple accounts is a serious block. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:54, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

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

- Reason: Hello. I created my username more than 13 years ago in 2007 as Reptile. It was renamed in 2008 as Reptilou (at my request I guess, I don't really remember, cf https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Reptilou&action=history). "Reptilou" is some kind of home-made French slang for the noun "reptile". I have grown up and I'd like to go more "global" and go back to "Reptile". Now when I check its availability, it exists on the meta.wikimedia.org wiki with 3 edits in 2015. I wonder if I could try to usurp that Reptile account by any chance. Thanks for taking the time to review my request!

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Although my username is B222, I have signed my talk as Bertux at least since christmas 2007; consequently, at August 7, 2008 I created a sock account Bertux, mainly to prevent other users from doing so. This account has made only two contributions worldwide, none of which is copyrightable: they redirect the user and talk pages to B222 and have presumably been submitted from the B222 IP. Alas I have no valid password nor a recovery option. I have been informed that usurpation is still possible, with Bertux being renamed to Bertux~oud (Dutch) or Bertux~old (English). I don't care, being fine with the English version if you have to choose. Afterwards B222 can be renamed to Bertux. I am aware that the procedure may involve some on hold periods of a month each. I am fine with that or with any other procedure, but a ping when I need to take some action is welcome. B222 (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
