User:Edmundkh to EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa
Please change my name as stated, and then leave me a message in Wikipedia. I've changed my name in many languages of Wikipedia. This helps in Unified login or Single login. Thanks a lot! --Edmund the King of the Woods! 14:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Imperial to Terra
Could my username be changed to Terra,I'm known as Terra on all wikimedia sites, and have stated that I'm known as Imperial on this one, Terra does exist on this site but I'm not sure whether I was the one who created it, but wondered if it would be possible to use the same name, on wikipedia in there changing username page it states that if a username already exist and the requested name hasn't made any known edits then it can be changed either through the Changing Username page or through the Usurpations request, if I had created the username Terra when I created my username Terra on all of the wikimedia then there shouldn't be a problem.

Usurpation: User:Dori
Same issue here, I'd like to request getting the account User:Dori which has no contributions here (not sure if I created it or someone else did, but there is no email address on the account). I have this account on all other wikis except two (this one and it.wikiversity.org). I am contributing mainly on commons:User:Dori now so if you need to contact me, please leave a message there.

Please change my username to Tinapay0114 so I could start with my projects at Wikiversity. Thanks.

User:DónalMcK -> User:Donek
Can you change my user name to "Donek" please?
 * Hi, the rename could be done. Just a question to avoid future trouble: there exists a user account with that name on the Polish Wikipedia . If that user didn't activate unified login I guess the rename would work. Before I try: you wanna go with that name ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 18:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes please, that would be great. If the name is taken, please use Dr. Donek instead. Thanks Erkan. DónalMcK 19:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Chemgym -> User:Ragimiri
Hello, please change my name to Ragimiri, I want use it for SUL. Thank you. --Chemgym 16:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello, just a question to avoid future trouble: there exists this user account on other wikimedia projects too, see (most active on Czech Wikipedia and commons). If that user didn't activate unified login I guess the rename would work. Before I try: you wanna go with that name ? Is it perhaps your user account ? If so, a confirmation on one of these wikis would be nice. Thx, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 16:37, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, will this be enough for confirmation? --Chemgym 16:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * When I try to rename it I get an error: The user "Ragimiri" already exists.
 * The account was just created today: 16:16, 19 June 2008 Ragimiri (Talk | contribs | block) Account created automatically
 * Could it be that you used it for login already ? If it is not you, then the renaming can not be done so easily. And usurpation, see below would be needed. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 16:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I probably forgot to logout on Czech Wikipedia and here system created account for me automatically, when I visit English Wikiversity. Well, I must live with two account. ;) Thank you for your time. --Chemgym 16:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Usurpation: User:rjclaudio
I create an account here as user:rjclaudio, but I forget my password and hadnt activated my email, so I cant log in as rjclaudio. I create this account, and now Im asking to rename my account User:rjclauddio to User:rjclaudio, if its possible. Rjclauddio 16:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello Rjclauddio,
 * since the email is not active for that WV account to reach the user: please insert Template:Usurpation requested by using on the user talk page to start the process.
 * Additional info:
 * wished user account exists since: 00:18, 29 March 2008
 * the same account is used on these wikimedia projects, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 17:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. Rjclauddio 23:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

How much it take to complete ? Rjclauddio 00:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Since the same wished user account got after the request here the sysop flag on beta, could you please identify on beta - logged in - that it is you who wrote this (e.g. by giving a link to here). This can eliminate problems in the future. Thx, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 00:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. Rjclauddio 13:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * edit on beta done
 * moved wished user account to: User:Rjclaudio old
 * While renaming User:Rjclauddio to User:Rjclaudio message appears: "Cannot rename user Rjclaudio as this username is reserved for a global account."
 * This means you have to go to this page to ask a steward to delete your SUL account, so you can resolve all your conflicts and then merge accounts again. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 01:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems this could work also without asking at meta. This morning at de.WV a user also completed an usurpation with similar case and it worked. So, how about you give it a try ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 06:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, its correct now. Could you Block the old account and page ? Rjclaudio 18:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there is no 100% proof that the old account was yours. A block could prevent the "owner" to participate effectively here at Wikiversity at next log in and cause negative feelings right at start. What could help in future is: set up from now on always your email. See also this about usurpation please. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 12:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, the User:Rjclaudio old you cant, but what about User:Rjclauddio ? It was me (cause I asked the usurpation), so this account you can block ? Rjclaudio 01:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done, I have also made a redirect to your actual user and talk page, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 17:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * This was the user's first and only edit, 30 minutes after setting up an account. Is this bona fide? Cormaggio talk 21:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * With news that Single User Login to be tested we might start getting more requests. Is there a way to check if the old or new login is in use on other projects?  --mikeu talk 23:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Terra -> User:Yun-Yuuzhan
Due to this discussion here w:User_talk:Yun-Yuuzhan on Wikipedia on my alternate talkpage - would it be possible if you could change my Terra username to Yun-Yuuzhan which used to be my primary account, I have returned to Wikipedia but I'm using my Yun-Yuuzhan account from now on - but wouldn't mind unifying my account on this site. Terra 15:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Terra, there was in the past a rename: see Changing username/Archive. Due to the recent dicussions, e.g. :
 * Candidates for Custodianship/Terra (full custodian)
 * User talk:Jtneill
 * I'd like to wait a little longer if that is ok with you ? Or is there an urgent case to proceed the renaming ? I will respond on another page about other things, so this edit here focuses on just the renaming. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 16:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Erkan. I'm perfectly fine waiting longer for the username change.  Terra  16:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd strongly recommend against changing your name at the current time. --McCormack 16:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That's fine by me, it would probably give me time to think about the name change on this site anyway. Terra  16:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I've had a thought about the name change - and I'm wanting to keep using this username, I have no wish for a name change so I wouldn't mind this request being cancelled. Terra  17:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅: ok, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 17:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Usurpation of George
Hmm, it looks like nobody has touched these in months, but I'll request it anyways. I'm requesting usurpation of George. That's my name on the English Wikipedia (as evidenced here), and I'm the SUL account holder. I have over 5000 edits there under the name George. The George account here was registered three years ago, and has zero edits. Thank you. Usurpring George 08:05, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
