2601:980:C100:14:C71:107C:A3B7:C47A → Curatrix

- Reason: I would like to request global access to this abandoned username. This would serve as a new start for myself and since there have been no edits it seems ideal for usurpation.

- IP, you are going to need to log into an account as that is all that can be renamed as usurping does not involve "registering" for a taken username. Additionally, usurping is normally reserved for accounts with established histories, so please keep that in mind as well. Please ask if you have any questions. Nihlus 09:39, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

- Hi. According to the "Notes" section above, the requesting user account might not be entitled to request an usurpation. I'd prefer if someone more acquainted with local customs could share its input here. @Avraham, MBisanz, and Xaosflux comes to my mind. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:45, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- I would not classify the requester a "reasonably well-established user". — xaosflux Talk 20:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. The global guideline also suggests that only well-established users should be able to request usurpation. Therefor, I think that this request should be closed as not done for now. If the user continues to contribute here, then after a period of time they would be able to usurp the requested name. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- I concur as well. The account requesting usurpation is too new. Should GeneThomas2 become more active in Wikipedia, a request in three to six months from now would probably be routine. -- Avi (talk) 15:52, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- Thank you for your response. I don't consider the use of the requested usurpation to be temporary at this point. Neither am I sure what the correct venue is for a request of this type. This username (Wikiped-tan) already exists and I have posted to the userpage already. I currently have two other usernames for exactly two different purposes. One username of mine is used for 'regular' editing and was established over ten years ago. My second username, Barbara (WVS) was created in 2015 for the specific purpose of editing as a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar with the University of Pittsburgh and so the supervisors at Pitt could easily follow my editing history. I don't want those two usernames changed. I only wanted to let someone, somewhere know that I have taken 'responsibility' for this inactive/unused username. If this isn't the venue, please advise me or I can simply continue to act 'boldly' until I am told that my editing is inappropriate. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 10:38, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

- 1)Usurpation using the format you have executed the template, would rename Barbara (WVS) to Wikipe-Tan. You will not be able to use Barbara(WVS) anymore and I don't think that's what you want.
- 2)It seems to me that you primarily want another new legit-sock-account named Wikipe-tan, which is currently globally claimed. I don't think that we usually allow such claiming of interesting user-names, unless in situation extraordinare and our policy is hazy on these aspects.Anyways, even if we allow it, you have to create a new account which has to be then renamed to Wikipe-tan.
- 3)Your's reason behind the request is definitely interesting but I personally don't feel that (sort of) mascot-names shall be allowed to be usurped and/or held by any particular user (as is the case here). ~ Winged BladesGodric 11:59, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- Clerk note:--At any case, the desired target-account do not have a local account on the English Wikipedia and hence, this request must be made at meta:Steward requests/Username changes.~ Winged BladesGodric 12:19, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Winged Blades of Godric: While we appreciate help, it is important to make sure you get things right when providing information to users requesting username changes or those requesting to usurp other accounts for alternate purposes. Usurpations can definitely be used in cases such as using alternative accounts or for using two accounts simultaneously. While it is not something done frequently, there is nothing prohibiting it. (Many users have requested usurping accounts that may be used to impersonate them, for instance.) There is nothing wrong with making this request here. Additionally, the template can be changed and any renamed carried out differently than the rename implies as global renamers and
bureaucratsstewards don't just go clicking buttons without reading the request. Further, a new account does not need to be created in order for a username to usurped. It can be usurped and then created by the requesting user at Special:CreateAccount. Finally, it is not imperative that such requests be made at m:SRUC since the target account has no edits. - @Barbara (WVS): I'm looking into this and will provide more info soon. Thanks.

- I don't see a policy-based reason to decline this usurp request. The account won't be used for serious editing. This will be best actioned by usurping the existing account, and allowing the requestee to create an account with the same username. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 23:46, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not done @Barbara (WVS): After discussing this with Ajraddatz, I've decided to decline this, specifically for WP:MISLEADNAME. Additionally, the goal of using this username as a pseudonym for writing is not impeded by the lack of control of the actual account. The username has been blocked before and would likely be blocked again. Nihlus 01:30, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

- Bachhaus.eisenach, Komkon 2 or Joerg bachhaus – I think you're at the wrong venue here: you should ask for a renaming of your original account (that is the Bachhaus.eisenach account), to a name that has not been used before. Accounts can not be merged, so if you login with a new user name, the edits done with that username can not be merged to your previous account (which is important in the context where you want to continue to edit). So pick a username that has not been used before (not even by yourself), and submit a Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or Special:GlobalRenameRequest – for instance the username "JörgH" is currently not taken (can be checked at Special:CentralAuth), so if that or another previously unused username is OK for you, then log in to Wikipedia with your Bachhaus.eisenach account, and ask for a renaming to such a previously unused name at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or Special:GlobalRenameRequest. --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:23, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
