I signed up for a Wikipedia account as "iacas" a looooooong time ago when Wikipedia didn't have email addresses (or I didn't put one). As such, "iacas" is my account and I'm basically attempting to recover it, but with a valid email address this time and a password I can properly save and store somewhere so I won't forget it as I have now. I use the username "iacas" in quite a few places so I'm hopeful to be able to "usurp" my own account. Thank you.

JKtemp → Jankok
JKtemp (talk) 21:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC) I created the Jankok account several years ago, apparently never used it for any edits, forgot the password, attempted to reset the password about a year ago (but the original email account that I used was long gone), and now I want to create a new account "Jan Kok" but that is too similar to the old account. May I please usurp the Jankok account but have the JKtemp account renamed to "Jan Kok" rather than Jankok? Thanks.

 * No need to usurp, then rename, shouldn't we just go straight to the rename? The account is unused so even if we weren't willing to take your word for it, you would've been able to get Jan Kok at WP:ACC anyway. – xeno talk 15:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Joequincy2010 → Joe Quincy
Joequincy2010 (talk) 00:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC) I use the username "joequincy" elsewhere on the internet (pretty much everywhere I have an account, in fact). I would like to be able to use that username here as well, but am prevented from doing so because the username "Joe Quincy" already exists, and is too similar. Since that user has zero contributions, I would like to Usurp the name, and then change to "joequincy". If it is possible to do that in one step, I would greatly appreciate it.

RN → Ryan Norton
RN 09:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC) The story goes that I probably created this account before RN, lost my password, then the obvious happened. I asked for it years ago, the technology just wasn't there. The reasoning is I'm an old-school wiki editor and prefer to use my real name when editing. This also has an added bonus of conflicting with the other language wikiprojects less.

 * Of course, I hinted at it in the introduction. Everyone has thier own opinions on the matter, but I've wanted this change for years; if people really wanted to track me down in real life they could do it just as easily with the RN moniker. Besides, I've edited other "popular" wikis before wikipedia came to life using my real name. If I get more harrassment, then so be it I suppose - being an administrator on deletion and vandalism patrol years ago I'm quite used to it, really. RN 13:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Of note, I recently got my meta username changed on meta, where I was also previously a admin, so this is the only other substantial account that needs to be moved. The user pages have also redirected to my pages for nearly 5 years. RN 18:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

At the moment, I am returning from a temporary wikibreak.  I no longer wish to use a pseudonym that sounds like a real name, but is not my name.

Yes, I would like to be renamed to User:La_comadreja. Is it necessary for the existing Username Lacomadreja to be vacated? Unless it is, I am ok with this other person keeping his old username. Also, what happens to my Wikiversity custodianship and my old Username when my name is transferred? I'd like to transfer my custodianship to my new Username, and for my old Userpage to link to my new one with an explanation (written by me) of what happened.

 * Well we could perform the rename now, but are you then planning to then usurp yourself when you switch over to "Jess" globally?

 * Yes I am, but aren't you meant to create the SUL from your main Wiki? Which in my case would be this Wikipedia? -- Jack • <font style="font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 105%">?! 18:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the "home wiki" will gravitate to whatever wiki has the most edits. Not sure though. You don't necessarily have to unify right now.
 * You are right in that acquiring Jack on a global scale will be quite difficult, the it., fr., and fi., Jacks are active and have many contribs.
 * This request looks fine to proceed after the hold period. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 19:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it makes your home wiki whichever has the most edits (in my case, Wikipedia.en). If this usurpation goes through, I would like my home wiki to be Wikipedia.en, and so I cannot yet make it my home wiki, so I think it would be best I wait and see if this goes through. -- Jack • <font style="font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 105%">?! 19:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, my thought was that since all the Bydand accounts have no edits at the moment, you could make one edit at either wikt:User:Bydand or meta:User:Bydand making temporarily the home wiki allowing you to create the SUL and unify those two accounts. This would increase your elegibility for the enwiki account usurpation. Then, after the usurpation, you could join the enwiki account to the SUL and since it has the most edits of the SUL accounts, it would become the home wiki. Hope this helps.  Set Sail For The Seven Seas   298° 55' 15" NET   19:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, now that you own commons:User:Bydand and it has the most edits, you can just create the SUL with this account with out the one edit to the other accounts. However, as xeno wisely says above, it's not a necessity. It just prevents other editors from creating Bydand accounts on other wikis and creating the SUL account before you, preventing you from gaining SUL all together. Also, the sysop flag take priority over edit count in home wiki choice. Hope this helps.  Set Sail For The Seven Seas   299° 55' 30" NET   19:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. I've done that now, Commons is now my home wiki. I can make this my home wiki if this usurpation goes through, right? Thanks for the help guys. -- Jack • <font style="font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 105%">?! 20:22, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it'll automatically gravitate to the highest-edited wiki; if not you can have a steward delete the global account and re-unify. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 20:26, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks guys. Is it really important which wiki is my 'home' wiki? What is different between this being my home wiki and commons being it? -- Jack • <font style="font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 105%">?! 23:10, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Xeno requested that I check with User:K in ja.wiki (who Xeno said has the best claim to a unified login name), and I also asked User:K in no.wikt on her/his user talk page to try to make sure s/he did not wish to use "K" as a unified login. I have done so. User:K in ja.wiki has responded in English (here) that s/he already has another username in en.wiki, giving explicit permission to use "K" in en.wiki. User:K in no.wikt has not responded to date.

 * The no.wikt editors has the claim to the SUL, so it's really their agreement that is needed. Are you sure you want this rename? As I understand it, one day SUL will become mandatory - i.e. it will be impossible for more than one editor to have the same name across Wikimedia projects. I don't know what the timescale is for that, but that's the goal of the SUL process. If you only have the name on enwiki with the assent of User:K on jawiki and nowikt, you will presumably have to abandon the name and be renamed to something else if it becomes impossible to have multiple users with the same name. We simply cannot guarantee that you will be able to remain User:K on enwiki forever. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">WJBscribe (talk) 11:06, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * WJBscribe, I'm reluctant to speculate whether SULs will ultimately actually become an expectation rather than merely a convenient option, but certainly understand why very active users who operate across wikis would prefer an SUL and why there might be occasional conflicts. I seek no guarantees of exclusivity or permanence. If the SUL trend you describe actually becomes the norm in the future, I can readily accommodate the possibility that another very active user who starts in another language might credibly seek to claim an SUL for this username across all wikis including the English ones. If this happens, I can readily accommodate that user. This username doesn't seem at all likely to be headed in that direction, or I wouldn't have filed the request. As to whose explicit, affirmative permission is needed, the information I'm getting now is different from that presented earlier, so I think it's understandable if I'm now slightly confused about the decisionmaking criteria. User:K in Norwegian Wiktionary appears to have contributed moderately from 2005 through 2008, has not contributed to Norwegian Wikipedia (at least not under this username), does not appear to have email enabled, and has been dormant for two years. Following Xeno's instructions here, I left a note about this request on the no.wikt user's talk page here, to which there has been no response to date. ... Kenosis (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, it would be preferred if both users were OK with it: no.wikt currently has the best claim, the ja.wiki user would eventually have the best claim if they continued editing (and we should probably not forget pl:user:K wikt:pl:User:K either). I'm not sure if we have any guidelines or precedents to follow when considering allowing folks here to take over SUL claims when the sister project user is dormant. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 14:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Xeno, I do not seek to take over an SUL claim across all Wikimedia projects. I merely wish to use this username on en.wiki. Maybe, and this is very-very speculative, I might seek at some point in the future to take this username in one or more other en projects, but if and only if they are completely, demonstratively dormant for a very long period of time. I don't do enough at Commons and other .en projects to justify even anticipating the need for seeking an SUL for all Wikimedia projects (perhaps this aspect of SULs will change with time too)--and I'm certain I'm not at all unusual in this respect. ..... I've left a note on the Polish user's page, who is was apparently active only in Polish Wiktionary, here here, using both English and an automatic translation into Polish. Since the Polish user is currently active, it might be reasonable to expect a response. This user, with 108 total edits, unfortunately hasn't been active since 9 January 2009. As to the dormant .no.wikt account, at what stage might we accept that user simply will not respond and just "call it a day" on waiting for one? Is there a yet-established norm for dealing with that aspect? ... Kenosis (talk) 03:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If you rename your current account to K you'll be sliding into the claim over the SUL because of your edit count, whether you unify or not. As far as any kind of established norm, WJBscribe would probably be in the best position to comment on that. I'll defer to my learned colleagues on this one. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 03:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Having more thoroughly reviewed the global contributions page, I don't see significant potential for anyone ultimately having an SUL under this username, as too many different users appear to have taken this name in other Wikimedia projects. Which is where it gets confusing as to "sliding over". There is no maneuvering here to ultimately take over others' usernames in other projects. As I said, I merely seek to use it in English Wikipedia. If this is an established basis for denying my request, someone please say so. ... Kenosis (talk) 17:00, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoever has the highest edit count is able to create an SUL under the name (having an SUL does not necessarily mean it's universally held). If we were to rename your account to K, you would slide into that position. See Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 11 for more. As I said, I'll defer to my more experienced colleagues on this but typically requests like this have been denied. An exception may be possible in that the other users with the name are inactive, or have given their blessing. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 17:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Xeno, thanks for the link to the relevant discussion. I now understand a little better. It appears to me w.r.t. WJBscribe's point #1 in that discussion that this request might be a reasonable one. "*The ja.wiki user, the only one on the global contributions page that is presently active, has given explicit permission here. *The no.wiktionary account, with 522 total edits hasn't been used for two years, since 13 August 2008, and hasn't responded. *The pl.wiktionary account put in 108 edits total, almost all of them logged in a single eight-day stretch in August 2008, then about a dozen edits over the course of the next six months, and then hasn't edited at all for over a year-and-a-half, since 9 January 2009. I dare say we've seen this pattern many times on English Wikipedia too--it's generally indicative of someone who gave it a try for awhile and simply stopped editing. The inactive pl.wikt user seems quite unlikely to respond."Seems to me fairly straightforward, were there not a general fear of hurting cross-wiki relations by allowing "sliding over" a high edit count into a newer potential SUL claim. Having reviewed the global contributions a bit more thoroughly, though, this request doesn't seem to me to genuinely threaten any user's existing position. It's virtually a completely abandoned username, with the only other currently active user (ja.wiki) having already given explicit permission to go ahead. ... Kenosis (talk) 19:58, 26 August 2010 (UTC) And incidentally, both of WJBscribe's initial points in the above-linked noticeboard section are well taken, as is the discussion that followed. So I willingly accept whatever decision that participating bureaucrat(s) may choose to make. Though it would be nice to have this request fulfilled, quite obviously it's not a major thing. ... Kenosis (talk) 20:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Since WJBscribe basically "wrote the book" on this, I pinged him for his thoughts. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 20:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just passing by, I thought I'd give my thoughts. It seems Kenosis has no pressing need to be renamed to K, so I see little reason to create a new SUL conflict. The stance I've taken in past is that renames of this type should be allowed only when users on other projects have very few edits and have been inactive for an extended period (this case meets only the latter criterion). As we see in the discussion WJBscribe linked above, this is the position most other bureaucrats adopted in mid-2008. Two years later, it might be time that the issue is raised again, in order that a common practice be reformed (and that lengthy dialogues such as this are not necessary). — Anonymous Dissident  Talk 15:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * TBH, I'm a bit taken aback by this speculative notion of "new SUL conflict". I just showed that the only active user has given explicit permission. The rest are quite clearly long abandoned or have never been used. ... Kenosis (talk) 19:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)


 * ✅ Given that the inactive users are inactive since over two years now, and the active user gave their blessing, I've granted this request. I agree with Anonymous Dissident that it would be worthwhile to revisit our stance on this to be able to give firmer direction in the future rather than having to re-invent the wheel every time a request like this is filed. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 14:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * To Xeno, Anonymous Dissident and WJBscribe, my good wishes to all participating 'crats in your discussion relating to developing future guidelines to better reconcile any current tensions that bureaucrats encounter among the issues presented above. Whatever the direction and results of that discussion, you at least have my firm assurance I will not proceed in such a way as to serve as an example for why discretionary requests in circumstances similar to this shouldn't be granted in the future. So, thank you. To ja.wiki User:K, thank you (ありがとう) for your permission to use it in English. ... Kenosis (talk) 03:36, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * There aren't many one letter usernames left, anyway ... just, , and have no edits on the English Wikipedia, but E was previously in use and would cause confusion if reassigned now, and X and P belong to users with high edit counts elsewhere.

 * Reason: fi:User:Pek is the same person as User:Pekpekpek. He would like to request usurpation of enwiki's User:Pek account in order to be able to edit with the same username on both wikis. The current situation is problematic since he has to log in with the Pekpekpek account every time he wants to edit here, and it automatically logs him in as Pekpekpek in fiwiki as well. The target account has made one edit, which was reverted by someone in the very next edit. Therefore I think this should be unproblematic GFDL-wise. Note: the confirmation link is from fiwiki. I will ask Pekpekpek to confirm this here as well.

 * Reason: My current user name is Cornovia, this dates from the time when I used to have a website called cornovia.org.uk, and lived in Cornwall. None of that is relevant these days. The Vibracobra23 username is actually me as well (can confirm this by email), though this account is confined to WikimediaCommons. I created it when I thought I'd lost my Cornovia account, but I managed to get this one back. Vibracobra23 is my username all over the web (including facebook, YouTube, eBay, Flickr! etc) and so it makes sense for me to use that username rather than Cornovia, on both Wikipedia and WikimediaCommons. If possible I would like to have the Vibracobra23 account deleted, and if this is not possible then to be renamed as something different (even Vibracobra22 would do) and then to change the username for this account from Cornovia to Vibracobra23. Thanks
