Not done You're still blocked on multiple wikis for sockpuppetry, which is a serious breach of trust, serious enough to make declining this request a no-brainer. Also, we will not accept any sum of money to rename your account. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:47, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hello, I have already made this request in the pas, but I was not able to provide the needed information. My sockpuppet account used to be called Gabe1290. On March 24 2014, a script renamed my account to Gabe1290~frwiki without notifying me. When I found out, I was told that it was not possible to change it back. On January 25 2016, I was able to change the name globally to Gabe~1290, but I still was not able to get Gabe1290 back. Can I usurp the Gabe1290 username since it is not used at all and quite a few of my students know me by my handle ?

Bender Bending Rodríguez (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)- @Bender Bending Rodríguez: Sorry, that username also cannot be usurped. They have 64 edits and their edits were not immediately reverted or deleted. We can only usurp usernames that have made no significant edits (e.g. if their only edits have been unimportant edits to their userpage), or have made only edits that were immediately reverted and/or deleted. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:08, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hi Вик Ретлхед. Are you trying to merge the two accounts together? Please note that it is not currently possible to merge accounts, as the SUL merge tool brought up too many problems during development and isn't expected to be available anytime soon. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 00:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

- @Вик Ретлхед and Retrohead: I can work some magic on this one. I'll rename the existing Retrohead account to Retrohead (usurped), rename Вик Ретлхед to Retrohead, and then merge the individual enwiki account back to the new Retrohead SUL. I just need to confirm that you are using the same password for both accounts first (I don't need to know what it is obviously, just that it is the same) – Ajraddatz (talk) 01:06, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- It's the same password, and the same guy (me). Those three edits from the Retrohead account on the Macedonian wiki were mistakenly done as I though the accounts were merged on all Wikis, not just the English one. No need for Retrohead (usurped), just leave the IP address there and have the Вик Ретлхед edits transferred to Retrohead. Please be aware that this operation is only for the Macedonian wiki edition.

- User has been notified in their home wiki. Also verifying that request to change this account from Erbigon → to BingoBot is valid. --Erbigon (talk) 20:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, that account has enough edits that it cannot be usurped without the permission of the owner. Given that they haven't logged in in at least two years, that seems unlikely to get. – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:30, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ypna, apologies for the delay. I noticed that you have been renamed twice before in the past; please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly. Are you sure you want to proceed with this request? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hi Koshi2016, can you link to this request on the target user's talk page? Make sure they know what to do in case they object to usurpation (Which is to simply state that they do not wish to be usurped). You can use Template:Usurpation requested/ja to notify the user about this request. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: i wanted this name since registration, but it was busy (sorry for my English, i can also spell this in russian and deutsch). Now this account is busy in uk-wiki, but this user was in 2006 for the last time. I have written request in his page (1).
- With 134 edits, it is unfortunately impossible to usurp the account unless the user agrees to it. Savhñ 20:58, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- Is it possible, somehow take a communication with him (He hasn't pointed his email)? --Barbariandeagle (talk) 08:03, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
