Can you then explain your activities on commons (which include spamming) and plwiki (which include vandalism)? The blocks aren't only username issues. Oppose renaming to avoid scrutiny. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage - sure. The spamming/vandalism is misunderstanding. I had already explained everything but username. This is the only issue I got right now. The user @Cybularny told me that he will unblock my account for editing when I got username changed. AutoMapa (talk) 16:27, 22 January 2020 (UTC) ?? --AutoMapa (talk) 09:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB: They are also blocked on commons for spamming (the username issue is secondary). They had not been unblocked on plwiki too. Just a note for you, I am thinking this is to prevent negative association with their company being blocked. I had a strong hunch that this is a shared used account. They said they had explained everything and username is the only issue. False, I did not see them explain anything anywhere at plwiki / commons. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
@Camouflaged Mirage: Well you might be right about negative association bit, but if they had continue editing, a rename was necessary in this case. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:21, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
@1997kB: I gotten your point of continue editing, my concerns is just along the lines of "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct." Thanks for your clarifications. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:52, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Status:    Not done
According to the Global rename policy the request must meet the following criteria: "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct." The rename does not change the block log, therefore nothing is concealed or obfuscated, nor do I have such intent. Furthermore there isn't any conduct concern in the last half year.
In light of these, the rename request qualifies as eligible for the Global rename policy. Please rename the account. Thank you!

Not done I think you should ask to arbcom for renaming, as I don't know whether you will be unblocked or not, but with an active block I'm hesitant to accept. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the response. Unfortunately ArbCom is very busy this time, much more important matters than this don't fit their schedule – like my unblock request –, please don't burden them and me with unnecessary bureaucratic rounds. This username is unpractically long, therefore I've been using the "Aron Man" signature for many months. I wished to rename to the similarly sounding, but more creative and meaningful "Irn-Man", however if that makes you hesitant, then please consider renaming to "AronMan" – one word, two capital letters, no space between. Please recall the Global rename policy which only requires that the rename is not seeking to "conceal or obfuscate" and reminds that the "The old name is duly and visibly linked". I hope this sufficiently justifies the request. Thank you for your careful consideration. If I may ask for it, please ping in your response. —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 19:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Well the policy says "history of conflicts/blocks", but you have an ongoing conflict/block which is yet to be resolved and we don't know the outcome. And renaming a blocked user without in the knowledge of local authorities clearly doesn't respect their policies. So in short it should be them who will decide that you should be renamed or not. @Aron Manning:. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
En.wiki ArbCom typically doesn’t have any comment on username changes and give a non-answer when asked. The local and global policy is essentially no renames that hide the identity of a user who is under scrutiny. Deal with the en.wiki block first, and then we can rename. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:30, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
  • "Aron Manning" -> "AronMan" (which signature I've been using for months) is certainly not hiding the identity, but thank you for your comment, TonyBallioni. I wouldn't expect a comment from ArbCom, either. However, it sounds to me that you are speaking on behalf of ArbCom, of which you are not a member. Would you clarify this?
Thank you for the ping, 1997kB. That partial citation from the policy with full context says "The old name is duly and visibly linked to the new name on any wiki where the user is active, or has a history of conflict or blocks." If the policy were to say it is not allowed to happen, there would be no reason to link the old account. This sentence in the policy is clearly a guidance for how to rename, implying that the rename does happen. I hope this clarifies what the policy says. Again, thank you for attending this request. —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 07:16, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
No, I’m speaking as a global renamer who has been through this scenario before. ArbCom typically kicks it to us and our interpretation of both global and local policy has consistently been “deal with your block first.” TonyBallioni (talk) 13:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Aron Manning

Status:    Not done
The requested name is updated to relieve any assumptions of "seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct" (GRP point 3) and any misunderstanding of GRP point 2: "The old name is duly and visibly linked to the new name on any wiki where the user is active, or has a history of conflict or blocks." which was cited as a reason to deny the request in case of "history of conflict or blocks", without the context of the full sentence.
To satisfy GRP point 2 please redirect my user pages (talk and subpages included) to the renamed pages. I believe this is standard practice, anyway.
Disclaimer: I'm active on meta and mediawiki wikis, enwiki is no longer my home, where I'm blocked and waiting for a justification for my block per policy and an acknowledgement of my appeals since July 2019.
I wish what happened on enwiki before and after my block wouldn't leave the boundaries of enwiki and negatively affect the application of global policies to my request, as seen in the archived discussion. I do note that TonyBallioni opted to participate in my case on enwiki (without being requested) and I believe this rename request is best left to uninvolved renamers. I also note that the two previous, similar scenarios he might be referring to requested completely different names where concerns of evading scrutiny (GRP point 3) were reasonably applied. This is not the case now as the requested name (updated in response to the concern) is just a shorter version of the original that I've been using for months as my signature.
1997kB: If you still feel "hesitant" or understand GRP point 2 as a reason to not rename, although it is a rule about how to rename, then feel free to leave this request to uninvolved renamers. Please make sure it's not archived prematurely, as the previous request. Thank you very much, I appreciate your diligence in attending rename requests.

—Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 03:23, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

We generally do not accept any rename request from indeffed user. That being said, I cannot find any reason why we should make an exception just for you. You have to fix your block problem, or give us a compelling reason to proceed anyway (which I am not convinced yet). — regards, Revi 12:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Revi, thank you for responding! About 20 compelling reasons came to mind, I'll write a few:
  1. I'm an active and valued contributor – regularly receiving positive feedback – on 2 wikis, the mediawiki discord and an occasional contributor on a few other wikis. (This should be a reason to be unblocked, not for a simple rename, but well...) Neutrality gives due weight.
  2. I've been using the requested name as my signo for many months.
  3. A humane reason: the current username is cumbersome, it is impractical with a space in the middle for a techie (it can't be selected with two clicks...) and it's too long. You have chosen your name much better and I was inexperienced when I've chosen mine. I'd like to have a more comfortable editing experience with a shorter, succinct username. If this tool would be serving the contributors' editing experience then this would be the reason to rename, without any more sweat.
  4. The requested username meets all 4 criterias of the policy: 1) "carefully selected", 2) "duly and visibly linked" (redirected, obviously), 3) see below, 4) the new name is not registered on any wiki (checked).
  5. GRP point 3: "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct."
    1. There is no bad conduct, I'm a beneficial contributor on multiple wikis. The original block is in the process of being appealed for 7 months now, the ball is in ArbCom's court.
    2. I'm not under scrutiny. Quite the opposite, I am seeking scrutiny and it's denied: I'm emailing the ArbCom every month to review my appeals and yet they haven't responded in the last 7 months, despite that en:wp:ARBPROC#Incoming_mail requires a response within 24 hours. Neither am I under scrutiny by admins: my paths to appeal were closed mostly without reason given, or with bureaucratic reasons and my appeals were ignored. Nobody seems to be interested in "scrutinizing" me, despite my requests. Something's amiss here. My impression is that I'm the victim of a never-ending bureaucratic time-waster. I hope that wouldn't spill onto meta.
    3. I reckon the cases referred to as "practice" requested fundamentally different names. Why would someone assume that "Aron Manning" -> "AronMan" (which is my signature) seeks to conceal anything?
    4. Since the advent of global accounts (SUL) a rename can't conceal a "history". I wonder what practical scenarios are imagined where that could happen, especially when the new name is almost the same as the old. I would appreciate if the commenters would clarify those scenarios they had in mind on the talk page and I ask them to do so.
  6. en:wp:NOTBURO. If the practice is not what the policy says that's a sign it has become too bureaucratic. Without any doubt the policy bears more significance than the practice. I reiterate that the so-called practice was applied to fundamentally different usernames, not similar names as in this case.
Side note: Generally, if the practice veered too far from the policy then the practice should be fixed to better serve to benefit the contributors' editing experience, without unnecessary bureaucratic struggles. Don't just "make an exception", improve the processes, the editing experience; reduce the level of bureaucracy and give due weight to the efforts of editors long after they were sanctioned.
There are many more reasons, if this wouldn't be compelling enough. Thank you for attending this request. Best regards —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 02:36, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
This was deliberated by global renamers and stewards on global-renamers(_AT_)lists (including your supplementary reasonings), and the consensus was not to grant this request. There was a unanimous consensus that you need to resolve your indefinite block before you can be allowed to have your username changed. For the renamers and stewards, — regards, Revi 20:01, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
@-revi: I'm at a loss for words regarding that decision. Without any justification it seems it completely ignored the fact that the rename request is eligible per the Global rename policy. Please provide the justification for this contradictory decision that is as thorough as my reasons above in 10 points, per en:wp:ADMINACCT. Please provide the policy citation for each point, where applicable - as you recall "Administrators are expected to follow Wikipedia policies" (en:wp:ADMINCOND) -, or in case of a "that is the practice" reasoning please provide the link to the previous cases that demonstrate the "practice" where the requested name was this similar to the original, therefore there was no concern about concealment.
In light of the decision not following policy it is concerning that comments from administrators involved in rejecting to evaluate my appeals on enwiki was taken into account. Please list the users who were available in this short timeframe of 18 hours to form a "unanimous consensus".
I kindly ask you to have a positive mindset about this request. I'm contributing in good faith, I would appreciate if good faith would apply to me as well. I find the "amendment" to a comment ("why we should make an exception just for you") particularly exclusionary. You aren't making an exception, you would be applying the policy as it is written. Equality is a fundamental priciple of our movement, why wouldn't the policies be applied equally to every editors?
In the lack of a justification I have serious concerns about this decision failing to meet the criterias of neutrality and good judgement. The decision was made within 18 hours. Please provide the thorough justification within one day, before the request gets archived.
Thank you in advance. Kind regards —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 02:47, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Continuing with the same wikilawyering that got you blocked on enwiki is inadvisable here. Beyond what is written in policy, account renaming is somewhat of a privilege reserved for users in good standing. I would recommend that you try to (re)gain that standing before continuing to make demands here. This request is closed. – Ajraddatz (talk) 04:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
@Ajraddatz: There is no wikilawyering, I am asking for a justified explanation. I find that allegation inappropriate. I have done my due diligence to justify my request, I believe it is appropriate to ask for the same in return, as a form of respect. This is not a demand however - I shouldn't even need to ask - and I reckon this decision will not be justified.
A correction to your statement: wikilawyering is not the reason for my block on enwiki, in fact, I was the victim of wikilawyering. If this concerns you, or you doubt it, I'm willing to give a recollection of the events on the user talk page.
It sounds to me that you are implying repercussions, therefore I won't be furthering this request, but it needs to be reviewed transparently: my inqury for an explanation was unanswered and I feel that my request was supressed. —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 06:43, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: My name is Matthew Liss and I have practicing law for over 25 years. During the summer of 1991 (prior to the start of my first year in law school at Southern Illinois University), I had received formal notice from the Dean of the SIU School of Law confirming my acceptance into the School of Law as a member of the Class of 1994. Later that evening or the following evening, while I was working (at a local Carbondale restaurant & bar), a good friend and co-worker of mine stopped to offer her congratulations to me for being accepted into the SIU School of Law. Knowing my last name (Liss), she then proceeded to look directly into my eyes and informed me that my new name was "LAWLISS." Suffice it to say the name took hold and for the past thirty (30) or so years, "LAWLISS" has been my nickname (or handle, so to speak). A few years later, as the Internet came into formal existence, the nickname that my friend had conveyed upon me the summer before I entered law school, became forever memorialized as my official user name (i.e. "handle") both in the electronic world as well as the real world. In addition to being known these past thirty or so years as "LAWLISS" by all my family and friends, I have also used "LAWLISS" as my official "username" for hundreds (if not more) business relationships, accounts, etc. Moreover, back in the late 90's, I registered the internet domain "lawliss.com" and have maintained same ever since. With very rare exception (very rare), I have always been the first individual to claim the name "LAWLISS" in all my online and offline business and personal dealings/accounts.

Fast forward to a day or two ago, I made a very small donation to Wikipedia (always skeptical of legitimacy/hackers - hence the small donation), and this morning, while researching the web for something, I attempted to logon to Wikipedia (which, surprisingly, I had never before done), only to be informed that the name "LAWLISS" was already in use. After researching further, my best guess is that I had setup "LAWLISS" as my Wikipedia username many years ago and simply had forgotten about it. Hence my request for assistance with changing my new Wikipedia username ("LAWLISSMML") to "LAWLISS".

I hope the foregoing detail sufficiently sets forth the basis for my request. If not, please advise - and many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,

Matthew Liss a/k/a LAWLISS wikipedia@acuitydev.com --LAWLISS (talk) 11:52, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

@D-Kuru: please note you can't create a new account with username EMD when it is renamed. It will say the username is too similair to EMD (usurped). So a new rename will still be necessary or an administrator has to create the new account. Maybe it is better if you create a new account with another username and request a rename to EMD. DutchTina (talk) 22:40, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
I also thought that this might be easier, but I didn't want to block a username that may could be used by others. On the other hand if a username is random noone will ever use it I guess --D-Kuru (talk) 04:23, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
If you did so, the process would be the same as right now. The only difference would be that EMD would be renamed to EMD (usurped) and your account would be renamed to EMD directly. Now you have to registrate it but I see no problem there anymore thanks to 1997kB. :) DutchTina (talk) 10:41, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

@D-Kuru: You can get another password by c:Special:PasswordReset after 24 hours. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:02, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@Bobatealee: User Boba have valid contributions (62 in fact) on dewiki, so this account is not eligible for usurption. If you still want to be renamed please choose another one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:53, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
@1997kB: I'm specifically looking to have my name changed to Boba on the English Wikipedia. The account seems to have been renamed on there, but I wasn't able to register it. I made a request for the account on the usurp page, and I was told to go here. Bobatealee (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@Bobatealee: Unfortunately that's not possible, accounts are global, so it is not possible to rename you only on English Wikipedia. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@1997kB: Alright, I wasn't aware of this. Thank you. Is the username "BobaTea" available? Bobatealee (talk) 16:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@Bobatealee: Yes, BobaTea is available. Should I proceed rename to it? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:22, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@1997kB: Yes, please! Thank you for your help. Bobatealee (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
