My current name seemed much cooler when I chose it, but now I'm a college student and would like to be somewhat more professional. It's my real middle name, which does not (I believe) quite count as a privacy concern the way that a real first/last name would, but I have reviewed the policy regarding real names and I feel comfortable with it.

 * Reasoning = why not, they're my initials. I may have even created the account years back and can't recall the password or email used. If approved, I will want to change the name to all caps, ie NJA (though I realise that is likely a separate process). Cheers, NJA (t/ c)  21:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Yea that would be fine, I would need someone who has access to the ACC tool to approve it. I used to, but it was taken away as I wasn't very active in it. I'll send a request now and if you have ACC tool access possibly approve it? What about the Nja name though? I think I might have created it, but cannot remember login details. However in case I'm wrong, I'd hate for someone to be able to login with a nearly identical name. Cheers, NJA (t/ c)  07:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * OK, you have now really confused me, particularly as we now seem to be discussing this both here and on my talkpage. Lets see if I can work out what happened:
 * Do I understand that you have now created User:NJA? That wasn't what I was suggesting, I was pointing out that I could just rename User:Nja247 to User:NJA.
 * What is it that bothers you about User:Nja? Are you worried that this accout, which has not edited since June 2006, will suddenly start editing again?
 * What I think you want me to do is:
 * I rename User:Nja to User:Nja (usurped).
 * I rename User:NJA to User:NJA (usurped).
 * I rename User:Nja247 to User:NJA.
 * Is that what in fact you want? <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">WJBscribe (talk) 10:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. If I can have 247 become NJA (contribs and rights moved) then that's fantastic. As for Nja, I wouldn't want someone to use it as it could easily be confused with NJA. I do apologise for not understanding what you meant, and further for mucking it all up this morning.

I use this name in the German and Swedish Wiki. I think - not really sure - that I created the account at the English Wikipedia in 2007 too. But it could be done without an e-mail or the account is not existing longer and the password forgotten. Furthermore there is no activity to find for this account.

Therefore I would like to ask to assign this account to me.

 * Indeed. However, Tyw7 needs to make an account to rename first - it is not possible to "give" you an existing account. This account will be nullified after the rename. In addition, this discussion may also be relevant here. In brief, the rough consensus was that creating doppelgänger accounts via usurpation/username change, especially short or otherwise plausible usernames, was undesirable because they deny users on other wikis the use of an account for editing in favour of one that will not edit. <font style="font-family: Vivaldi"> Intelligent  sium  03:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks, it's an odd concern. The issue is that someone from the Spanish WP Speedo might at some future point fancy usurping the English WP Speedo account (for which no SUL exists). If someone on yet another language WP has a Speedo account the same logic would apply and the Spanish WP Speedo would have a usurp rejected too, guaranteeing that no usurp could ever be allowed. This seems somewhat flawed logic, particularly as "first come first served" might be a fairer approach... I wonder if I asked the Spanish WP Speedo if they had any possible interest if that would solve the issue?—Speedoguy (talk) 08:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have raised the question for es:user:Speedo, see diff, in order to address the possible concern. Thinking through the usurp guidance, I would have thought that if the user does not reply within a reasonable period (7 days perhaps) that a tacit disinterest could be assumed. Happy to take advice, or be told I'm wasting my time, without taking it personally.—Speedoguy (talk) 08:40, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Checking the global contributions, I note that Speedo accounts exist and have contributed for Finnish, German, Polish and Vietnamese as well as the aforementioned Spanish account. These are obviously not all the same user so in this case it would never be possible for a SUL to work globally for the name Speedo so the concern seems moot and first-come-first-served still looks like the fairest option here, particularly as I'm not interested in a SUL (and have made more contributions than any of the aforementioned users).—Speedoguy (talk) 12:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

In addition it's not only obvious because of my interwikis but also because of my front user pages: on every one of them the languages I say to speak are linked to their corresponding wikis (it's so immediately obvious...). Because I was requesting an usurpation I really thought you clerks would take a careful look at my user page (and at the targeted user page also), sorry then if only now I discover it was in fact necessary to point out that I own all four accounts (no offense, please, I'm not being sarcastic but honest, really). In addition, again, check, please, current-Kintaro's contributions on his own user and discussion pages: his user page was created by himself pretending that http://kintaro. kicks-ass.org/ is his personal website! in later contributions he pretends his personal website is a japanese laboratory... I'm sorry, no offense, but this guy is not serious at all. On the other hand I'm a serious guy who requests to usurp the account of another guy who abandoned it more than two years ago and who started his own discussion page with the phrase "I fucking rock"...

 * Hey, before you write "Not done" below this just please take the time to read this feeble plea of mine; then you can go ahead and write "Not done" as you wish. Fair enough? Thanks.


 * I've found this account, after wondering if it had been created so I could take the opportunity to rename myself into something more awesome. It was apparently created in 2006 and indef-blocked for its username, though I do not understand what would be wrong with using such a username if there are other users editing under names of more well-known mascots, such as User:Wikipede (though I am not trying to objectify Mountainwriter for the sake of a name, his contributions are valuable in nature). Even more puzzling is the fact that User:Wikipedian, which on a far larger scale represents Wikipedians was not indef-blocked for this kind of thing; albeit the user admittedly "parking" the username with only one edit by the user to their own userpage. (Further investigation shows that a usurpation of that account was denied in the past, which is just how this may probably end nonetheless; you may reject this per their criteria. I thought it couldn't hurt to try though.)


 * So I've gone to WP:USERNAME and checked out the four basic reasons usernames are not appropriate; this is obviously not promotional, offensive, or disruptive. It's the possible misleading quality of this that I continue on about. Going to Wikipe-tan's article, which states that she's a "community mascot"; so by usurping this username I may be making an unintentional misrepresentation, as in declaring myself "official", which I do not desire to do.


 * Yes, I know I may be making a big deal out of this, as if this usurpation was blown-up to some request for permissions or something. And I am aware odds are against me in this situation, it may cause a few inconveniences, clogging a few tubes here and there. I'm not hiding that.


 * In addition, I am also willing to relinquish my hold on my current SUL. If this usurpation is carried out I will immediately request for a steward to delete my SUL.


 * In conclusion- I'm just a puny rollbacker... if you just let it be and give me the account, I'll continue my job and strive to improve. If you don't, heck, I wasn't begging anyone for anything, it won't dampen my interest, I'll shut up and go back to my rollbacking and page patrolling, content and all the same. :D Many thanks and warm regards, ♠  12:27, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I am bg:User:Leonardo Da Vinci and I would like to request usurpation of the local account User:Leonardo Da Vinci in order to globalize my account, see http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Leonardo+Da+Vinci and http://bg.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Leonardo_Da_Vinci&diff=2994901&oldid=2994501. The local account has 0 edits. I understood that it has been indefinitely blocked on 13:26, 15 July 2006 because of "obvious abusive sockpuppet" but I hope that my request for usurpation will be deemed eligible.

"Tim Thomason" was my previous User name on Wikipedia (and several other Wikimedia groups) prior to April 2007. Due to unknown causes, I was unable to sign in with my old password on any of those sites. After several exhaustive methods trying to remedy the situation (mainly via chat with Wikia and Wikipedia folk), I gave up and just adopted my current username for any uses on Wikipedia.

I have felt that usurpation was unlikely in the past due to the fact that "User:Tim Thomason" did not have a confirmed e-mail in the past. However, that "User:Tim Thomason" has claimed to be an editor on several other Wikia wikis, and the e-mail on Wikia and Memory Alpha matches with the current one for "User:Tim Thomasons Temporary Username" (as detailed on the User:Tim Thomason page).--Tim Thomason 07:52, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Rather convoluted situation here (see 2010021010003581 if you have OTRS access). In short, User:Wbenton was registered in 2008, and has made no edits. A user claiming ownership of the account has contacted OTRS requesting assistance resetting his password, but there is no email address registered for the account. Due to various confusion between enwiki and commons accounts, an account User:Wbenton-test was created for the OTRS correspondent. He would now like to usurp User:Wbenton, which would appear to be in order. I am asking him to sign in here to confirm that he agrees to the request. Stifle (talk) 14:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree with above request as I created that account back in 2008 and already own that same name Wbenton name on Wikicommons. wbenton (talk) 16:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC) Wbenton-test

Heb (or heb) is my most used usernames around the digital world.

"Anunnaki" (and "Anunnakki" when the single-K version was taken) are user names I used all across the internet, but I am now in the process of phasing this out in exchange for one I feel is more appropriate for me.

DwayneFlanders → Dwayne
The user Dwayne has been inactive for awhile and no activity has been going on this account for years, it makes no sense for an username to just be sitting on Wikipedia with nothing on it. Last contribs was in 2005. And i left a message on the user's talk page about reclaiming the account but yet no response. I have also tried to e-mail the target user but there is no e-mail associated with this account. This account has just been sitting here, we need to give it to someone who actually wants to edit Wikipedia. If your going to make an account then abandoned it then your just taking up space on Wikipedia. I really want this account, but im trying to get in contact with the person that owns this account but i cant.

I'm currently using "SaMi" in all other Wikimedia projects, including Commons.

I'm requesting usurpation of the account Grunny after I was advised that this may be possible in borderline cases like this. I'm a long-time Wiki user but only recently started editing on Wikimedia. I have however, been registered under the user name Grunny since 2005 on Wikia, where I volunteer as a member of the SpamTaskForce which is a kind of global sysop for countering vandalism and spam across Wikia Wikis. However, I only created an account on Wikimedia in September last year, not aware that it had been previously taken on Wikipedia in 2007 for one edit. For reference my main wiki on Wikia is Wookieepedia (my user page there), where I have been active since 2005, and my central user page can be found here. I'm also active or am an administrator on various projects there such as the Harry Potter Wiki and Firefly and Serenity Database. My current SUL for the user name Grunny on Wikimedia is. So far on Wikimedia I have been most active on Wikiversity and Simple Wikipedia where I am rollbacker mainly involved in countervandalism. I also contribute to Pathoschild's stewbot project on github under the user name Grunny and have held the nick Grunny on Freenode for some time. And so, I was hoping to get a SUL rename request for the old Grunny account so that I could begin editing on Wikipedia under my user name which I would love to do. I understand, however, if this usurpation is not possible. Also, sorry for the formatting of this request, I didn't think I needed to create an account just for this request so I thought this might do instead. Here is a diff showing that I am the same Grunny active on other projects. Thank you, 61.69.197.220 (talk) 01:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I am Utar from cs_wiki and I would like to make a global login.

I have done some contributions on dewiki, sk_wiki and cs_commons too. Accounts named Utar on en_, pl_, uk_ and zh_wikis aren`t mine but they hardly have contributions (I will apply for their usurpations for joining of them to my global account later on their wikis).

I'm aware there are edits on the other account but it hasn't been used for 4 years and the only wiki edit was to turn a word into a wikilink, so no content has been added other than to the userpage. People get us confused as I sign in the lowercase because the uppercase looks too aggressive. When I signed up 4 years ago I never really gave it a thought so if it is possible to take over the unused friendlier spelling that would be great.
