- Reason: Old nickname. I want to sign by my name. (somebody change my request for Nienagrywamlola1234)
- @Nienagrywamlola: Could you please re-explain the reason for the username change request. Your requested name (Nienagrywamlola1234) is almost same as of old name (Nienagrywamlola). ‐‐1997kB (talk) 09:25, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

TheOm3ga
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: TheOm3ga (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: JoseTomasTocino (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I already changed my username from TheOm3ga to JoseTomasTocino, but all my uploads are still signed with the old name so I'm looking for them to be renamed (like for example this pic)
(Spanish) Hola @JoseTomasTocino: La fotografía que mencionas utiliza tu antiguo nombre de usuario porque toma los datos de la plantilla de Commons que todavía no ha sido actualizada (i.e. c:File:Panorámica Puerta Tierra Cádiz 1.jpg). Para corregirlo basta con editar la plantilla de información de cada imagen que subiste. Fíjate por ejemplo que aquí sí aparece correctamente porque los datos en c:File:Gaucín desde el mirador sur.jpg son los correctos. Dado que puede ser una tarea algo tediosa, sobre todo si has subido muchas imágenes, puede que quizá quieras solicitarle a un operador de robots que lo haga por ti. En Commons dichas solicitudes se hacen en c:Commons:Bots/Work_requests. Parece ser que también puedes hacerlo tú mismo a través de un script llamado VisualChange, pero si no tienes experiencia con él lo mejor, creo, es pedirle a alguien que te eche una mano o haga los cambios por tí. Un saludo. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:24, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

- @Davide Di Marco: I don't know, it's their choice but is there any issue if someone else handle your rename? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- @1997kB: there is no problem, but it is possible? thanks--Davide Di Marco (talk) 11:00, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Ciao @Davide Di Marco:, ti rispondo in italiano, la tua richiesta è inusuale, in quanto la policy non prevede che sia un determinato rinominatore a rinominare un certo utente, né che un utente richieda quale rinominatore debba procedere (salvo casi particolari e riguardanti dati sensibili che vengono gestiti scrivendo - in qualsiasi lingua - via mail). Personalmente, se non ci sono particolari motivi, ti consiglio di contattare il rinominatore (via mail o sulla talk) per assicurarti che prenda visione della richiesta e la evada al più presto. Ovviamente se ciò non dovesse avvenire provvederemmo noi (inteso come un altro rinominatore qualsiasi) a gestirla. Per ogni dubbio puoi rispondere anche in italiano. Saluti! --Superpes15 (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- ok thanks @Superpes15:, then try asking other Steward, for the moment I want the nickname to remain Davide Di Marco then in the future I will make a new request for the name change, thanks--Davide Di Marco (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

RisoScotti S.p.A
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: RisoScotti S.p.A (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Scotti1860 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Il nome utente primario è stato ritenuto non adatto e per questo bloccato, credo la modifica per poter usare il mio account
- Not done @RisoScotti S.p.A: Secondo le policy di itwiki, non si possono utilizzare "nomi che riproducono o reclamizzano un'impresa, un marchio o un prodotto commerciale", il nome utente Scotti può riferirsi tranquillamente a tantissime persone ma anche al famoso riso e, vista anche la foto caricata, sembra che la tua contribuzione sia comunque coinvolta nel prodotto in questione. Perciò, considerando che le tue modifiche riguarderanno sicuramente il riso Scotti, ti invito a scegliere un altro nome utente che rispetti i criteri di itwiki (oltre a quelli globali) e che risulti totalmente estraneo al prodotto. Grazie per la comprensione e buon proseguimento di serata --Superpes15 (talk) 13:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
Quahog
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Quahog (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Giggity (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm hoping I'll be able to usurp this username, if possible (admittedly, I do prefer it more than my current username). A look at the contributions of the current holder of this username on ptwiki shows that they haven't been active in several years, only has a few minor (and what I'd consider to be insignificant) edits that aren't noticable on the final revision of said pages.
- On hold until 5 December. --Hamish 09:32, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Preferred username. I noticed that it did not have any edits since about six years ago, so I decided to request for an username change.--Bjturedwind (talk) 13:43, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

Dun~enwiki
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Dun~enwiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Nuadha (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Nuadha is my username across many different sites, I had "Dun" here until the single-user login effort but a HU wiki user won that battle :) So Dun~enwiki is not really my preferred name. The current user Nuadha has 0 edits, and was registered in 2013. I am not sure if I accidentally created this when trying to change my user name a while back.
- @Dun~enwiki: Hi. Considering that Nuadha exists only on en.wikipedia; you may wish to post this request on w:WP:USURP instead so it takes a week to process, instead of a month. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:41, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio: Hi, thank you for the information, I submitted the same request there - should I delete this, or how should I proceed? Thanks! Dun~enwiki (talk) 12:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Not done Per response. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:31, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi. I've recently discovered my old account information and would like to request that they be merged. Is it possible to merge user history and contributions for both accounts? Thank you in advance, please ping me if you have any questions as this is not my main project. Cheers! -Borys Kozielski (talk) 11:06, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
@Borys Kozielski: Hello. I am afraid it is not technically possible on Wikimedia Wikis to merge accounts. Sorry. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:48, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Impersonation accounts
|status = notdone
A few years ago a user created a number of impersonation accounts with some grotesque names for a series of Wikipedia users. Although these accounts were blocked long ago, the names still pop up in the search box when looking at contributions or similar. Please could these names be removed permanently? The correct usernames are w:user:Nishidani, w:user:Malik Shabazz, w:user:Nableezy, w:user:Huldra, and w:user:Zero0000. I have listed the ones to be removed below:
- Special:CentralAuth/Nishidani is a paid Hamas shill
- Special:CentralAuth/Nishidani is an Arab supremacist
- Special:CentralAuth/Nishidanii
- Special:CentralAuth/Malik Shabazzz
- Special:CentralAuth/Malik Shabb da racist Moslem
- Special:CentralAuth/Nableeezy
- Special:CentralAuth/Nableezy with head blown off
- Special:CentralAuth/Nableezy with head blown off2
- Special:CentralAuth/Nableezy with head blown off3
- Special:CentralAuth/Huldra is Judeophobic
- Special:CentralAuth/Huldra is an anti-Semite.
- Special:CentralAuth/Huldra is kill
- Special:CentralAuth/Huldra the anti-Śemite ripped apart by guard dogs
- Special:CentralAuth/Huldra torn apart alive by hunting dogs
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000 and his Small Peanis
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000 and the Small Pnis
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000 the British Supremacist
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000 the Eurotrash Israelophobe
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000's bloated corpse
- Special:CentralAuth/Zero0000's severed, rotting head
Many thanks. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Onceinawhile: For the abusive one's renaming is not a solution here, because rename traces could be found in log and page history and there's no practice of renaming abusive usernames because Stewards usually hide them on spot and that's what you should go for so you can ask them to be hidden at SRG. For the impersonation accounts, as they are already blocked, no gain in renaming either. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:53, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will do so. Onceinawhile (talk) 08:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

- Hello again, Lukecody; I've got to ask: are you aware of, and confortable with, the potential implications of using your real name in Wikimedia? Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 21:48, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi MarcoAurelio, of course I'm sure. I do not see any problem, since it is only my first name. Greetings, I await a prompt response. And thanks. Lukecody (talk) 21:57, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hey, request from blocked users are generally rejected and your CU block on commons is very recent, so this will not be accepted. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Lukecody: Well it's not a simple block of WC misuse, you abused the project with multiple accounts, which is serious concern. Apart from that renaming you will affect the commons too, so the only way from here is either you get unblocked from commons. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- 1997kB, ok, rename me and then they lock me from Commons, ok? Please 🥺🙏 Also, I understand that it is my IP address that is blocked. Lukecody (talk) 02:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Lukecody Sorry, as I said above we can't accept this request as long as you are blocked on Wikimedia Commons. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:02, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- 1997kB, ok, rename me and then they lock me from Commons, ok? Please 🥺🙏 Also, I understand that it is my IP address that is blocked. Lukecody (talk) 02:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
