Reason: The 'dot' in my username creates confusion for some users. I had requested 'Neo' but it is not available. So I requested 'Abhi' but withdrew request. I checked global contribs of 'The One'. Only 76 contribs and that wikiquote user is blocked. As it is sock account and master is active till date, that sock account probably may never be unblocked. I request you to please rename my account to 'The One'.

Please see carefully. Username on en-wiki is not taken and home-wiki of global account is wikiquote. That account is sock and blocked. That means the username is free to be usurped. You can ask these experienced admins. They are not responding to me.

A move is planned to a system where "there will only be unique global accounts across all Wikimedia wikis; it will no longer be possible for two users on different wikis to have the same user name" (see
here). Since
there are several other accounts using this name on various projects, I doubt whether you will be allowed to adopt it; but in any case, what you are asking for is usurpation, and this page is only for simple changes. The place to apply is
Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations.
JohnCD (
talk) 21:34, 3 July 2013 (UTC)reply
NO! The username 'The One' on this en-wiki is not taken, so no need to usurp. This is 'simple' case for en-wiki. Pls note that
this global account holder is sock and blocked. He has created global account on 11 wikis(total 55 edits only on wikiquote). 4 separate users have separate accounts on 4 wikis (total 31 edits). I will have to make usurpation request on 15 other wikis. That's my problem and I will do it. But as en-wiki is my home wiki, I need rename here first. And I repeat, on this en-wiki this is simple renaming case because account 'The One' is not taken by anyone. Please rename my account. Thanks.

Reason: I did not realize that I couldn't use my company name to post articles. This was stupid of me. I would like to change my username to my personal name so that I can post person articles and avoid issues that would be related to my company. I don't want to cause any further confusion with anyone thinking that this account will be in any way related to my company.

Since the target username you need is registered (even to you), you will need to usurp it, or "take it over" with the Benfeix.sans account. Alternatively, if you own Benefix.sans on the English Wikipedia, you can stop using the one that you typoed if you don't mind the 4 contributions you've made (one of them being here) from being non-attributed to your Benefix.sans account.

A move is planned to a system where "there will only be unique global accounts across all Wikimedia wikis; it will no longer be possible for two users on different wikis to have the same user name" (see
here). Since
there are several other accounts using this name on various projects, I doubt whether you will be allowed to adopt it; but in any case, what you are asking for is usurpation, and this page is only for simple changes. The place to apply is
Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations.
JohnCD (

NO! The username 'The One' on this en-wiki is not taken, so no need to usurp. This is 'simple' case for en-wiki. Pls note that
this global account holder is sock and blocked. He has created global account on 11 wikis(total 55 edits only on wikiquote). 4 separate users have separate accounts on 4 wikis (total 31 edits). I will have to make usurpation request on 15 other wikis. That's my problem and I will do it. But as en-wiki is my home wiki, I need rename here first. And I repeat, on this en-wiki this is simple renaming case because account 'The One' is not taken by anyone. Please rename my account. Thanks.

Reason: I have the Jelt account on the French wikipedia and I'd like to use it on the English wikipedia. There is an abandoned Japanese Jelt account, but no English one at the moment.

This could be an issue come August, when I believe the global account will be automatically created and assigned to the ja user. You may wish to start at

Not done 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 now?

Given that the target account is blocked as a sockpuppet, it's possible they were registering requested names obstructively. If a steward were to delete the global account (see
m:SR/SUL), I would be minded to speedy usurp it for you. –

I would like to change my username to my personal name so that I can post person articles and avoid issues that would be related to my company.

Clerk note: The
WP:CHUU process is where you need to be. This page is for changing to usernames which do not exist. Since the target username you need is registered (even to you), you will need to usurp it, or "take it over" with the Benfeix.sans account. Alternatively, if you own Benefix.sans on the English Wikipedia, you can stop using the one that you typoed if you don't mind the 4 contributions you've made (one of them being here) from being non-attributed to your Benefix.sans account.
