{{clerknote}} 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 [[WP:CSD#R1|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.

Revision as of 01:58, 20 July 2007
- This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist in the circumstances described below. If you wish to request a rename to a username that is not already taken, please do so at Wikipedia:Changing username.
This page permits users to request, and bureaucrats to consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing dormant account in order to permit another user to adopt the name. If you are interested in usurping another username, please be advised that the account must have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation. A request may also be rejected if it is determined that the requested account has made edits that were subsequently deleted.
Please do not request usurpation if your user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.
Process
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests may be rejected.
- Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries, as described above.
- Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (preferably of the form {{subst:usurpation requested}} ~~~~) notifying the user of your request.
- Please do not e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a bureaucrat or other designated user will do it.
- Copy and paste the following text into the bottom of the section on this page for today's date.
{{subst:usurp|Name_To_Usurp|Current_Name}} ~~~~
- Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change if you wish. Be sure you are logged in under your current username. Save the page.
- If the owner of the target account does not object within seven days, a bureaucrat will fulfill your request. Mark the date, so you will not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.
Instructions to bureaucrats
- Accounts should be renamed to "Username (usurped)" -- this is intuitive and is unlikely ever to be a desired account name. The links labeled '1' and '2' will automatically fill out the user renaming interface with the proper information.
- If a user consents to have his account usurped, the request may be fulfilled immediately, rather than after the full waiting period.
- Mark completed requests with {{done}} and rejected requests with {{not done}}. A bot will archive them.

- For bureaucrat use: Email target username; (1); (2)
Kylohk 10:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC) - The reason is that A is the first letter of my first name. Also, after some discussion on the talk page here, User:Deskana informed me that if I write out the request, it may be considered.--Kylohk 10:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note:
- – FPT 11:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

- Note. Just to confirm that A has no deleted contribs. The blog log entry will not be moved during usurpation. Kylohk, could you confirm that you are willing to usurp this account even though you will inherit it s block log. WjBscribe 14:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- I guess I will USURP the account, since I don't think it will make me look bad if I explained it carefully in the future.--Kylohk 02:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note. Just to confirm that A has no deleted contribs. The blog log entry will not be moved during usurpation. Kylohk, could you confirm that you are willing to usurp this account even though you will inherit it s block log. WjBscribe 14:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Consensus has not yet been reached on whether this username can be usurped as it has an entry in the block log. FPT 11:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- The crat who considers this request should note the further discussion on the talkpage, including the possibility of deleted edits prior to September 2006 and the existence of the similarly named User:А. WjBscribe 03:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note: I have left a message on User talk:Brian Hickey to inform him of the situation. --Chris g 03:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

SeekTruth247 ← Seektruth247
- Current username: Seektruth247 (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Target username: SeekTruth247 (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
- Datestamp: 12:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- For bureaucrat use: Email target username; (1); (2)
Seektruth247 12:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC) - Reason was to just change the casing of the letter "t" in the user name of the account that I created.
- Note:
– Fpt 15:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Clerk note: While usurpation is usually reserved for established accounts, the fact that user creation log shows these accounts were created minutes appart is strong evidence that they were created by the same person - as such a bureaucrat may still be willing to perform this usurpation. WjBscribe 21:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Not done -- if the accounts were created by the same person, just use the one with the correct casing. You don't have any contributions of note, so it doesn't really matter. Andre (talk) 23:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: The target username made two spam edits in September 2004 as such it falls outside the community-agreed usurpation policy. A bureaucrat may be willing to make an exception given the edits were reverted and have no GFDL consequences. WjBscribe 19:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

- Note to Crats - I'm going to be editing from a college campus come this fall and wanted to create an account for me to use on public computers without fear of my nice shiny admin buttons being turned to the Dark Side. I immediately thought of the username The Doctor and was dismayed to discover it had been taken. Seeing as how it's not in use and never has been, I was hoping nobody would mind if I grabbed it.
