- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: As you can see, my oldname is a classic meaningless user name. It's hard to explain what does this mean, and it's actually concerned in a matter of privacy as well. I'd like to change it into Recollections. Because this is the neckname I've been using nowadays.
Thanks for moving my request. Then I realize I just misunderstood the meaning that Global User Account Merges are not possible, so I considered I cannot usurp the name Recollections globally. Now I'm confirmed that I want to usurp the name Recollections. I cordially appreciate your effort! --Mm86152535/☎ 09:09, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My current name might reveal personal info; the new name is also what I use on other sites. I have previously registered an account with that name, but I forgot that I had done that and registered this account later. I would like to usurp that old account as I am active on this account and the old one is unused. I will reply to this with the old account as proof that I have access to that account.

- Reason: I'd like to usurp this username, which has been only used in ptwiki (3 edits) and has been blocked indefinitely since 2015. Thank you very much in advance.
Comment: Alright. "MBT" is a vandalism-only account at pt.wiki, I see no reason to wait 1 month (default), but I prefer wait for another opinion of renamers before procedure. Rafael (stanglavine) msg 11:13, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

- New Username: UnladenSwallow (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'd like to have username UnladenSwallow (with a capital "S"), so I need to usurp Unladenswallow (Wikipedia does not allow creation of accounts that differ only by case). Unladenswallow made a single edit on en.wiki 12 years ago. I've just created my account, but I have been editing Wikipedia for years. For example, my recent dynamic IPs are 46.242.13.210 (76 edits from 8-Aug-2019 to 14-Aug-2019) and 46.242.12.78 (202 edits from 22-Aug-2019 until present). All these edits are mine. Thank you.
--UnladenEuropeanSwallow (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Done. I've bypassed the antispoof conflict and renamed you without usurping. Seems reasonable. Enjoy your account! --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:15, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm pretty sure that my original Somatos account was on en.wiki and when I started contributing to the it.wiki I understood (perhaps wrongly) that I had to make an account with a different name for issues related to the global accounts (which were new at the time). As I use the name somatos in my primary email and on all other web applications/platforms, I would like to usurp the username Somatos which only has 1 edit from 10 years ago.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi, when I subscribed I was a child and I used this name without thinking about it, but now I’d like, to tutelate my privacy, to not place my born year in my username and to use a more serious username. Ferdinando there’s on de.wikipedia but he has only 17 edits in 2009 and then he never used his account. Ferdinando~itwiki never used his account and I think he’ll never use. In alternative, the user Ferdi is ok. --Ferdi2005 (Posta) 15:51, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: DrakkarBCN is my original created account on 2009. But I don't remember my password, and there is neither a email registraded. So I can't Login.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I never really wanted the "1" on my username. French Wikipedia has a "Crossroads", but they have only edited their userpage and have not been back in 10 years. I think they could be usurped. Also it would be great if User:Crossroads1 at English could redirect to User:Crossroads if this works out, to preserve links to my userpage.--Crossroads1 (talk) 16:59, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
