  Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been established. —MdsShakil (talk) 12:12, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

@Itti: Any issue with this request? Imho we could usurp 6D :) Superpes15 (talk) 12:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15, I think that will be ok. Go for it :) Itti (talk) 13:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
@Itti: Many thanks for the confirmation :)
Only for practice, even if in this case it could be avoided, I put   On hold the request until 5 November. Obviously I won't reveal my e-mail to a vandal-only. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Status:    Done

--Scondoro2 (talk) 20:43, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

  On hold until 5 November. The notification is very old (and only the renamers should send it after evaluating the request)! I notified the account also via mail, just for practice, even if you lost the password. Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 16:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Don't see any issue here but I ask Mys 721tx just for confirmation (in the meantime I notified the target) --Superpes15 (talk) 16:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Wyeim

Status:    Done
  • Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
  • Old Username: Wyeim (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
  • New Username: Grandsire (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: Hello! I’m initiating a project aimed at raising awareness among French universities about publishing content on Wikipedia/Wikiversity projects. To set an example, I will soon be publishing all the copyright-free content in the field of music and audiovisual that I have created throughout my years of pedagogical and didactic practice. Before launching this project, I would like to unify my digital identity across the various pedagogical and didactic projects in which I am involved. I have noticed that the username "Grandsire" (which corresponds to my last name) is already in use on the global wiki. I understand that this involves changing the username of an existing account. However, I have noticed that this user has been inactive for several years now. I personally contacted him on his discussion page a few days ago to convey my request. I am unsure if he has been notified of my message. That is why I am making this request. I am also aware that using a real name is not recommended under Wikipedia's privacy policy. However, I intend to edit only content related to musicology and audiovisual material used in my academic practice, and not any controversial content. I hope that my request will be met with a positive response. Best regards

--Wyeim (talk) 08:19, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

  On hold until 5 November. I notified the user with the correct template (please remember that the template should be used only by renamers after evaluating the request. Best --Superpes15 (talk) 16:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Shahab~urwiki

Status:    Cannot be undertaken

--Shahab~urwiki (talk) 17:36, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Shahab~urwiki Global User Account Merges are not possible as the UserMerge extension is incompatible with CentralAuth. —MdsShakil (talk) 12:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
  Not done @Shahab~urwiki: If you still want to rename Shahab~urwiki, please make a new request here, or via global queue. Thanks for your understanding. --Superpes15 (talk) 00:16, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Slowking Man

Status:    Cannot be undertaken

--Slowking Man (talk) 06:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

@Slowking Man You probably want to merge the old accounts. Unfortunately, this is not possible anymore as the UserMerge extension is incompatible with CentralAuth. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 19:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
  Not done Unfortunately we cannot merge all these accounts --Superpes15 (talk) 00:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

RouteMedia 2

Status:    Not done

--RouteMedia 2 (talk) 09:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

  Not done RouteMedia 2. Renaming of this type (to an occupied username) is done for established accounts (for example 400 edits and six months' seniority), and you still do not meet these conditions. Feel free to apply again when you meet the conditions. Thanks, Neriah - 💬 - 21:29, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Աննա2020, Can you provide a reason for the request? Thanks. Neriah - 💬 - 21:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

A spam/vandalism account on en.wiktionary

Status:    Cannot be undertaken

--This, that and the other (talk) 22:43, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

@This, that and the other Basically, we don't change names forcibly, not even to blocked users, but I'd love to get an opinion from global renamer added. Neriah - 💬 - 12:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm not exactly sure what the account name is trying to refer to, but it feels potentially creepy/perverted and we shouldn't have to look at it every time we want to ping a user whose name starts with "a". This, that and the other (talk) 12:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
@This, that and the other: Could you please check if the issue still occurs? Superpes15 (talk) 13:45, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15 the issue is resolved. Thank you! Out of curiosity, what action did you take? This, that and the other (talk) 00:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
@This, that and the other: I lock-suppressed the user (didn’t seem disruptive in this case and looks like an immediate and easy solution)! Unfortunately a hidelock was not enough. At this point the request is solved (but the rename cannot be done). Thanks for the confirmation :) --Superpes15 (talk) 01:49, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

  Not done Slayyyter. Usernames may not represent a group, organisation, or business, a role within them, a product, a service, or a website. Your real name is not required, just something unique to you that represents YOU, not your job. Please read the Username policy, and choose another name.
(Em português: O nome de usuário parece ser publicitário. Nomes de empresas, organizações, grupos, sites ou nome de produtos como nome de usuário são proibidos pela política de nome de usuário. Por favor, escolha outro nome.) Neriah - 💬 - 21:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
