Reason: Hi, I created the account `samueljohnson` but didn't use much and forgot the password. I had to then create `esamueljohnson`. I would like edit histories, all preferences and settings of `esamueljohnson` to be also be moved to `samueljohnson`, while retaining the 'Registration date' of `samueljohnson`. Thanks.

The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at
Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
Not doneEsamueljohnson, we unfortunately cannot merge accounts. You may either continue to use your existing username of "Esamueljohnson", or you may ask to usurp "Samueljohnson" and then rename your newer account to it. This will not preserve the registration date of "Samueljohnson", but it will move your edits, preferences, and settings from "Esamueljohnson" to "Samueljohnson". If you want to usurp the name, please file a request at
