  ZwoBot 00:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC) reply

ZwoBot is my bot account (my normal user account is Head, but I'm mostly active on de: Head). For automated interwiki placement, I have bot accounts for a total of 118 languages. English is the only language where the name 'Zwobot' was taken. As you can read on User:Zwobot, it has been intentionally grabbed in 2004 with the intention of misleading people and vandalizing.

All pages created by the vandal were promptly deleted, and the only edit left is the one with which the user page was created. The user has been permanently blocked since 2005. As it is clear that this is only a vandal account, I have not notified the vandal that I'd like to usurp the username.

Having identical usernames on all sites would be very useful, especially when thinking of the single login system that is under development. -- Head

Note:

• The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.

Does this conflict invalidate the legimiacy of his blocks? And do you have a link to the discussion? i  ^said 06:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply

This is actually totally irrelevant, save for the fact that most of his blocks of me were undone fairly soon after they set in, and there are lots of users around to certify this, including Melsaran above, Sceptre, Matthew... take a peep at my talk archives and his for info. But it doesn't affect this anyway.-- Rambutan ( talk) 07:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply

It is not irrelevant. Problematic users have been denied usurpations in the past. I'm not accusing you of being one, however your blocklog is rather extensive, and Phil Sandifer's blocks were not undone because they were in error, but because the situation had changed. I'm not a bureaucrat, so I cannot decide whether or not the rename will be disallowed because of blocklogs, but I thought I'd point it out. I believe that blocklogs do not move on renames, so they may deny it because your blocklog (both valid ones and invalid ones) would be lost. i  ^said 23:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Most of his blocks were undone because they were in error, or too harsh, or he was considered to simply be biased. What are the chances of the "situation changing" on so many blocks? Plus, I genuinely didn't know about the blocklog loss; why is that?-- Rambutan ( talk) 07:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

The secondary reason is that although I don't mind my last name being displayed for the world to see, I would prefer to be known as 'Jamie'. It is a more personal and concise username.
The account I am requesting to usurp has never been used in any edits, otherwise I would not have made this request.

I am the owner of both accounts. I had lost the login info for the original, so created this account a month or so ago. Since then I have re-located the login info for the original account, and would very much like to combine these 2 back into one under the original name.

Well, I always prefer to register as "Artyom" on different resources on the internet I'm interested in, and have the accounts with that name on Commons and Simple English by now, though not using them as much yet. The reason for choosing "Artyx" when registering is that is the first thing that I came up with when I couldn't register "Artyom", although I don't like "Artyx" as much. I thought that me being quite new on Wikipedia could be the reason for my request being rejected when I was making it, but since I already had more than 100 edits at the time, I was hoping it would be approved.

Well as I is having trouble making up his mind, the opinions of others may help... Personally, I agree that Soleil would be a better name.

I is fine as a username (otherwise you wouldn't have been renamed to it) but if you're asking what others think - I prefer Soleil (you'll still have User:I as a redirect your userpage)...

Oh I know. I do want a new username, I am aware of the concerns about my current one, for instance what Secretlondon often says about single letter names. I'm just not sure what I would like to change it to. I wouldn't have my name changed a fourth time, so I want to make sure what name I really want. I'll probably end up going with Soleil, but I hadn't decided for sure during the week, so I'll probably just ask a bureaucrat if I do decide on Soleil, as the week has already passed. i  ^(talk) 18:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Personal Preference. I want to ditch the "Wiki" part of my username. I know this user has edits and might not make the criteria. Those edits were back in 2003 and only to its own userpage. — trey ^{omg he's back} 21:47, 2 November 2007 (UTC) reply

• As this account has made 6 edits, it does not meet the standard requirements for usurpation. Given the latest of those edits was in May 2004 and all were to the account's own userspace, there are no GFDL or other issues with this request. A bureaucrat may therefore be willing to perform the request as a matter of discretion.

Your account has made few edits to the project - usurpation is generally reserved for established users so we can make sure common names will be put to good use. If this request is declined on that basis, you may wish to ask again when you have contributed more substantially to Wikipedia. WjB scribe 00:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi WJB and thanks for your prompt reply. I am a newbie to English Wikipedia, but I am active on other projects, e.g. I am an administrator of the Polish chapter nicknamed "pundit", I also sporadically contribute to Wikimedia. As I thought of increasing my contributions to en-wiki, and as the account of "pundit" has not been used, I thought I could perhaps kindly request taking my activity in other wiki projects into account in the usurpation petition. Integration of nicknames on wikiprojects somebody is active on surely does make some sense, and (be the petition positively considered) I believe it also is reasonable to contribute from the very start under the same nickname. In any case, thanks for your consideration. Englishpundit 00:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC) reply

I apologise - had I taken the time to look at your userpage I would have seen you had substantial contributions to another project. There shouldn't be any problem with a bureaucrat peforming the rename in these circumstances. WjB scribe 01:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Note:

• The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
• The current owner of the username has been notified of this usurpation request.

While I believe that edits to userspace and usertalk pages are sometimes waived, I do not know if this applies to article talk pages. In addition, while you have edited constructively since the original request, it has not been extensive. Also, as the notification on the requested name's talk page was placed several months ago, should a bureaucrat be willing to disregard the edits, it can probably be done without the requisite week waiting time. We shall have to see what a bureaucrat thinks. I (talk) 06:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm not a bureaucrat, but my understanding is that if any edits from the target account were not reverted quikcly, that username is unavailable for usurpation. If they were reverted quickly (which in this case, they weren't) it would make the target username possibility for usurpation. I'm sorry but it seems unlikely this will be performed. Qst 21:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC) reply

 Done. After some thought, I'm going to allow this one. It seems to me that on talkpages attribution can be given through signatures as well as through the page history - a note such as this one should be more than enough to comply with the requirements of the GFDL. The target account has been inactive for over 2 years and only edited for a couple of minutes. This is however at the extreme limit of what I consider to be a valid request.
