[edit] Phoebe ← Brassratgirl

  • note: I've been thinking about this for some time; time to bite the bullet & ask for a name change.

I know the name Phoebe has been registered but dormant for at least two years (and I don't of any other active "phoebe"s on the projects).

I do not edit indiscriminately, I correct mistakes and omissions as I see them. Hopefully they will set a rule of the number of edits to be considered "reasonably well-established" instead of it seeming a completely discriminatory decision. Greg Birdsall 12:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kyoko ← Tachikoma

(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)

– 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)

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)

N Not done Account was created last month. Please apply after 6 months. =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Could you PLEASE usurp User:Wassermann as I asked? I tried to create this account using that username yet it was taken; however, User:Wassermann hasn't even been used yet, and obviously never will be -- so what is the big deal in going ahead and switching my username? Where is the policy stating that a user must wait six months to apply for a username switch? --WassermannNYC 12:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
After only a month, perhaps the user may still edit. Maybe something will catch his eye. The 6 months is a simple courtesy to help it out. The same principle can be seen at the essay Wikipedia:Jamaican Bobsled Team clause -Mask 22:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Could please you be a little less rude? I goofed up on the date as the account was created last year, so now I have usurped the account. As for six months, I have put up the notice on the talk page and also WP:BN. Anyways, usurpations are left to the bureaucrat's discretion so am well within the given latitude to have refused the usurpation. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

What's going on with User talk:Ryan? It looks like the account made edits that were deleted, maybe they predate the logs? Secretlondon 00:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I thought about fishing through to find out but given the deletion log isn't searchable, trying to find every page that was deleted on 25 July 2005 would be quite a task. Still the warning that was left does seem to suggest deleted edits, though I can't think of a way to find out to what page... WjBscribe 00:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me butting in but I noticed by using various history lists that Ryan has had a username change to Acetic Acid. If you take a look at this page then you will see that there's a comment from Ryan on 31 July 2005. Thatguy69talk 17:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Does it mean to rename Nolanus and after rename Nolanuss to Nolanus?
I cant prove that it is mine with e-mail but you can see: my fist edit on cs.wiki was 6. august 2005 [4] ; my first edit on de.wiki was a bit earlier 24 Juni 2005[5], my 2 first edit with Nolanus before I lost the spassword were 9. august 2005, with Nolanuss I edited 15. august 2005 [6]. I think, it can be seen, that it is practically unpossible that Nolanus could be an other one than me. And if you search Nolanus with google, you will find Giordano Bruno, Paulinus Nolanus /a pholosoph and one death writer/ and the all other ones Nolanuses are me! There is no other one who used this name. /sorry for my english/ --Nolanuss 18:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Mudgarden ← Ivan Kricancic

Reason: I am trying to "disappear" from Wikipedia. I have recently had my user, user talk, and user sub pages deleted to help with my wish to disappear. I would also like to change my user name to help me disappear from Wikipedia. I would like to usurp this user name, as it has no edits or logs. Please don't make my former user/talk pages redirect to my new one, as this would defeat the purpose. I want the name Alice Mudgarden just in case (though extremely unlikely) in the future I decide to come back - editing Wikiepdia under my real name was a big mistake, as some users have taken it upon themselves to attack me off-wiki, and post personal information about me (see these two blogs for examples - http://psihoanalize.blog.hr/ http://brojac.blogger.ba/). Please fulfill my request. Thank you very much. —KingIvan 10:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: I'm not sure usurpation is appropriate if you are planning to disappear from Wikipedia. There is a chance someone else may want this account who will contribute to the project. I think it might be better if you chose a name that wasn't taken. Presumably if you are unlikely to return the choice of name isn't that important... WjBscribe 10:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to usurp if you are disappearing. Why not get renamed to something you don't care about? Secretlondon 06:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm disappearing from the articles that I would normally edit, and going to focus all of my editing on different articles. And I wish to do this under the name "Alice Mudgarden". —KingIvan 04:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infophile ← DrLeebot

Reasoning: There's the potential that my current name may cause me to be mistaken for a bot. I've left a note on my user page about it to clear up confusion, but a change in name would prevent any confusion in the first place. The name "Infophile" is what I generally go by elsewhere on the 'net, so I'd like to use that here as well.

Note on my contributions: Due to my work/school schedule, I have a lot more time to help out here during the summer. This is why you'll see a long period of little activity over the last eight months on my account. I expect to be making many more contributions in the coming months.--DrLeebot 15:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George ← George.Saliba

Reasoning: User appears to just be a name squatter; no user page, no edits, no messages left for them – ever. I would prefer the anonymity of the name "George" to my full name, without losing the full identity that I've established here on Wikipedia as a hard-working editor who tries to find neutrality on controversial issues. I believe this name would let me achieve both these things – anonymity with recognizability to my existing friends and peers. — George Saliba [talk] 16:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, I do not want to be confused with George Saliba, a professor at Columbia University. While we share the same name, we are not the same person, and I don't want any bias in discussions, either in favor or in opposition to my views, based on my name. I'm not aware of anyone that has noticed the article with the same name yet, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time until someone confuses me for him. — George Saliba [talk] 17:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I did not make the notification myself because another user unrelated to this usurpation request has redirected User talk:N to their own usertalk page. The person making this request should remove the redirect and replace it with the proper notification template on that page. Also, if this usurpation is done, NeonMerlin (talk · contribs) should be notified that his or her redirects at User:R User:N and User talk:R User talk:N will no longer be redirecting to their user space. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 19:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • (edit conflict) I was just about to write about this but I had to answer the phone. Apparently this account was created by User:NeonMerlin as a shortcut for his signature, however only 2 pages other than this one link to User:N and none link to User talk:N. I will post on both N and NeonMerlin's pages, and will fix the two N signatures if this change is approved. (I believe you mistyped when you put User:R in the post above).

[edit] Charles ← Cfvh

  • I would prefer to use this account name, which seemingly has no edits or logs, so that I can ditch the initials. I wonder though, will all of my edits be reassigned to this user name in edit histories, even though my signature links will stay the same (which is fine)? Also, can redirects from the old name be protected somehow? Thanks. Charles 03:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
    Yes all your edits and logged actions will be attributed to your new username. Your signature on any pages you've signed in the past will still point to the old pages but you can redirect them to the new ones. Prob the best way to make sure you keep the redirects would be to recreate the account "Cfvh" following the rename. WjBscribe 03:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

    Oh okay, thank you! Will I be notified when the change occurs? Charles 03:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
    I can email you if you would like - but you'll probably notice as you won't be able to log in as "Cfvh" and will need to log in as "Charles". Also all your userpages and subpages will be automatically renamed. WjBscribe 03:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
    Thank you! I was actually about to ask about the subpages and user pages as I have an awful habit of asking a question and then coming back to ask another :-) An email would probably be the best solution for me as I check my email more often than my Wikipedia. Charles 03:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes you can re-register the old name. I would probably recommend that to guard against impersonation. All your userpages and user subpages will automatically be moved to the new name (leaving redirects behind) during the rename. All your edits and logged actions will be reattributed to Peter, though any old links to your username (sigs on talkpages etc.) will still link to User:Petros471. WjBscribe 12:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Reason: Now that I'm an admin I would rather if my username was a little less directly connected to my real name. Using my initials seems like a good compromise. I understand that the rename is logged, and have no plans to change old signatures or anything like that - I just think the new name would be less conspicuous.

Unlike my rejected request above, I believe this account has never made any edits at all, although I don't have access to Kate's tool to check for deleted edits. Since I'm an admin, Wikipedia:List of administrators and User:NoSeptember/admin username changes need to be changed too. CMummert · talk 01:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
