Hi, I'm active on German Wikipedia under username "Ulm" and started to contribute also to the English Wikipedia, so far as IP only.

SWik78 was created when I didn't think I would contribute to Wikipedia on a regular basis. Since then, I've found that a name that appears to most people as a semi-random sequence of numbers and characters (which is what SWik78 was intended to be) can be difficult to remember, repeat or refer to in a discussion because it's probably difficult to figure out how it should be pronounced.

 * Comments This is my third such request, as the previous ones were denied because an User:Eurocopter account exists and made 7 edits (6 on 1 June 2008 and 1 on 14 June 2008). However, that user did not make any new edit since then. I strongly need this name change, given that I am a coordinator of the Military history WikiProject and i'm talking every day with quite many different people (even officials sometimes). Due to these, my current username is innapropiate for serious conversations. I also own "User:Eurocopter" on ro:wiki. I wonder if anything could be done in order to move that user together with his 7 edits to something like "Eurocopter 2"? Thank you very much. --Eurocopter (talk) 09:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * When am I likely to hear more info on this? To answer the ClueBot's point about the target having one edit - that one edit was in 2004, and was reversed very soon after as the edit itself was a mistake that was very soon reversed. The user then never edited again. On my part, I wish to usurp the name because I will mainly be editing in and around the topic of Freemasonry and I no longer use the tag 'Middlesex Fire' in this regard on other online projects - instead I am increasingly using the name 'Mycroft'.

 * For bureaucrat use: Email target username  ( [ 1 ])  ([ 2 ])  Hi, "Redbluefire" is the name I use as my single online identity, and I'd like to contribute to Wikipedia under a user account rather than anonymously as I have for some time; I know it's unorthodox to grant a usurpation to a new user account, but I'd appreciate it if I could take over this account, which has no activity.  My memory may even be so bad that I have forgotten that I registered this account sometime ago, and thus the password escapes me. Maybe i'm posting from the same IP range this account was registered from? I am the only "Redbluefire" evident in any major search engine, and this may be proven because I control any and all accounts that are returned in a web search's results, and will be glad to verify them if need be.

Reason: My current username (Kenllama) is one associated with my personal life, but I'm increasingly talking about Wikipedia in my professional life. I'm a librarian, and have started giving talks on how librarians can include WP in their professional activities. I'd like to be able to show them the work that I've been doing without sharing the personal username that appears in other parts of the internets. It appears that the requested username (Kenirwin) was created over two years ago and has never been used. (It's just faintly possible that I created that account; I really don't know. That was right around when I started using WP for work-related purposes.) Whoever User:Kenirwin is or was, I would be grateful if I could move User:Kenllama's history to that username. Thanks!

I do however wish to mark the sites that I have been editing anonymously (or via IP): A. Most all of my edits are adding internal links to articles that are missing them. correcting internal inaccuracies (such as artical A says article B as saying 50,000 troops, but clicking on the link says something like 55,000 troops. I correct artical A to reflect what has been established in article B.

B. I also ocasionally add/update links to external "offical" sites for items/products referanced without links.

C. Once in a great while I update spelling or grammer (specifically obvious problems where re-editing has left extra words such as "widget a was and/or considered failed", I read around it to see what was intended and update it.

That's it, hope you can help me out. I'm not overly "bold" but I do contribute and it would help me out a lot to login as caldwelljt.
