Revision as of 05:21, 20 November 2007
- This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist. If you want your account renamed to a name that is not already taken, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
This page permits users to request, and bureaucrats to consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing dormant account in order to permit another user to adopt the name.
If you wish to request usurpation, please read carefully the "Instructions" section below. Malformed requests waste other users' time, and may not be fulfillable. Be advised, in particular, that the account you want to usurp must have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation.
Please do not request usurpation if your user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.
Instructions
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests waste other users' time.
- Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries (except in the account creation log).
- Ensure that it meets the changing usernames guidelines.
- Log in to your present account.
- Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (preferably of the form {{subst:usurpation requested}} ~~~~) notifying the user of your request.
- Please do not e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a bureaucrat or other designated user will do it.
- Add your request to this page using the proper template. This may be done via a shortcut (1) or by the traditional method (2):
- (1) The shortcut: Click . Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
- (2) The traditional method: Click "edit this page"; find the section for today's date; copy the following text and paste it at the bottom of that section.
{{subst:usurp|Name_To_Usurp|Current_Name}} ~~~~
- Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish.
Check your spelling and click "Save page".
Your request is now complete and ready to be processed. If the owner of the target account does not object within seven days, a bureaucrat will fulfill your request. Mark the date, so you will not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully. Bureaucrats, see Wikipedia:Bureaucrats for instructions for processing these requests.

Pallida Mors ← Pallida Mors 76
- Current username: Pallida Mors 76 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Target username: Pallida Mors (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 21:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
Pallida Mors 76 21:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Motives: I tried to create the target account, but somehow was unable to finish the process. I got a new account when the old one showed unaccessible. I didn't know what else to do at that time. I'm aware of the fact that I'm a relatively new user, but both accounts should have my data. Sincerely, Pallida Mors 76 21:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC).
- Note:
- – Anthøny 22:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Not done. Your account is too new. Please consider either choosing something that is not already taken and requesting renaming on WP:CHU, or waiting a few months and getting some more edits. --Deskana (talk) 22:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Greetings. I would like you (or any other bureaucrat) to reconsider this decision. I understand I am asking for an exception (though not an impossible one).
- I would like to point out that the conditions for usurpation are (except for user antiquity) completely met; in fact, I assume you could trace the data of target account so as to see I was the creator of both accounts.
- Not done. Your account is too new. Please consider either choosing something that is not already taken and requesting renaming on WP:CHU, or waiting a few months and getting some more edits. --Deskana (talk) 22:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- In any case, I assume it will be just a question of time and some work in here. Sincerely, Pallida Mors 76 20:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- All requirements need to be met for the usurpation to be performed. In addition, our server logs are only kept for a short amount of time (a few months maximum), so unless you can log into the target account and verify that you own it as well, then the usurpation will not be performed. I am sorry, but were we to make an exception for you, we would have to make an exception for everyone. --Deskana (talk) 21:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- In any case, I assume it will be just a question of time and some work in here. Sincerely, Pallida Mors 76 20:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Alright. Of course I understand your point. Unluckily, I can't access the target account, because I couldn't even put an email direction in it. Anyway, thank you for your time. Pallida Mors 76 22:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Nuttah ← Nuttah68

- Datestamp: 19:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
It's a username I registered, didn't get round to using and can no longer access. AFAIK there will be no reply to email, if there is one listed, as I believe I closed the mail account. Nuttah68 19:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

- Target username: Kyle (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 23:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)
Kyle(talk) 23:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC) - Reason: I recently changed my username from K1000 to my current user name to be closer to my actual name. It never even crossed my mind that it would be possible to just take the name Kyle (figured that such a simple name would have been taken), so now I would like to have the simplest form of my name. Thanks!

Clerk note: Your account is very new - usurpation is generally reserved for established users so we can make sure common names will be put to good use. If this request is declined on that basis, you may wish to ask again in a couple of months when you have made more contributions to Wikipedia. Alternatively, Surf Dog (talk · contribs) doesn't exist so you could request to be renamed to that now at WP:CHU. WjBscribe 19:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Englishpundit 00:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Note:
Your account has made few edits to the project - usurpation is generally reserved for established users so we can make sure common names will be put to good use. If this request is declined on that basis, you may wish to ask again when you have contributed more substantially to Wikipedia.WjBscribe 00:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hi WJB and thanks for your prompt reply. I am a newbie to English Wikipedia, but I am active on other projects, e.g. I am an administrator of the Polish chapter nicknamed "pundit", I also sporadically contribute to Wikimedia. As I thought of increasing my contributions to en-wiki, and as the account of "pundit" has not been used, I thought I could perhaps kindly request taking my activity in other wiki projects into account in the usurpation petition. Integration of nicknames on wikiprojects somebody is active on surely does make some sense, and (be the petition positively considered) I believe it also is reasonable to contribute from the very start under the same nickname. In any case, thanks for your consideration. Englishpundit 00:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I apologise - had I taken the time to look at your userpage I would have seen you had substantial contributions to another project. There shouldn't be any problem with a bureaucrat peforming the rename in these circumstances. WjBscribe 01:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'd like to point out that the requested account is just older than two months. The guidelines indicate to me that usernames that are recently created (< 6 months) should generally not be usurped. In addition, the user requesting usurpation is relatively new. I just thought I'd point this out. I (talk) 01:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks - you are right! Secretlondon (talk) 00:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Not done Sorry your account is too new as you have only been active since 13 November 2007. Also the username you request is too newly created. Come back in a few months when you are more established. Secretlondon (talk) 00:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
