எ → Plantman

 * Datestamp: 21:44, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Reason: I should like a new username, since I realise that my account name is hard to type. I chose this name to usurp since it has zero edits and I like plants. Regards எ (talk) 21:44, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:51, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Datestamp: 16:15, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Datestamp: 13:12, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Reason: I added a right and missing positive information in a government bank Wikipedia page, but at that time the username was very similar to my real name, and it can be seen in the 'view history' section. so for privacy issue, I would like to change my old username to the new one. please change my username as soon as it can be.

 * "SamuelJohnson" isn't registered, but is very similar to the previous requested username.
 * "Samueljohnson" hasn't made any edits since being created almost 10 years ago.

 * Datestamp: 19:24, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

KoolKidz112 → Theki

 * Datestamp: 14:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Reason: Changing my username per preference; I deem it immature and I never ever go by this name nowadays. Additionally the name carries too much history that looks bad on my "digital footprint" which I did not care for much back then—I do now, and I do not want what is effectively the last relevant semblance of my first internet username to be so prevalent. If anything a change to the one username I mainly use nowadays would be much better. - Cheers, KoolKidz112   (hit me up)  14:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I approve the name change. If it is possible to just overwrite or merge the target name (Davi Medrade) instead of renaming it to a dummy, I think that would be best, considering that what I'm asking here is essentially for the previous rename, which was Davi Medrade → David Santos, to be reverted. Davi Medrade (talk) 15:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeryix-- → Ervy

 * Datestamp: 02:40, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Reason: The username on my account does not represent who I am anymore and could potentially reveal personal information (as it contains a part of my actual name). Instead, I'd like to use my pseudonym ('Ervilia (L.) Ervum', shortened as 'Ervum' or even just 'Ervy'), without having to pass through the trouble of creating a whole new Wikipedia account.

 * I'm still waiting for a response. It has been five days. 📖 (💬/📜) 04:00, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Why did I get skipped? Was it something I did? 📖 (💬/📜) 17:04, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @TheBigBookOfNaturalScience, I'll tell you the truth, I've read the policy page, but I'm still undecided about names that I haven't seen explicitly objected to, but they seem strange to me. In such cases, I skip the request, hoping that others will handle these requests. The biggest problem is that I'm the only one handling requests on this page, and if not, no one will...
 * After much deliberation, I decided to trust that the username didn't seem terrible to me, and trust that you were familiar with the policy (I saw that you have "reviewer" permission, and that you're also a very veteran editor), and take care of the request. And therefore,

KamusiBotOwner → Kamusi

 * Datestamp: 07:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Reason: I'd like to run a bot as "KamusiBot" to edit Wiktionary (Kamusi means dictionary in Swahili). It's custom to own the "Foo" account when editing as "FooBot", so I'd like to take over "Kamusi", which hasn't made any edits. Note: my main account is "Tbm". I'd like to run the bot under a different account because I want to co-run the bot with a friend. These are not sockpuppet accounts and will be documented properly once approved. KamusiBotOwner (talk) 07:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This is to confirm that I'm "Tbm" and I'm in control of KamusiBot and the KamusiBotOwner user which I'd like to rename to Kamusi. Once I have access to these accounts, I will go through the Wiktionary vote process to get approval to run a bot as "KamusiBot". Let me know if there are any questions. tbm (talk) 07:32, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to add that I've obtained approval to run KamusiBot as bot on Wiktionary, so it would be good to get control of the Kamusi account. (I'm aware this request is on hold and there's no hurry; I'm merely adding this information.) tbm (talk) 10:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Datestamp: 06:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC)




 * The username you have chosen is associated with the Esperanza project, which is officially inactive. I'm not entirely sure about proceeding with this request, but let's see what other renamers think. In my opinion, it might be a good idea to proceed, considering the account hasn't made any edits in articlespace, and the project itself is no longer active. Additionally, there are no edits on the account related to this project. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 13:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * To note, the target user has made two edits to mainspace (here and here), but they're fairly minor edits that shouldn't preclude usurpation. As for the other edits, mere inactivity isn't enough to permit usurpation, but for the record, the user page award page was nominated at MfD with the consensus that it was "a complete waste of time". I would be fine with usurpation. — k6ka  <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 23:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Datestamp: 17:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Just to note: I just noticed that you have been indefinitely blocked from editing some pages. According to the global rename policy, we can't rename users if they seek the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct. In this case, your requested username is very similar to your current username, so I don't see any problem here. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 18:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'd be changing my username to what has long been my signature. So I'm definitely not trying to hide anything. But it was indeed the mess that led to my block that showed me how unwise it is to edit in my own name. For the record, I put in my original request before I was blocked.
