I believe I once created this account and then forgot about it. I have the same account name on commons and in de-wp. I've been a WikiGnome in en-wp as an IP for quite some time now and would like to have an account since it's more convenient to edit while logged in. Thanks and cheers, Gnom2 11:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Usurpation is usually reserved for established contributers and your account has very few editts. However, given your use of this name on other projects, a bureaucrat may be willing to perform the usurpation anyway. If you can provide details of the IP address you edit from so that its contribs can be reviewed, that would strengthen your case... WjB scribe 12:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Exempli gratia: See my last edit. -- Gnom2 12:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Unfortunately if your contributions are over a number of IPs that makes it a lot harder to review them. I note that you have been a user of de.wiki since January 2005 and have made over a thousand edits to that project. We'll see what the bureaucrats decide. Even if they don't think its appropriate to do it now you can always ask again after a few months of editing as Gnom2... WjB scribe 12:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

  As described on my current user page and in the talk for THIS page Rfortner is my account in the German and French Wikipedia. Till now I did all my edits in the english Wikipedia via my Austrian IP, so HERE I am not a "well-established" user. But as discussed in the talk, I am a quite well established user in the German Wiki (and somehow also in the French). Therefore I kindly ask for the requested usurpation, as Rfortner never did any edit since the account was created in January 2006. All Details are in the discussion mentioned above.

 Clerk note: We usually reverse usurp for "established users." Now Apanda created the account and had an edit in September, but really didn't start to edit until May. Do we go with the date of the creation of the account, or since they began to edit? ~  Wikihermit 02:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Apanda's been editing quite solidly for over a month and created his account last September. He's made nearly 400 edits. I would have thought its fine - but it is a borderline case and the crat who reviews the request will have to whether in their discretion that's sufficiently established. WjB scribe 02:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC) reply

If it matters when I began to edit, I made edits using IP address 128.12.179.47 before I knew that you could create a user name (first edit 12 November 2005). Then I also made edits with IP address 72.25.91.86 in July 2006, and have forgotten to sign in a few times and edited with IP addresses 68.183.197.114 and 66.245.255.28.

I'm not comfortable with renaming users on the English language wikipedia to untypable (and in many cases undisplayable) usernames. I'm not doing any until SUL comes in, if it ever does. Usernames displaying as squares breaks things for many users, the only benefit is a minor one to the user account renamed. I don't see the balance to be beneficial to the project.

Secretlondon: I understand in the past users with non-English usernames were blocked, but a sysop made it clear to me this is not the policy anymore. I want this usurpation so that my username will be the same in all wikimedia projects.

TheFearow: this is simply the name David in Hebrew. It has nothing to do with the word tit. DMTsurel 08:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC) reply

 Clerk note: The account requesting the usurpation is very new (created for the purpose of making this request) and usurpation is generally reserved for established users. However, there is evidence that the editor has made substantial contribitions to Wikipedia under various IP addresses - for example it seems he made over 100 as User:81.179.123.35. Information about the other IPs would be useful but it seems to me likely the requester would make good use of the name (the reason for restricting usurpation to established users)...

That's a GFDL thing, right? Attribution and all that? I'm not sure if it applies in this case -- see the user's one edit, which was a simple grammatical fix that probably doesn't fall under copyright. Andre ( talk) 23:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply

It's a policy thing. Usurpation was controversial and it took a lot of compromise to get consensus that it should happen. The agreement reached was that any edit whatsoever would prevent usurpation. A lot of the discussion can be found at Wikipedia talk:Usurpation and its archive. Some crats have been willing to perform these usurpations (few edits long ago, especially where there are no GFDL consequences) as an exercise of discretion, but they do not presently fall within the usurpation policy. WjB scribe 23:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply

This looks like an edit with no GFDL issues so I think I'll go ahead and do it when we get to the right date. Andre ( talk) 07:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC) reply

This edit, which looks like a minor spelling/grammar fix, is in fact attributable to the GNU FDL. Only vandalism, test edits, and others of that sort isn't an FDL issue. ( → vish win60 - is User:O in 4 days (possibly)) 17:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Clerk note. Although the target username has no edits, it made one edit (now deleted) to Milf on July 11, 2003. The page was later redirected to Mother I'd Like To Fuck and subsequently deleted as a broken redirect under CSD R1. The edit was to create a stub and appears to have been in good faith. Accounts with any edits whatsoever cannot be usurped under present policy, including deleted edits. This may need some discussion. WjB scribe 01:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

What is the reason for not being able to usurp accounts with deleted edits? If they're gone, they can't have any GFDL meaning. Andre ( talk) 02:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

The argument at the time the policy was being developed was they they would not be moved when the account was renamed and if undeleted would be attributed to the wrong person. Now that the rename function reattributes deleted edits as well [7] that problem no longer arises. WjB scribe 02:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

In that case, I'm announcing my intention to perform this usurpation when the time comes, and meanwhile we should modify the policy to allow this sort of thing. Andre ( talk) 02:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Originally, deleted edits were a pain in the ass, as the archive table was not updated during renames. If that stopped being a problem, then I see no problem with the usurpation, because AFAIK the GFDL was the only impediment behind the reattribution of these edits. I'd make sure of this with a test account beforehand, though. Titoxd^{( ?!? - cool stuff)} 02:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Confirmed. Lets use the last rename as our example - it was done about an hour ago. User:Mindys12345 became User:Adam.J.W.C.. The deleted edits made prior to that rename are now attributed to User:Adam.J.W.C., not User:Mindys12345. WjB scribe 02:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I have requested usurpation of this username once before: Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations/Rejected/1#Jeremyb ← LinuxMigration. I believe that the typical minimum 7 day waiting period between notification and usurpation is unnecessary because the user was warned for my original request and did not respond.
I was planning on waiting longer to request usurpation again, but I received a notice on my talk page today threatening blocking/forced WP:CHU because my name does comply with the criteria at WP:UN and therefore submit this as a possible remedy and to avoid conflict over that issue.
