- Reason: Account was retired on March 4. Password was scrambled by copying and pasting a a bunch of random characters, then copying a letter "a" so account was no longer able to be logged into. Requesting password via email wouldn't work, as the password was lost for that and password would not be recoverable either. I'd like to re-claim the username, but it would be a bit of a SUL headache, so I'll go and ask on meta later.

AnomieBOT⚡ 03:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose—no idea if this is the venue to discuss but the would-be usurper is a serially disruptive user who has provisionally been unblocked off an indef. As such, this user requires supervision, and permitting a change of username will reduce the scrutiny of this user's contributions. Bongomatic 00:46, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comment. My thought would be to decline the rename for a period of six months and then grant it assuming he has stayed out of trouble. MBisanz talk 19:34, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

- Zero, but they arent active! I'm using home IP now. ==86.158.192.249 (talk) 09:30, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Even if they haven't been active lately, the user from dewikiversity has a fair amount of contributions, thus they own the claim for the SUL account, and granting this request would create a conflict. See WP:Handling SUL conflicts — Frankie (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- Not done. Despite the lack of activity, user from dewikiversity has the best claim to the global account.

- Yes, there are too many and too recent. See WP:Handling SUL conflicts. If the ja.wiki user agreed to have their username changed locally that would clear up the way for usurpation, but it's a long shot — Frankie (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

He informed me that the name "Rich Monday" was available and then he walked me through the renaming process. Well today I find a message form a Chris G. that the name is being used elsewhere. I run a name check and can't find my name anywhere in the name search. The reason I'm here is because I do not know what to do next and I think an error on the edit has been made. Can I change my user name from RichMonday to Rich Monday using this form? Thank you for the support. Rich Monday

- Reason: My current username, Guðsþegn (in Old Norse, meaning God's thane), contains two letters (Eth and Thorn) that are not on any keyboard I've ever used (you must use character map to find them). So, whenever I want to go to my user page on a new computer, or whenever I try to tell someone how to get to my user page, unnecessary difficulty is created. Therefore, I would like to alleviate the problem. The target name was created in 2006 and has 3 edits.
GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 00:46, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- I would like to modify my request to be "usurp only" instead of usurp and change username. Per my stated reason, a redirect from the target username to my current username would accomplish my goal, and given that all the other wikis with my current username are owned by myself, an SUL with my current username would be easier. If this is too complicated of a request modification, then please carry on with the standard usurp as originally requested. Thanks. GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 01:45, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I'm not trying to be wishy-washy here, but if you think (as a bureaucrat) that an SUL is possible with the target username, then please ignore my previous addendum and proceed with the usurp as originally requested. Thanks again. GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 02:00, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Reading through the target username contribs, only two are in article space from 2006 (the other is on a talk page in 2008), and all three can be fairly judged as minor and inconsequential. Of the two in article space, one is a link correction, the other a word-choice change (replacing "hurt" with "distressed"). GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 12:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

- Reason: Tito Dutta is my real name. For last few months I have thinking to change username. First, I thought to change the name to "There is the North Pole" (a line from Jules Verne's novel "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras", but later changed mind because– the username is completely different from my current username and in world wide web I generally participate using real identity (some other forums like Ubuntu, Official Gmail forum, Official Orkut forum etc). That's why later I thought of changing my username to "T. Dutta", "Tito D" etc. But, I think username "Tito" will be the best because 1) it'll give me anonymity to some extent (Tito Dutta is a very uncommon name, if you search in world wide web, you'll get all results related to me. But, only Tito is exactly opposite– very common name. 2) It is still real identity.

- It is within a bureaucrat's discretion, but regular practice is not to grant requests that would effectively take away the SUL claim from a user in another project (see WP:Handling SUL conflicts). If this request is not granted the best option I can see is to wait some time, at least a year, for the accounts to be considered stale — Frankie (talk) 17:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
