Simple rename requests
Ɪ
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Ɪ (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: ɪ (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: ɪ → Ɪ
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: ɪ, an account which has been running smoothly for 11 years in a row, has unexpectedly — and quite meaninglessly — been moved to Ɪ by an automatic maintenance script. If there is a technical possibility to restore the conceptual lowercase, please do. (As of now, no global account with that name exists, checked.)
- @ɪ: As far as I know, usernames cannot start with lowercase letters. However, you can make your signature and userpage display as lowercase by changing your signature in Special:Preferences and adding
{{DISPLAYTITLE:User:ɪ}}
to your userpage. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 03:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC) - ɪ, PHP, on which Wikipedia is based, has been upgraded to the latest version. One of the changes is that it is now aware of the upper/lowercase Cyrillic letters. Usernames (and article names) ALL start with an uppercase letter. Now that the underlying software is Cyrillic-case-aware usernames (& userpages) sarting with a lowercase Cyrillic letter become inaccessible. Reverting to the lowercase letter is not possible.
- Previously explained at Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/82884. Cabayi (talk) 12:06, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Cabayi, small capital ɪ belongs to the Latin alphabet. Thanks for the technical details, though. Upgraded PHP so upgraded. — ɪ (talk) 09:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Vanished user 3642795
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Vanished user 3642795 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Bardberic (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: At w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jizzygizzyfoshizzyyy I confirmed that this vanished user is a sockpuppet of Jizzygizzyfoshizzyyy. As vanishing is for users in good standing, and this user is a sock, such a vanishing should probably be reversed.

FaZe MajdaŠvagan
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: FaZe MajdaŠvagan (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: WikipediaUrejevalec420 (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 name does not follow wikipedia policy and I don't want to create any problems.
--FaZe MajdaŠvagan (talk) 17:34, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- @FaZe MajdaŠvagan: Your new choice sends a message that you work for Wikipedia, if that's not the case, I'd advise to choose something different. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 10:53, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- @FaZe MajdaŠvagan: As original name COI warning issuer, I'd advise something else as 420 or 69. These naumbers may not be well accepted in different wiki user groups (not slwiki specifically). Of course, if you don't want to, you don't need to. Sincerely, A09090091 (talk) 18:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Would it be possible to change the name to IEdit492. I hope this name isn't problematic as I don't want to create any problems. FaZe MajdaŠvagan (talk) 14:57, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- @IEdit492: Done. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 21:16, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Adroidthene
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: JuanMartinExeni (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Adroidthene (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: When I made this account I was like 12 years old, I think. Now that I have grown up I regret having put my actual name. That's why I request to change this username to Adroidthene if you may, please. I would like to eradicate my real name the most as possible on here, actually.
JuanMartinExeni (talk) 02:16, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Adroidthene: Done. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 07:05, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Tado
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Tado (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: -tado-mi (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: personal preference + I want to keep my usernames consistent across places. thank you!
Edit: it is quite important to me to get the first `T` in a small letter `t`. If `_tado-mi` will turn to `_Tado-mi`, as 't' is still interpreted as the first character, may I ask to change my username either to `-tado-mi` or, if that would also turn to `-Tado-mi`, to a katakana version - `タド`? thanks a lot, and I apologize for any inconvenience! --Tado (talk) 17:41, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Tado: AFAIK, a username cannot begin with spaces nor underscores. For example, User: Tado and User:_Tado are automatically redirected to User:Tado. Thus, I highly recommend you to choose "-tado-mi", just like what -revi did. Unnamed UserName me 11:03, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

BashurMan
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: BashurMan (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: HurricaneDanMan (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: Personal preference. If possible make new username consistent across all Wikimedia platforms.
- Not done @BashurMan: Please deal with block on English Wikipedia first. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:20, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
NotReallySoroka
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: NotReallySoroka (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: DePlume (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 “Soroka” part of username is an obvious reference to a real baseball player (with the “NotReally” part reflecting the fact that I am not affiliated with him); while I like my current username, it would create complications when I edit Mike-related pages, something that could be averted by reverting to my old username.
--NotReallySoroka (talk) 07:31, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- @NotReallySoroka: Are you absolute sure? Just for your information you won't be allowed for another rename for next 6 months. So please make sure this is your final username? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: May I be educated with the place where the six months requirement is listed on Meta? Thank you. --NotReallySoroka (talk) 05:42, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- @NotReallySoroka: It's not listed anywhere specifically but it's a common practice among renamers to reduce misuse of rename function. Users who request rename frequently and/or back-and-forth between username are mostly advised to wait 6 months before another rename. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:42, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Thank you for alerting me to this unwritten rule. I respect it, and I ask that my renaming request be withdrawn in light of it. Thanks, NotReallySoroka (talk) 04:29, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

--Orbit Wharf (talk) 05:05, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Question: The thing that I concerned about your request, after permenantly blocked in a wiki you opened a ticket immediatly. Sorry but your reason is too general; could you mind if you inform me about your personal preference please if it is not private? Thanks in advance. Vincent Vega msg? 20:14, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Orbit Wharf, You're currently blocked on the English wiki. Renaming policy requires "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct" - https://w.wiki/rsg Cabayi (talk) 12:31, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Simpler.
-- (☎) 04:36, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Timmyboger: I see the account that you want to rename has made 18 edits on zh.wiki and meta.wiki and this can be a barrier forthrough your name changeer. Furthermore, It was only created 8 months ago and it is likely that the user will soon return to contribute in the future. I think you should consider and choose a different username. Mạnh An (talk) 07:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Timmyboger: The target account has valid edits, which is a barrier to usurpation. Please choose another username. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 12:35, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Timmyboger: Not done, request withdrawn. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 17:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Lrx has no edits and only exist in French wikipedia and I want a short username.
- On hold until 9 November, notified via email. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:46, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

- New Username: Unloose (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: "Unloosek" does not mean anything; it was a random choice since "Unloose" was already taken. I found that the user "Unloose" has 0 edits, so I would like to usurp their username.
- On hold until 9 November. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:46, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

- New Username: Heidelbergensis (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 want to change my username for purely aesthetic reasons, nothing special. Account Heidelbergensis on German Wikipedia has registered 10 years ago (29 August 2011) and never made an edit on any project. I don't think there are any issues with usurping their name, and I appeal to your generosity about it. Thanks.

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: If that's ineligible, then Brigid (talk · contribs). I unadvisedly chose my current username as a respelling of Aryana or Ariana, common first names in some countries. I didn't think of it then, but the similar spelling might bring up terrible ideologies like Aryanism or the Aryan race. A totally different name would be great, so I can avoid giving the wrong impression. Thanks!

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Username sounds ridiculous with "the" in front of it. I only added it there because "Nicodene" was already taken by someone who, apart from creating it, has done nothing else with the account.

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

- Reason: (When I made BOO9 I was quite young and didn't realize what this is. Now that I want to make more contributions to Wikimedia I want a nickname that suits me better. I know that Jodok made some edits but they are more than 11 years old. If this is not possible I will find something else but I'm just curious if Jodok is gone forever. Thanks for your time!)

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

- @Fffv7787: Hi, I don't know if you misspelled the username you want to change but I find that the username you want to change doesn't exist globally yet. If you misspelled the name you want to change, please correct it. Or if you still want to keep changing your username, you don't have to do anything, just wait patiently. Thanks Mạnh An (talk) 07:37, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Mạnh An: Hello. I know there is no user, but there is a user whose username looks like and because the username looks like, my requests are rejected. Fffv7787 (talk) 11:34, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

- Jeff G., I didn't see a good reason to usurp Alpad or I'd have suggested it. I also have concerns over the related request for an un-flagged bot account, and the very recently blocked sockpuppet Fffv77890 (ping CubicStar, the blocking admin). Cabayi (talk) 12:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Cabayi:, Fffv77890 was a sockpuppet by a troll who's into disrupting editing, reverts and so on. That person creates new accounts though using somewhat similar usernames to existing users is something new. --cubic[*]star 05:15, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My old name is my real name and I do not want everybody to see it. Also, on the Hungarian Wikipedia Username change page, I read that 'if I have few edits, I had better register a new account', but I did not want to lose my contents, so I redirected my user talk page, but Administrator Pagony told me that it does not work this way. So, I want to usurp the name from myself.

Douken~eswiki
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Douken~eswiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Douken (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: Before SUL I created Douken in eswiki and Douken in enwiki, after SUL I lost access to Douken and eswiki Douken became Douken~eswiki. I want Douken as my global login. We need to merge Douken~eswiki to Douken. Thank you.

- @Douken~eswiki: Como dice claramente esta sección: We are sorry to announce that Global User Account Merges are not possible. As such, we will not accept any request to merge user accounts as it is technically impossible at this moment to do so. --LuchoCR (talk) 17:20, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Personal preference. I understand that it's a usurp but the old account never edited outside project/user space and only has 10 edits from 8 years ago.

- Hi @CuriousGolden:. I usurped the requested username, however I could not rename you because of similar usernames. Maybe @1997kB: can take a look and help us. Vincent Vega msg? 21:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- Done I renamed. Sorry for inconvenience @1997kB:. Regards. Vincent Vega msg? 21:52, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

- @Love Comes in Spurts 2: en:User:Love Comes in Spurts is indefinitely blocked, as it appears to have been created by Grawp. Are you sure you want to be associated with that? -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 11:28, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Jeff G.: I'm not bothered. I'll just do my thing in peace and quiet on en.wikt, so any potential association will hopefully be quickly forgotten. Love Comes in Spurts 2 (talk) 12:39, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

{{Notdone}}, request appears to have been withdrawn.-- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 23:42, 6 November 2021 (UTC)- @Jeff G.: Sorry if that wasn't clear, but no, I haven't withdrawn my request. I'm just saying I'm not bothered with the username I want to usurp belonging to Grawp. So if that's all right, could you do the renaming please? Love Comes in Spurts 2 (talk) 00:07, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Love Comes in Spurts 2: Sorry, I misinterpreted. The target account is indefinitely blocked on English Wikipedia, which may be a barrier to usurpation. If you had to choose another username, what would that be? -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 06:18, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Also your account isn't eligible for usurpation request. So please choose a different username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:33, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
