- Reason: Hello. I have been on Wikipedia for 8+ years, and when originally setting up my account I attempted to register (as I have done elsewhere on the internet) as simply "Jabberjaw". With my increased experience here over time (10,000+ edits), I am slowly becoming familiar with the broad range of behind the scenes administrative functions and options (such as this page). To that end, I would like to seek usurpation of the unused "Jabberjaw" account. I have read the guidelines, note that the account is on en.wikipedia.org only, was apparently "registered" there in April 2013 - which is interesting given that there has only been a single edit made (a vandalism reversion) in 10.5 years, an edit that was made some 6 years earlier in April 2007. I have added a usurp notification on the target page as requested as well. Thank you for your time and consideration.

AnomieBOT⚡ 02:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Done. The requested name had one edit, a vandalism revert from 2007. The local policy seems to suggest that accounts with any valid edits cannot be usurped (and the bot suggests this is for licensing reasons, which is incorrect), though it allows for exceptions to that rule. The global guideline allows for this type of usurpation so long as the account is notified, which it has been. If anyone has concerns regarding this, my talk page is always open. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 23:37, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

I created a Wikipedia account with the email visvajit14@gmail.com some years back with the username “Visvajit” and I was hoping to change my current account’s username from “Visvajitrajan” to “Visvajit” and delete the “Visvajit” account after. I have access to the emails used to create both Wikipedia accounts, and can provide any authentication necessary. I contacted the Wikipedia help staff who suggested that I first fill out this form to rename the old account, thereby vacating its username, and then rename my current account to "Visvajit".

- @Nihlus: I'm going to go ahead with this one because the target account was a drive-by registration from 11 years ago and our customer registered their account some years ago and recently has been doing good edits (also a tenured editored on ja.wp, though I cannot speak to the quality of the edits there).

{{not done}} @Jennifersyoung: As per usurpation guidelines user requesting for usurpation should be established user with significant edits (400+) to project. So you can come back later or choose a unregistered username and request here.‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:09, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @1997kB: I would probably grant this request. Requesting user has been contributing for over two years, has a significant and non-trivial contribution history, and the target user was a drive-by registration 12 years ago with not a single contribution, probably abandoned. The local guidelines you've linked do not have such a strict ("400+") guideline. –xenotalk 15:33, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Same for Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Rejected/24#Trevor Bolliger → Trbo, which is an alternate account of a WMF employee. You can use a lighter hand granting requests on this page, especially when the target is a single-attachment drive by registration from over a decade or more ago. –xenotalk 15:54, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Thank you for considering my request. In addition to my online contributions, I also have many offline contributions to the Wikipedia community. I instruct faculty and students at Emory University in editing Wikipedia for course assignments in collaboration with Wiki Education. I have lead instructional and organizing efforts for Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at Emory over the past three years. I was recently awarded a grant to complete several Wikipedia initiatives at Emory.

- Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:40, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I did not create a new account. That new user name was not taken when I requested it. If that username is now taken, please change my username to EditoralNinja — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmcoolick (talk • contribs) 17:39, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- @28bytes, 1997kB, and Cmcoolick: Since EditorialSheriff was a run-of-the-mill vandalism-only account, I think it is okay to simply usurp them. Normally this would require the requesting user to be an established editor; however, since the vandalism-only account was created after this request was filed, I think we can make an exception and grant this request, usurping "EditorialSheriff" so Cmcoolick can have their desired username. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:43, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- @K6ka: I agree. I would support a usurp under these circumstances. 28bytes (talk) 18:07, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Andy Fou → Foudix
Status: Done
- Current username: Andy Fou (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Target username: Foudix (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
- Datestamp: 10:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Reason: The Foudix username is also mine. I have troubles remembering my current username (Andy Fou) and don't often log in Wikipedia and edit because of that. I just created a new user under the Foudix username to make an edit I wanted, but I don't want to have two users or lose my contributions from my old account. Therefore, I wish to move everything under Foudix and continue using that username only. Andy Fou (talk) 10:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Note:
- The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
- The target user has edited since this request was filed. Unless the edit was to give permission to usurp, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
- Target user has 1 undeleted edit and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the target user, with 1 total edit on 5 wikis. Requesting user has 2 undeleted edits and 1 deleted edit, for a total of 3 edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the requesting user, with 92 total edits on 23 wikis.

Maguirej03 → Code Zero
Status: Done

- Target username: Code Zero (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
- Datestamp: 02:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Reason: Old username does contain my name, would prefer to not have this for future use of Wikipedia - new account isn't ideal for me, I am not terribly bothered by my name being find-able on previous logs. However, a name change would be appreciated. Account to be renamed to has no contributions and was made over a decade ago, suitable for usurpation. John Maguire (talk) 02:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Note:
- The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
- The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.
- Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the target user, with 0 total edits on 1 wiki. Requesting user has 985 undeleted edits and 305 deleted edits, for a total of 1290 edits. An SUL account (primary enwiki) exists for the requesting user, with 1299 total edits on 24 wikis. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:22, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- I apologise for not seeing the requirement to inform the account on their talk page, I have now done so. I initially made it on the User page by mistake, apologies! This is why a User page exists for the username, as it did not prior. I won't change the request itself because I'm scared to Johntalk 02:41, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Marufacc → Maruf Hossain
Status: Done
- Current username: Marufacc (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Target username: Maruf Hossain (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

- Datestamp: 20:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Reason: I am a Bangla Wikipedia, I have a total of 5000 edits across various wikimedia projects. I want to change my current username and get my real name. But it is not possible to name of Maruf Hossain here in the English Wikipedia. Maruf Hossain edited 10 years ago in the English Wikipedia, he only edited 10, after which he was no longer active. I am writing an active user and regular wiki. My current user name changed to the original name Maruf Hossain would be a lot of benefit to me. Marufacc (talk) 20:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

AnomieBOT⚡ 20:36, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- The target user is a vandalism-only account, so I think we can go along with this request. On hold until November 23. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:47, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
