Sorry but I still have a problem, my request was rejected of the Japanese wiki because "target username already existed, and every usurpation requests closed from 17 July 2013, as per local-policy. Anyway you haven't qualifications for requesting usurpation of the username". Now I have two different accounts and my French one will be automatically renamed on August, 1rst. What can I do?

In the end, it worked perfectly with the Japanese wikipedia. Would it now be possible to change the Jeltfr from the English wikipedia to Jelt, in order to keep my contributions from the English wiki (I think there are 3 on the French wiki from Jeltfr, but they're not important to me)?

Reason: the current username is used by another specific person frequently on other web resources (as it is this person's real lastname) and incorrectly identifies him as the author of the articles I posted to people interested in those articles. So I would like to set a more generic name such as the one I suggest above.

{{
notdone}} I agree. Given it's a blocked sockpuppet at the Japanese wiki, they should be willing to do the rename. MBisanztalk 02:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)reply
Sorry but I still have a problem, my request was rejected of the Japanese wiki because "target username already existed, and every usurpation requests closed from 17 July 2013, as per local-policy. Anyway you haven't qualifications for requesting usurpation of the username". Now I have two different accounts and my French one will be automatically renamed on August, 1rst. What can I do?

Would it be possible to change my account name to Jèlt, or is it disruptive? It seems too complicated to get the Jelt SUL but I don't want to specify my nationality on my pseudonym. Then I'll rename my French account too. Thanks

Sorry, I didn't see your answer. I'm just waiting a last day to see if something finally happens on the japanese wikipedia (there are some discussions that I can't fully understand because of the language), but I think it won't work there. Thanks
Jeltfr (

In the end, it worked perfectly with the Japanese wikipedia. Would it now be possible to change the Jeltfr from the English wikipedia to Jelt, in order to keep my contributions from the English wiki (I think there are 3 on the French wiki from Jeltfr, but they're not important to me)? Thank you very much for the help!

Reason: I want to rename my account because i have used a real name and i don't want to have wikipedia anymore but i did not know that you cannot delete your account after it has been made as i did not know anything about wikipedia. I think i am too young to have a wikipedia account anyway and i do not understand how to use it. I only made an account because i wanted to make myself a wikipedia page but i didn't know the consequences until after i made my account, and now i regret making my account in the first place. I no longer want to make myself a page and i want to stop using wikipedia as i don't understand. Thank You

Because of the future modifications regarding the SUL, I encounter some difficulties contributing as well on wp:fr on one hand and elsewhere on the other hand. My own SUL had been automatically created with the username "Martin1813", which my username here and elsewhere and I don't like it.
