JaconaFrere → Jacona

 * Datestamp: 11:11, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Reason: I wanted the shorter Jacona name all along. I believe that acct may have created by me in my WP infancy in 2012 - its one edit is to an article i've frequently edited. Jacona (talk) 11:11, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

VJ~en-gbwiki → Vijay Chopra

 * Datestamp: 10:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Reason: I'm returning to edit Wikipedia after a few years having just learning about the upcoming The Wikipedia Library 1Lib1Ref project & the global username merge changed my previous username. This is my real name (I'm aware of the real name policy - I'm a political activist who's stood for local election, so I want to be transparent with my edits as many of my previous wikipedia edits are on local topics). The account using my real name has never made any edits. I've sporadically been making edits since 2005 (although none in the last few years).

Dindon~enwiki → Colin M

 * Datestamp: 18:18, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Reason: My account was renamed during the global username migration (it used to be just "Dindon"). I don't much care for the "~enwiki" part that got added.

ZappaOMati → ZappaOMatic

 * Datestamp: 05:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Reason: I created User:ZappaOMatic in 2008, but never used it as I was too young to know how to edit so it was quietly shelved. A few years later, I created this account, having forgotten about the previous one. Since I use ZappaOMatic as my online username for virtually everything, I'd like to maintain that consistency on Wikipedia. User:ZappaOMatic's only activity on Wikipedia is me tinkering around with userpages upon managing to login in 2013. I can provide further confirmation that User:ZappaOMatic is me from that account if necessary. Zappa⚡Mati 05:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Damon.cluck → Aleutian06

I have used Aleutian06 as my signature ever since then, but my account was created with my real name.  I need to change my account Username from my real name to Aleutian06.

 * OK, I'm aware of this now – the previous ping presumably didn't work because the user didn't use his username to sign. Just for the record: I did indeed open the contributor copyright investigation, but didn't track anybody down at their place of work or elsewhere – that would have been a serious breach of user anonymity. If there's any trace of such tracking-down remaining in Wikipedia, it should be notified via email to the oversight team. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:05, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Given the sensitive nature of your message, I have redacted a portion and would suggest you submit this concern privately to funcs or AC if necessary. As far as the present request, the account was created in 2007, not 2013. However it does appear eligible for usurpation following the standard hold period. –xenotalk 18:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I was not making an accusation of harassment and no, it was not Justlettersandnumbers who tracked me down, it was an other user. I don't think they intended harm, but it spurred my desire to change usernames. My original post said that I needed to make Justlettersandnumbers aware of this issue. I said that because he is working the copyright investigation and I did not want it to appear that I was trying to evade the investigation or engage in hand puppetry. When I search for Aleutian06, it indicates that it was created in 2013.
 * Thanks for the clarification. While the global account was created in 2013, if you view Special:Log/Aleutian06 you can see the original enwiki account was created 2007. –xenotalk 13:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Alright it looks like you created that account, but this is your third renaming (not including many which got rejected) and as I can see you presented the same reason back in 2014. How I believe that this is legit request and you will not ask the same in future? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 01:54, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I asked for the name change prior because I was in the process of legally changing my name to a formal form of my current username, which fell through; it's expensive in my region to attempt a legal name change again, and thus deters me from trying to attempt it again. I am keeping my current legal name and would like my online identity (which I understand the WP:REALNAME) to reflect that. In the future if I attempt a name change, you can deny me, and anyone who sees sockpuppetry happening can block that account. I have put several years into this account (even if my edit count is low), and not easy to just create a new account with all the holds they put on new ones. I apologize for the inconveniences.

 * Reason: I registered this account on September 2008 with an email address I can no longer access. The account has been inactive as I don't know the last time I logged in, but I can confirm both the registration email address and the complete date it was registered. Thank you Maverickws13 (talk) 17:45, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * until 26 November. I have sent an email on the mail used to register Maverickws account. In case you found any email related to this request, please notify me. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 09:22, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there, and thank you for your reply. the domain of the email address used to register the email is no longer in my possession and has been re-registered in 2017. I can prove the ownership of the domain at the time of registration, now if new user has catchall account, they may takeover. hopefully not, but I don't think this is a correct approach on a security and righteousness pov. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:470:1F21:22B:4DA7:BF5C:94D0:BC62 (talk) 10:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 * @, this must be the worst registration and user management system in the whole internet. When I registered the maverickws13 account yesterday I logged in selecting the keep me logged in for 365 days, yet the next time I open the page, I'm logged out. AMAZING.
 * Anyway, yes I confirm it was me who wrote the comment above, as well as this one. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maverickws13 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, We don't doubt that it's not you who registered the account, but there's no other option to except going this way. If the email has been re-registered then I don't think they will try to acquire account associated with it. So now we will wait until 26 November and if everything goes well usurpation will complete. And yeah this might not be best registration or user management system, but we are also volunteer like you and have nothing to do with that. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 10:06, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi @, thank you for your reply. Yeah I do know ppl who attend this are volunteers, and a huge kudos for that actually. I'll just wait. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maverickws13 (talk • contribs) 16:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
