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

- Reason: I just want some details so I don't get too identified with the name of the other user @LeonardoG:, he's been inactive for years on the project.
- @LeonaardoG, Are you sure, to me it still looks too similar to @LeonardoG. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- @1997kB:, Yes I'm sure I want you to rename it just like I asked please wait for response. -- LeonaardoG (talk) 02:45, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Meta has changed a lot lately and has a lot of bureaucracy for nickname renaming rules. Before, I observed users asking for a rename and a matter of seconds the request was made. --LeonaardoG (talk) 03:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

- The new name means "sleeping for 12 hours" and looks fine; current name is also not an insulting name. The reason is "requesting for rename due to various reasons". ネイ (talk) 06:59, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

- completed. The request raised far earlier than the registration of account "Taichung elephants" which got no meaningful contribution and globally locked. Hence, the account "Taichung elephants" was usurped to complete the request.--J.Wong 17:35, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

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

- Reason: I created a user Christian Schirm in 2006 at de.wikipedia.org and the user "Chrischi" in 2007 at commons.wikimedia.org for uploading media files. Since I renamed my wikipedia name to Physikinger I would now like to rename my (old) commons account to a more similar name "PhysikingerC" (since merging is not possible any more).

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I am wondering whether I can get this name(or CatsOnMars) when similar names, such as Catsonmars and Cat.on.mars, exist. Neither seems active since 2009. While Catsonmars holds 80 edits until 2009 but confusingly registered in 2013, I believe it may be more harmless to use CatOnMars instead since Cat.on.mars owned a deleted edit only.
- @Superpes15:, @1997kB:, @MdsShakil: what do you think about this case? Vincent Vega msg? 17:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- The antispoof only reports "Cat.on.mars". I don't think it's an issue. Btw I didn't understand if the chosen name is "CatsOnMars" or "CatOnMars" (the last one is even less confusing)! Superpes15 (talk) 07:30, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- I think CatOnMars can be taken, closest name Catsonmars has no edit since 2009. @方的1P it's showing registered in 2013 probably the cause of SUL —MdsShakil (talk) 06:30, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

- @J.A.W.P.U.S.E.R. I hate mad mother.: You said you created a temporary account. Can you confirm this from your main account by writing here? Please remind that new users are not allowed to ask for usurpation, because some experience and good conduct are required. Generally you can ask for usurpation after at least 6 months from the registration (and if you have a certain activity - then a number of edits that demonstrate some experience). Best regards. --Superpes15 (talk) 11:21, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I didn't know that the change would allowed to actively contributed person. I am the main account. I haven't written that we are the same person yet because I will reflect it after the user name is changed, but the same person controls the two account.
