Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Completed/54

Thefruitshakes → Fruitshakes

 * Datestamp: 20:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: This is the username I use on all websites, and the user currently owning it appears inactive. Since 2009 they haven't made any contributions whatsoever, I think it safe to assume they are not active. Also 'the' at the beginning of my username was a silly, pretentious decision.. fruitshakes (talk) 20:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

KevinL (preparing for usurp) → KevinL

 * Datestamp: 23:36, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: I'm planning on changing my Wikipedia signature name from "Kevin" to "KevinL", for recognizability, and would like to use this username as a doppelganger. "KevinL (preparing for usurp)" is an account I created for this purpose. The target username is an enwiki-only account and has no edits or logged actions.

 * Datestamp: 18:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC) JadeSpire (talk) 18:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 * and I realized that it is probably not a good idea to use a full name due to the potential ramifications. If I wish to change my current username to a different one, should I re-submit a new usurpation request? I am prepared to wait another week after the new request is submitted. Also, sorry, but is it possible that this request be deleted rather than archived, just for safety? If not, I understand. I was just wondering, since I'm not too familiar with the guidelines. JadeSpire (talk) 01:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not done as request withdrawn. Sorry we generally don't delete requests. Please make another request if you want to change your username to something else. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 03:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I definitely was not very clear about what I meant. I was wondering about the possibility of dropping this request but hadn't committed to the idea yet. Is it too late to revive this submission? JadeSpire (talk) 05:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

YellowSkarmory → Skarmory

 * Datestamp: 04:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: I prefer being called Skarmory, and the Yellow isn't all that necessary in the name - if possible, I would like to take the username Skarmory. I do know it has edits, however there aren't all that many. YellowSkarmory (talk) 04:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Randomguydtb → DTB

 * Datestamp: 01:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

ElkMountainTents → MonkfruitWarrior

 * Datestamp: 13:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: I realized my old username could be viewed as self promotion because it refers to a company affiliation. I'd like to keep work and wikipedia separate. ElkMountainTents (talk) 13:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Blazer Phoenix → Blazing Phoenix

 * Datestamp: 18:11, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: My current username sounds weird. This account has no edits. Note: I want the name to be Blazing Phoenix with upper case if possible. Blazer Phoenix (talk) 18:11, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:18, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Since Blazing phoenix have zero edits and Blazing Phoenix isn't registered, you can simply be renamed to Blazing Phoenix and don't need to wait a week. Is that what you are looking for? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 01:25, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Jaiden Animations → Quahog

 * Datestamp: 10:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: I had been informed that registering an account under this username was useless as it wasn't protecting impersonation of a user on Wikipedia, so I thought it would be more useful to have this account be renamed as my old username (which is what I would definitely prefer). The only purpose this account will serve is as a doppelganger. I wasn't sure whether to post this request to WP:CHUS or WP:CHUU so I posted it here to be on the safe side. Jaiden Animations (talk) 10:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Dun~enwiki → Nuadha

 * Datestamp: 12:21, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: Nuadha is my username across many different sites, I had "Dun" here until the single-user login effort but a HU wiki user won that battle :) So Dun~enwiki is not really my preferred name. The current user Nuadha has 0 edits, and was registered in 2013. I am not sure if I accidentally created this when trying to change my user name a while back.

Mr. Deer guy → Mr. Deer

 * Datestamp: 23:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Reason: Wanted to sign up as "Mr. Deer", but their name got in the way, and their account has two edits, one essentially vandalism, one removing said vandalism, and both were in 2009.

 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:19, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I would like to be renamed BenKlesc. However the account already exists in that name and according to bot, account must be older than six months before it can be unsurped. Both are my accounts. One solution, I can change the name of the second account to free up the name I want. Is there anything I can do to prove I own both accounts? Drummerben04 (talk) 11:01, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , Just make a comment with BenKlesc account here and I'll do the necessary. BTW if you want BenKlesc to be renamed to something else, tell that too, otherwise it'll be renamed to a random username. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 11:04, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Dominic Mayers II → Dominic Mayers

 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * In order to usurp it you need to confirm ownership by some means; if you can't then I am afraid, we can't do usurpation. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 01:57, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I will collaborate to any procedure that you propose to verify that I owned the previous account. Perhaps you can check the IP address. It's a dynamic one, but at the least it will be the same provider for both accounts. Also, "Dominic Mayers" is not a very common name and I can easily prove that I am Dominic Mayers. Clearly, you can check that I am interested in the same WP articles. The chance that there are two distinct Dominic Mayers with the same IP provider and interested in the same articles are practically speaking zero. Perhaps you can think of other things to check on top of that. I will collaborate fully. Dominic Mayers (talk) 02:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The way to confirm is logging in by Dominic Mayers account, so can you try password reset if you had email attached to that account? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 02:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If I had an email, I would simply use my old account and ask for a merge. I know a merge is too much too ask without access to both accounts, but I was told by someone of experience that I could ask for an usurpation, which is not as much asking as a merge. I am still hoping that an usurpation will be possible, but there might be some legal or other kind of issues that I am missing. I don't want to create legal or other kind of difficulties to Wikipédia. Dominic Mayers (talk) 08:02, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you please share that how you lost access to your old account so that I can ask and convince devs to reset its password? About the usurpation: There wouldn't be an issue if the old account had fewer edits but since it has thousands, I'd like to be completely sure that it was yours as it's gonna alter the attribution of edits of both accounts. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 10:42, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I had an email attached to it, the same email as for my current account and I removed it and a bit after I changed the password, but did not write it down. So, I could not get back to my account the next time I tried to login and had no email to recover it. BTW, in the archive of my mail client, I have records of emails that I received under my previous account. Would that be useful?  Dominic Mayers (talk) 13:58, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

 * , We were not able to find anything on your account data that shows that both accounts are linked.

Eg. somewhere on wikimedia site you shared your account on any other platforms with former account. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 15:36, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have communicated on IRC on fr.wikimedia.org as the owner of my previous account in regard with this account. I still have my IRC account, but I don't know if you can trace that on your side. I also have emails from fr:user:Jean-Christophe BENOIST that I exchanged with him while I had the previous account. He could confirm that he sent these emails if I show them to him. These emails are about my work on fr:Réfutabilité done with my previous account.  Dominic Mayers (talk) 20:56, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, a technical question. Are you sure an usurpation will change the attribution of edits? I thought it would only rename the old account so that I can use the name, but without changing the edits attributed to the accounts. Is there a place where the technical definition of usurpation is given? I am interested about the name, not about the edits, but I am fine also if they all attributed to me. Dominic Mayers (talk) 22:29, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Using the old account does not seem a good idea, because people might not understand the gap. Between merging and usurping, I will go with whatever seems best to you. My preference would be merging, because there will be more information available to me and others and the two accounts were used for the exact same purposes. Dominic Mayers (talk) 14:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC) Dominic Mayers II (talk) 14:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , Merging is technically not possible so the option we have is usurpation. Is that ok for you? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 14:35, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What will happen with the old information? Would it remain available in some form? My hope is that it will simply be renamed say as "Dominic Mayers (old)". Dominic Mayers (talk) 14:41, 4 June 2021 (UTC) Dominic Mayers II (talk) 14:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , You got it right. We generally rename the account being usurped to AccountName_(usurped) but if you want, we can swap usernames too. So your new account will be old and old will be new. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 14:51, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The usual name Dominic Mayers_(usurped) for the usurped account does not seem ideal in this specific case. I think Dominic Mayers_(old) is a better description of the situation. To put it in another way. I see this process more as a renaming than an usurpation. Dominic Mayers II (talk) 14:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep, you should proceed. The older account is simply an old account that I am not going to use and Dominic Mayers (old) is fine. If I need another account for a different purpose, I will create a third account with an appropriate name for that purpose different than  Dominic Mayers II, but it's not going to happen soon, if it happens at all.

Hand to God, I'm NOT yelling. My all caps was intended to simply capture the attention of absolutely anyone who could possibly simplify this process for me. The caps were for emphasis. I still don't even know if I'm doing any of this correctly (communicating in the correct location/in the correct manner). This forum is NOT simple and straightforward for non-coders/novice-users. I started out someplace else and accidentally stumbled into the "usurpertion" thread. This is so freakin' complicated. I thought I would just need to email an administrator and request a change. I know some VERY BASIC html, but this forum/method of communication actually scares the bejesus out of me. All of this extra feels WAY OVER my head.

 * Hi Mstarkrn72 / NurseMomica. I'll have a look at your request in a second. I'm sorry to hear that you found the process confusing, so I hope I can clarify some points.
 * This page is for requesting account usurpations. What this means is this:
 * User A wants to change their username to User B. However, there is already an account with the name User B.
 * In order for User A to change their username to User B, User B needs to be renamed in order to move it out of the way.
 * User A will then need to ask for an usurpation of User B. What this means is that User B will be renamed to something else, such as User C, and then User A can be renamed to User B.
 * Because we are essentially taking User B&#39;s username away from them, we have some rules in place. In general, User B needs to be 1) inactive; 2) have made no significant edits to Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia project; and 3) User A needs to be an established user. We must also try to contact User B and give them at least a week to respond.
 * In your request, you mentioned that both accounts, "Mstarkrn72" and "NurseMomica", are both registered to the same email address, meaning that you have access to both accounts. Because you control both "Mstarkrn72" and "NurseMomica", we do not need to ask "NurseMomica" whether or not we can take their username, since you are in control of "NurseMomica" and are requesting the change.
 * In order for us to prove that you are in control of "NurseMomica", we need to ask you to log in to the "NurseMomica" account, and then make an edit confirming that it is indeed your account. In your case, this is how the process would work:
 * Log in to the "NurseMomica" account.
 * Return to the usurpations request page (this page), located at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations>.
 * Select Edit next to the "Mstarkrn72 → NurseMomica" section heading.
 * Scroll down to the bottom of the large text box, then click on the last line in there.
 * Press.
 * Type the following into the text box:.
 * Select .
 * I hope this clarifies some questions you may have. I see that you have logged in as NurseMomica and have made an edit here, so that would satisfy our requirements for verification. I will have a look at this request and finish processing it.
 * ✅ I have reviewed your request and have processed it. Here's what has changed:
 * "NurseMomica" has been renamed to "". Your password for "NurseMomica" will still work on that account.
 * "Mstarkrn72" has been renamed to "". Please log in as "NurseMomica" from now on, using your password from "Mstarkrn72".
 * Don't forget to keep in mind Wikipedia's policy on using multiple accounts. In short, you may use multiple accounts provided that you make it clear that both accounts are yours. You can easily do this by editing the user pages of both accounts, and then simply mentioning that you have another account, along with a link to that account. Here's an example of how to do it:
 * Go to User:NurseMomica (usurped).
 * Select Create in the top-right corner.
 * In the editor, type:.
 * Select Publish changes.
 * Go to User:NurseMomica.
 * Select Create in the top-right corner.
 * In the editor, type.
 * Select Publish changes.
 * I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions about using Wikipedia, please ask them at the Teahouse. — k6ka  <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 18:54, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Notacoworcat → 56independent

 * Datestamp: 19:28, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: I used this poorly-made username, and for some reason 56independent is taken, by past me. I go by 56independent in all other veins of online life, and would like to be named as this on wikipedia. 56independentTalk 19:28, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Lkmoy → Liammoy

 * Datestamp: 04:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: I think this LIAMMOY user account was created by me. Nonetheless it appears inactive. Lkmoy (talk) 04:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:47, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you please confirm that you are owner of account Liammoy by logging in and making a comment here? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 06:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi 1997kB, thanks for looking at this. To clarify, I believe that I created the account LIAMMOY but no longer know the password and there is no email address registered so I can't reset it. Perhaps someone else created the account and never used it but I suspect it was me because it's my real name and there's only three other people in the world with the same name. It meets the criteria for usurpation and if I had the password I would just use the account without usurping it and leave this LKMOY account inactive so I thought I'd submit a request. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lkmoy (talk • contribs) 13:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Davidxu160801 → Illuminati42

 * Datestamp: 23:14, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: Originally made this request over on Meta-Wiki after having misunderstood what this page does, so just copying-and-pasting what I wrote for the reason there:
 * Illuminati42 is the username I usually use on the internet, but when I created a Wikipedia account it was already taken, so I settled on davidxu160801, the username that I use for less "public" accounts. I intend to become more active on Wikipedia now and since my current username has my real name in it and with some skills you can probably find out quite a few details about me, I'd prefer it if I could usurp Illuminati42, an account created 6 years ago on the English Wikipedia that has no edits. davidxu160801 (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

 * @1997kB Thanks a lot. The AnomieBOT message says that I have 1 deleted edit, but my xtools page says that I don't have any. I'm a bit confused, so do you know if I have to have access to Special:DeletedContributions in order for the counter to correctly display my number of deleted edits? Also, I don't recall making an edit that qualifies for the deletion policy, so are you allowed to tell me what that one was? Illuminati42 (talk) 02:51, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Pamfilyalı → 07

 * Datestamp: 20:28, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: My current name (Pamfilyalı) is hardly written in languages excluding Turkish, since it contains an uncommon accented letter (ı). Therefore, I would like to change my username. — Pamphylian  ● 💬   20:28, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

TheBlueness1 → TheBlueness

 * Datestamp: 02:46, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: I am (fairly confident) I created the "Theblueness" account forever ago, without an email, and have since forgotten the password and it's thus unrecoverable. I use "TheBlueness" as my username for my online presence most everywhere, and now that I'm trying to edit Wikipedia, I would like to have the name here as well. I can't create an account as "TheBlueness," as the previously created account "Theblueness" is too similar. No one has ever used the account since its creation a decade ago, and I'd be happy to provide proof of my use of the name "TheBlueness" on other sites if that's appropriate. Thank you!

 * I know I'm replying to a bot here, but I, unfortunately, can not switch to a username of "TheBlueness," because the account that has already been created, "Theblueness" is too similar. Maybe usurp "Theblueness" and then switch to "TheBlueness?" TheBlueness1 (talk) 17:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
