Reason: Hello. I hereby formalize my request to rename my current username. I signed up for the platform a while ago but, due to negligence or ignorance of the usage policies, I chose a username that left me extremely regretful these days. Not only does it no longer reflect my online identity, it references a character from the Universal Pictures movie that I don't own. The truth is that (although I don't remember) I'm pretty sure that I created this username myself that I'm looking for right now! Recently, I've become very interested in becoming a much more active user within the Wikimedia group. In order for me to achieve this goal, in my opinion, the first step would be to change my username to something that was much more related to me. This already registered username is my real name and it is exactly my default identity that I try to use on every website I use.

I own this account (Chuterix) and the old ChutacoackoPlayz (aka. SuperFlag) account. I am merging accounts because I am using the Chuterix account mainly for Wiktionary. The ChutacoackoPlayz account also has been used on Wiktionary to edit page 歌ってみた and I recently created a page saying the account is unused. Do not delete any edits made by the Chuterix account.
If I have 2 accounts that would be very strange, so I just want 1 account only.

Reason: I am trying to "usurp" my old account that I have lost access to for not completely clear reasons. It used to be registered to my email that I am now using for this account (DaliborP), but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I haven't been using it for a few years which is the reason why it took me a while to notice something was wrong. After digging through my email, I found an old note that "the email address for this account has been changed". I am sure that I haven't changed it so I suspect a hack, but after so much time, I'm not sure anymore. However, looking at user contributions
/info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Izitpajn , there were no Wikipedia edits made after loss of access.

In case there is any doubt, is there a log of old email addresses connected to the account? If yes, it should be visible there that the address used to be the same one this account is using. Also, of this is seen through, do the contributions from two accounts merge?

If not, I'm not even sure I want to go through with it. My work under that name - as small as it was comparing to the bigger picture - is more "meaningful" than what I did under this name.

K6ka: What I meant is "IF the all edits under 'Izitpajn' name will be moved to a different name". From your message, I didn't get the information if this is the only way it can be done. So, before anything else, a direct question: is it possible for me to retake the "Izitpajn" name and for all its edits to remain?
Nevermind, I understand that the email information is hidden in the database. I was curious if, after the email is changed, this can be somehow reversed. If this was possible, all the "usurpation" procedure would be unnecessary. — Preceding

@
Neriah: I'm unclear as to what question is being asked of me, but I'll try to respond to those I can see here. The enwiki username policy would prohibit the "DOS" username in this case due to the promotional aspect as mentioned above. If their name is Ahn and they work at DOS Labs (which seems likely since they indicated they founded it), they could be renamed to "Ahn at DOS Labs" or something similar. I don't know anything about the reserved username thing mentioned above. ···

Reason: Hello. I hereby formalize my request to rename my current username. I signed up for the platform a while ago but, due to negligence or ignorance of the usage policies, I chose a username that left me extremely regretful these days. Not only does it no longer reflect my online identity, it references a character from the Universal Pictures movie that I don't own. The truth is that (although I don't remember) I'm pretty sure that I created this username myself that I'm looking for right now! Recently, I've become very interested in becoming a much more active user within the Wikimedia group. In order for me to achieve this goal, in my opinion, the first step would be to change my username to something that was much more related to me. This already registered username is my real name and it is exactly my default identity that I try to use on every website I use.

I own this account (Chuterix) and the old ChutacoackoPlayz (aka. SuperFlag) account. I am merging accounts because I am using the Chuterix account mainly for Wiktionary.

If I have 2 accounts that would be very strange, so I just want 1 account only.

Reason: I am trying to "usurp" my old account that I have lost access to for not completely clear reasons. It used to be registered to my email that I am now using for this account (DaliborP), but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I haven't been using it for a few years which is the reason why it took me a while to notice something was wrong. After digging through my email, I found an old note that "the email address for this account has been changed". I am sure that I haven't changed it so I suspect a hack, but after so much time, I'm not sure anymore. However, looking at user contributions
/info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Izitpajn , there were no Wikipedia edits made after loss of access.

In case there is any doubt, is there a log of old email addresses connected to the account? If yes, it should be visible there that the address used to be the same one this account is using. Also, of this is seen through, do the contributions from two accounts merge?

If not, I'm not even sure I want to go through with it. My work under that name - as small as it was comparing to the bigger picture - is more "meaningful" than what I did under this name.

K6ka: What I meant is "IF the all edits under 'Izitpajn' name will be moved to a different name". From your message, I didn't get the information if this is the only way it can be done. So, before anything else, a direct question: is it possible for me to retake the "Izitpajn" name and for all its edits to remain?
Nevermind, I understand that the email information is hidden in the database. I was curious if, after the email is changed, this can be somehow reversed. If this was possible, all the "usurpation" procedure would be unnecessary. — Preceding

Reason: Previous request was denied due to similar username already existing, (
BlockWid0w) however preexisting user has five edits, all of which were made almost four years ago within ten minutes of each other and all of which were made at the same article. No images uploaded to Commons, no significant contributions to any locale Wikipedia. I would like to have the username Block Widow but if I must directly usurp the exact username that would be acceptable.
Neriah Would you give some kind of reason why?

WhichUserAmI In principle, the request was not approved for the reason given by the bot. Now I noticed that there is a contradiction between the title of the paragraph and the template, in the template it says "BlockWid0w", which is an occupied name, and in the title it says "Block Widow", which is a free name. What is meant by your request?

Reason: I'm using DOS unername for many social networks, and I'm also the founder of my company DOS Labs.

Clerk note: The requested username "DOS" is not registered locally, but is reserved for a global account. If you own the global account, please ensure you have included a confirmation link. If you do not own the global account, this may preclude renaming. Requests for usurpation of global usernames with significant attachments on other projects must be made at
meta:Steward requests/Username changes.

I don't own the global account but I couldn't find any user with DOS username in global wiki.

I copy a question from meta: "The requested username may not meet the username policy in enwiki for being promotional based on the edits of the user in enwiki and the original request in enwiki". what are you saying?

I posted the question here because here there is more chance that I will get an answer from a Sysop who knows the policy from there.

Neriah: I'm unclear as to what question is being asked of me, but I'll try to respond to those I can see here. The enwiki username policy would prohibit the "DOS" username in this case due to the promotional aspect as mentioned above. If their name is Ahn and they work at DOS Labs (which seems likely since they indicated they founded it), they could be renamed to "Ahn at DOS Labs" or something similar. I don't know anything about the reserved username thing mentioned above. ···
