Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations

WP:USURP
This page is for requests to usurp accounts that are already taken. If you want your account renamed to a name that is still available, please use the regular old Wikipedia:Changing username.

This page is a forum in which users can request, and bureaucrats can consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing account in order to vacate the username and allow another user to take it.

If you wish to request usurpation, please read and follow the instructions below. The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries on any Wikimedia Project to qualify for usurpation, although rare exceptions are made where old edits do not require attribution under the GFDL. 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.

SUL notice:

[edit] Instructions

  • Log in to your present account.
  • Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (this template will do the trick: {{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 clerk will do so.
  • Click here to place your request.
    • Replace "CURRENT_NAME" with your current username.
    • Replace "REQUESTED_NAME" with the username you wish to usurp.
    • You should include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
If that doesn't work, simply copy the following text to your computer's 'clipboard':
{{subst:usurp|CURRENT_NAME|REQUESTED_NAME}}
Click "edit this page"; find the section for today's date; copy the following text and paste it at the bottom of that section. Modify it as indicated above.
  • Make sure both names are spelled correctly. 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 provided other requirements are met. Where a request is to unify global login, the seven day waiting period is waived and requests will be performed once reviewed by a bureaucrat. Mark the date, so you will not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

Contents

[edit] Notes

  • When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made, including deleted contributions, will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
    Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
  • The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
  • This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
  • Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.
  • Note well that the day of renaming is dependant on the day of notification. If you place your request on the 1st, but only notify the target on the 3rd, your request will be filled on the 11th, not the 8th. Requests may be subject to section movement based on this principle. For the sake of simplicity and swiftness of usurpation, be smart and notify your target immediately after placing a request.

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.

[edit] Archives

[edit] Uker → UKER

uKER (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
I have been inadvertently using two accounts with the same username, only diferring in capitalization, a problem that originated in Wikipedia letting me register two different accounts to the same email address. I have been actively using both accounts in two different PCs and would like to move over to using only 'UKER', but I obviously don't want to lose track of my contributions. Can you do it so that contributions from both accounts are transferred to the new account? Thanks in advance. uKER (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Users with GFDL significant edits may not be usurped.
  • This user has entries in their Wikipedia user logs. Usernames with any logged actions, other than user creations, may not be usurped.

Bureaucrat note: Wikipedia accounts cannot be merged. A) Keep Uker as the account you always use, and make a note on the Uker userpage about the UKER edits. B) Keep UKER as the account you always use, and make a note on the UKER userpage about the Uker edits. C) Have a bureaucrat move the Uker edits to UKER and the UKER edits to Uker, and use the Uker account for all your edits, making a note on the Uker userpage about the UKER edits.

[edit] AllstarechoTEMP → Ase

- ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 18:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

  • This is for WP:Doppleganger use only, to match User:ASE which I already own and which already redirects to User:Allstarecho. I don't want to actually edit with the account but redirect it to my Allstarecho account as I'm currently doing with User:ASE. User:Ase hasn't edited since 2006. So just to be clear here, I do not want to be renamed, only take over ownership of the User:Ase account. If this isn't the proper venue for this, please inform me on my talk page. Thanks. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 18:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Users with GFDL significant edits may not be usurped.
  • This user has entries in their Wikipedia user logs. Usernames with any logged actions, other than user creations, may not be usurped.
  • User has 23 undeleted edits, 0 deleted edits, and 23 total edits. Requesting user has 39072 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
The edits seem to be GFDL-significant (most significantly, the file upload(s)). If this request is rejected, simply boldly redirecting or using a {{distinguish}} tag may be an alternative. On the other hand, if this request is accepted, you'll need to create "AseTemp" or something so they have username to change into this one. –xenotalk 18:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Per File:SKPhoto.jpg, I'm thinking both users there are the same person. From what I can tell of the edits by User:Ase, they have been removal or content, re-arranging of content, wikilink words, etc.. hardly anything worthy of GFDL coverage. File:SK book cover 8.jpg is certainly a copvio if it's a book cover as such wouldn't be in the public domain.. not a recent book anyway of which this appears to be. Both images are orphaned. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 18:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
If this is true, you might contact them on their new username which seems to have edited as recently as April of this year. –xeno
Note to xeno: the last edits that I can see by user:Ase are for April 8, 2006. -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 19:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)talk 18:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
You must follow the breadcrumbs a bit, Allstar wasn't entirely clear. He believes (and it seems likely enough) that User:Ase is also User:Sebastianvattamattam. –xenotalk 19:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Ah, okay, that makes sense then. My apologies. -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 19:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Bureaucrat note: Create a new username: AllstarechoTEMP, and then we can usurp Ase with AllstarechoTEMP. Kingturtle (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I've made the request for User:AllstarechoTEMP to be created. Waiting. And it's done. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 19:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
