Ihatethisname → Swaggalicious

 * Datestamp: 03:34, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: Swaggalicious is my gamer tag and mostly what I use to identify myself online plus i looked into the name and it was created 13 years ago with no contributions at all or its own page so was hoping to get the name plus my current name speaks for itself Ihatethisname (talk) 03:34, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Sirdog9002 → Sirdog

 * Datestamp: 19:43, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: I am known mainly as simply Sirdog elsewhere on the internet. I only use numbers at the end when necessary to complete account creation. This didn't bother me too much when I first got started as I was unsure if I would contribute long-term. Now that I've determined I do wish to contribute long-term, I'd like to attempt to go for my more desired name. Regardless of the verdict, whoever handles this - cheers!

 * Datestamp: 12:11, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: Basschimp is my DJ name and user profile across multiple accounts, (e.g. facebook, soundcloud, spotify). I assume I registered it by accident, or if it has been registered it has never been used so would appreciate if I could merge this account with that so I have the one username across all online properties.

LilBillWilliams → Bill Williams

 * Datestamp: 22:32, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: My current username was made around two years ago, and I wanted Bill Williams instead, since I saw the account had been inactive for around 15 years, but I was blocked before I could complete a usurp request. Two years ago, I left a comment on their talk page asking if they were going to come back or still use their account in the future, but they haven't responded since.

 * Are you guys ok with this request? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 13:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't have objections. He's been signing that way for a while anyway. It looks like his topic bans were lifted in February (though judging by recent edits I'm questioning whether it was too soon) but the username doesn't really affect that. ~Awilley (talk) 20:26, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * has not edited since February of this year, so there's a good chance they might not respond. This request has been pending for some time now. Should we proceed?

SaltySaltyTears → Le Marteau

 * Datestamp: 18:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: I created "SaltySaltyTears" as a sock to harass two editors on talk pages, and for which I was banned. I cannot log on to my sockmaster account ("User:Marteau") due to not having the password or access to the email address associated with it. I have served my time and am now a contributing member of the community again, and I would prefer not to edit under an old sock account name  that I am not at all fond or proud of.

Mikehawk10 → Mhawk10

 * Datestamp: 20:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Kwangya → Baji

 * Datestamp: 22:35, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: As I previously wrote in Meta, I have received comments that my username is difficult to type for Spanish speakers since it is a Korean word and as eswiki sysop it is best to have a more recognizable and easy to write username such as Baji (name by which know me on IRC).

 * . I disagree. The account that Kwangya is trying to usurp is only attached on enwiki.

Ky86 → CharlesCopley
2) I know the account User:CharlesCopley has already been created but has 0 edits to the name and looks to be inactive 3) Unable to log in earlier as I was logged out of my domain and email (can provide proof of lock out) and thus could not log in to Wikipedia account as I lost password info, so many edits I have made over the years are instead attached to IP addresses instead of this username, thus my low number of edits Ky (talk) 20:49, 5 December 2021 (UTC) We've had lots of these kinds of requests over the years (usurping accounts because people forgot the password), so I would like to remind everyone that your password is your responsibility and that you shouldn't be relying on usurpation to recover usernames for accounts you forget the password to. You should either be storing your password in a secure password manager, or have your account linked to an email address that you have access to in order to receive the password reset email. — k6ka  <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 14:57, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

 * What happened to CaiCopley account? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 03:30, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * i have no idea what email I linked the account to, and no idea what the password is. Somehow I had Ky86 linked to one of my emails, yet not Cai Copley. However, as a trans man, I have changed my name not *once* but *twice*, and now go by the name Charles Copley. I can provide proof of the name change. I use a variety of social media that uses my now legal name change, and want to keep my username consistent. Charles (talk) 06:16, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Well, I don't see any immediate pressing issues with this request, so with no response or updates for over a month (and given how inactive the target account really is), I've gone ahead and processed this request. Please make sure you link your account with an up-to-date email address so that you can reset the password in case you forget.

The Alternate Mako → Mako001

 * Datestamp: 07:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason: Created this account some time ago but was never able to log in at the time, I forget exactly why, but I think it was a bug in some antivirus software or something.

Temporary Neel → Neel yadav

 * Datestamp: 06:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Reason: Hello, I just created this account. My real name is Neel Yadav, and I intended to sign up for a wikipedia account eponymously. However, I was prevented from doing so as Neel Yadav is too similar to Neel yadav, a pre-existing username with 0 edits created in 2015. In all likelihood... I was probably the one who actually created that account back then. I tried logging in with that username and possible passwords I may have used, and also tried resetting the password in hopes that I had associated an email with it, but no luck. For validity, on this current account I've verified the email address at my personal domain name (I also self-host and manage that email server independently).
