 * I scrambled the password with a random string, and completely, permanently deleted the associated gmail acct.. I doubt I can usurp, and I've read somewhere that even the techies don't have access to passwords to reset. But I thought it worth a try. And I can get any number of people to testify that I am me, FWOW. But if all of this means nothing, at least I went through the correct bureaucratic process.Lingzhi2 (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * As I can see there's still email attached to Lingzhi account, so it will be great if somehow you can prove that it was your old account.

 * Datestamp: 20:42, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Since one of the person that told me I couldn't rename: User:1997kB, he said back in July 2018, that I was "welcome to come back after six months". And since that was nearly a year ago, I'd think I could rename at least one more time. I know this sounds hard to believe, but I swear this will be my last rename.

 * As always, account renames take valuable server resource and are not processed lightly.

 * @User:PlyrStar93: With all due respect... having been a registered user on Wikipedia for well over a decade as you can see, this is the first time I've heard of a long-term limit for account renames. In fact I cannot see any mention of any such limitations in policy, whether at WP:CHU or WP:UPOL. Though it would be reasonable to assume, out of common sense, that multiple short-term requests would be denied due to server strain not to mention confusion among other editors, I have always been under the impression that in general we shouldn't worry about performance.
 * That said, this is not something I am willing to spend a lot of energy discussing – certainly not any time in the foreseeable future – and I would be unable to meet either of the two conditions you proposed even if I wanted to do so. I will simply file this among the long list of "Wikipedia policies that don't actually exist but are selectively enforced according to user whim and the phase of the moon" that I really should be accustomed to by now. It certainly gives new meaning to WP:NOTBURO...
 * In short, I withdraw my request. My apologies for taking up your time listing all of those renames. Though in the interests of full disclosure, I should point out that you missed a couple from one of my alts: "Themodernizer (usurped)" and "Techmdrn" Modernponderer (talk) 11:35, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's fine to process the rename, and it's been 2.5 yrs since the last request, also I don't see any need to extract a "promise to never want to rename again!" but to be honest, I like your existing username better. Modernponderer, a lot of these unspoken rules are hashed out on the private "global renamers" mailing list, which isn't very "wiki" either since it's not subject to community input. –<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b><sup style="color:#000">talk 13:20, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

As for which prime numbers are available, you can use Special:CentralAuth to determine which usernames are not taken. Aspening (talk) 19:03, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think user with account 10+ years can be considered established enough for a usurpation request. I think we should not make usurpation a big deal since it doesn't put that much load to servers, but here the issue could be that now we can't register username only containing numbers and this username is number only. any suggestions? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 11:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Agree that the user is established enough and usurpation of enwiki usernames should remain pretty lenient. Is the number thing a new technical restriction? –<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b><sup style="color:#000">talk 11:53, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah it is a technical restriction. For eg. if I try registering 364 there's a warning: The username "364" is not allowed to prevent confusing or spoofed usernames: Does not contain any letters. Please choose another username. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 11:57, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I see... how about 353P or 353 Prime or something? –<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b><sup style="color:#000">talk  12:02, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The user did a few non-constructive edits (not blatant vandalism) back in the day and left, then returned around 2016 with 20 something edits across the most recent three years. I expect usurped username to be put in somewhat active use, which is how the note in this page is written ("good use"). There are renamers using a certain number of edits as a threshold for usurpation in the past. While I don't have one, I personally do not consider 20 edits in most 3 years + 65 edits total with an inactivity of 8 years as established enough. There are other issues such as the target account seems to have logged in last year, home wiki is not English Wikipedia, but these might not be a big deal (and maybe the notes needs changing). However, I will not reject this user's request to usurp an account. If the user agrees with something like "353P" we can go right ahead. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 15:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Enigmaman → Enigma

 * The target username is not eligible for usurpation, because it is an active account and has made significant contributions to Japanese Wikipedia. See CentralAuth and the user's contribution there. Please choose a another username if you wish to rename. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 22:06, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately that was the only username I wanted. It's too bad. I suppose the English Enigma was moved to give the Japanese Enigma the central account, even though it probably will never edit here. <b style="color: blue;">Enigma</b><i style="color: #FFA500;">msg</i> 22:23, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have a question: Why was the Japanese account allowed to usurp the Enigma name when there was already a user with that name which had edited on English Wikipedia? I guess that decision was made by a steward? <b style="color: blue;">Enigma</b><i style="color: #FFA500;">msg</i> 22:27, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Back in the old days there is no such thing as a global account, and you have to register each wiki separately, so the same username at enwiki and jawiki may belong to same or different user. Then came Single User Login so the same username at all wikis is owned by same user now. Unification process took some time to be finalized, and this involves renaming conflicting usernames, and I would assume email communications were sent so they can be resolved. Maybe the owner of the Japanese Enigma account reacted timely to the announcements and completed the SUL unification first, so that account gets to keep its original username. The rest will have to be forcibly renamed to different usernames because the global username is already taken, or they did not respond to the communications, e.g the original Enigma account here now renamed toEnigma~enwiki. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 22:50, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I was just wondering, because there were at least two Enigma accounts when globalization came along. I understand it's not the same person making the decision each time, but originally I was told Enigma could not be usurped because an editor had edited here with that username in 2003. Then they let someone else usurp the global name despite the fact that the enwiki Enigma predated the jawiki Enigma by a while. Going by past decisions, the jawiki user should've been forced to use a different username. <b style="color: blue;">Enigma</b><i style="color: #FFA500;">msg</i> 22:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The jawiki Enigma was the rightful owner of SUL account as SUL were given on the basis of no of edits not the date of registration. Also it looks like you also had Enigma~metawiki, and since jawiki Enigma was one with most edits it was renamed to Enigma~metawiki during SUL. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 03:30, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Medgirl131 → Aly

 * Datestamp: 06:10, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Reason: I feel too old for the "girl" moniker now, so I'd like to change my username. Regarding the target account, it has 30 edits on it from two days (October 10th and 11th) in 2006 and no other edits. Per "The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries to qualify for usurpation (though rare exceptions are made in some circumstances)", I wanted to see if it'd be possible for me to usurp this username. Thank you. Medgirl131 06:10, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
