Hope there is some way to contact SHL though? It would be really nice if I could take over that username (That is if it's OK with the current SHL of course), since it seems he/she isn't really actively using it, and since I'm having username SHL att Swedish wikipedia, meta.wikimedia.org, www.mediawiki.org et.c. // Sincerely, Haakan 14:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pratik mullick → Prtk2109luv

• Current name: Pratik mullick (talk • contribs)
• Requested name: Prtk2109luv (change username)
• Reason: Pratik mullick is my real name and I want to be anonymous. Pratik mullick 07:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• You should note that changing your username in this fashion will still allow everyone to see your real name, since the change will be publicly logged. If you just don't want to your name to be immediately visible, this sort of change is fine, but if you have an important reason to be anonymous, such as being at risk of off-wiki harassment for editing in controversial areas, then going this route is probably a bad idea. Just start a second account instead, and don't do anything to link the two. (I hope that my leaving this comment here is appropriate - something like this should probably be noted whenever someone gives this as a reason, and it might be a good idea to feature this issue more prominently in the instructions). --Philosophus ^T 08:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: If, in spite of Philosophus' advice above, you still want to make this request, this is the wrong board to have posted it on. This board is for requesting account names that already exist. Please request a namechange at WP:CHU. WjBscribe 05:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: The target account was only created on 14 February 2007. Might usurpation be a little premature in this instance? WjBscribe 16:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Not done - it seems only fair to leave an account this new alone. If it's still unused in six months or so, a usurpation request might be in order. — Dan | talk 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

  Kyoko 16:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

(copied from CUU talk page) Hello, some months back, another user (User:Randfan) set up the account User:Kyoko as a means to guard against impersonation of me, without asking me first. I've been giving it some thought, and I think I'd like to move my account to there, because I'm getting tired of being called "Tachikoma". I think Randfan created the Kyoko account as a new page, the same way a new article is created, i.e. without making a password first.

I currently have a number of subpages that I would also like transferred to the Kyoko account. I plan on changing the subpages (anti-vandalism scripts, etc.) once they are there. I also plan on recreating the Tachikoma account for redirection towards the Kyoko account. That way, my old talk page messages will point to the new account. Thank you. --Kyoko 16:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Note:

• This username meets the requirements for usurpation.

– WjBscribe 17:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: Incoming links to the target username all come from people refering to Tachikoma, who has signed as "Kyoko" for some time and used User:Kyoko as a redirect. WjBscribe 17:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Question: Is the Kyoko account really usurpsed? I don't see a "new user" thing in the logs. But I don't have one, either, so the "New user account" must have been added somewhere between Jan. 2005 and now. Hbdragon88 00:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The new user log is fairly recent; however, the authoritative listing is Special:Listusers, at least for now. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 00:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

And by the way, the subpages are automatically renamed when your account is renamed, as well. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 06:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

A few things: I think Randfan created the User:Kyoko account in November or so, by typing in "User:Kyoko" in the search box, and then creating it as if it were an article. He then made the user and talk pages into redirects to my Tachikoma account. As for the subpages, I use a modified version of Lupin's vandal-whacking script, which calls to customized vandalism warnings within my userspace. I expect that I will have to change the code of this script and various other pages in my userspace. It's no big deal, just a little tedious to do. --Kyoko 12:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, the redirects would be left behind, so they wouldn't die off and become an issue. However, if you update the code, then it should be even less of a problem. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 07:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Clerk note: As of this timestamp, you have 4023 edits per Flcelloguy's Tool; as this is greater than 2500 edits, it would be nice if someone could update the relevant section of User:NoSeptember/admin username changes. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 07:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Note-Usurpation is usually reserved to users with a large amount of edits, so that popular names are used by users who plan on contributing more. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 11:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I must confess that I do not have a "large amount" of edits, but I am working to change that! The joys of being an undergrad/graduate student... The top of the page mentioned "reasonably well-established users" which I believe that I qualify under: I've been a registered user since December 2005, and I think that my contributions show a reasonable intent to continue improving and contributing to Wikipedia. I just thought I would throw it out there for you to help in making the decision --Katt 06:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

As of this timestamp, you have 62 edits, per Flcelloguy's Tool. However, there is no set barrier for usurpations; whether 60 edits is enough or not is up to the bureaucrat's discretion. If you contribute more during this period, then that may factor in their decision as well. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 07:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Since the posting of this message I have made a few more, so I hope someone will do a re-count before the decision is made. Thanks. --Katt 06:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: The target username has made two strange edits to WP:CHU. See [1]. Will ask the account requesting usurpation to clarify the situation. WjBscribe 21:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

It seems to be an honest mistake on the part of the user in question - the subject is a fairly young user who created the account by mistake then decided they wanted to switch their identity to it - several admins in his main WikiProjects including myself were consulted and we sent him here. I will contact Smbarnzy to get him to confirm this directly. Orderinchaos78 03:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry OIC is correct, i still want it - both accounts are "mine" and i want it to continue as is. LeBarn 05:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Given that the requested account now has edits, it will need to confirm that it is willing to be usurped. WjBscribe 05:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Instructions to bureaucrats

• Accounts should be renamed to "Username (usurped)" -- this is intuitive and is unlikely ever to be a desired account name. The links labeled '1' and '2' will automatically fill out the user renaming interface with the proper information.
• If a user consents to have his account usurped, the request may be fulfilled immediately, rather than after the full waiting period.
• Mark completed requests with {{done}} and rejected requests with {{not done}}. A bot will archive them.
