  Not done, DB is in use on en.wiki, having over 5000 edits. It will not be usurped. Should you wish to be renamed, please choose a nick that is not in use; you can file a simple request through Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Savhñ 01:04, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Can you please explain why your signature is the same as the user's a couple of requests up?—cyberpower ChatHello! 11:57, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Probably because he copied the request from above and filled it in. Rename is in progress. Savhñ 11:59, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Please notify target user with the {{Usurpation requested}} template.—cyberpower ChatHello! 02:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
@ウグイス: Target user has made one edit on jawiki (and it is not vandalism), I recommend picking another username instead, since global renamers don't usurp accounts that have valid edits. Thanks, Pokéfan95 (talk) 10:05, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@Pokéfan95: I changed my Newname. ウグイス (talk) 12:45, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Global account "Sasanqua" doesn't exist, global renaming can be done now. Thanks, Pokéfan95 (talk) 12:56, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Global account SASANQUA does exist, and has a significant amount of contributions, including recent ones. Please choose a different name. Savhñ 22:19, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@ウグイス: The reason why you need to choose another name is that there is a similar name that exist, which is "SASANQUA". That account has made 200+ edits. Thanks, Pokéfan95 (talk) 00:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
@Pokéfan95: I changed my Newname. ウグイス (talk) 01:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
No global account exists for U-511, and there are no similar names of U-511. Global renaming can be done now. Pokéfan95 (talk) 04:06, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

--Laberkiste (talk) 20:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't think a username change should be enfroced because a POV of a single user, who probably doesn't even know why the user chose his username. Furthermore, it looks like the user hasn't even informed JosFritz about this request. --MGChecker (talk) 21:56, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
No, it is nonsens. I reject it at dewiki. --Itti (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC) bureaucrat at dewiki
  Not done Absolutely not. We do not forcibly rename established users. This request clearly crosses that line.—cyberpower ChatHello! 22:55, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Status:    Done
Just editing from other account to say I agree. Ish ishwar (talk) 18:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
A steward/sysadmin will need to handle this one. This goes beyond my scope.—cyberpower ChatHello! 05:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Ok. Do they come by here? Or, do I need post this request somewhere else? Ish ishwar (talk) 21:49, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ish ishwar:, please access this page while logged in to complete the unification of your SUL-account. Once you have done that, your account should be globally unified under "Ish ishwar"Savhñ 11:17, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
@Savh:, my password doesn't seem to work for that account now. Shouldn't the password for commons and en.wiki be the same now? Ish ishwar (talk) 14:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
No, that unattached account still possesses the password of the Ishwar~commonswiki account.—cyberpower ChatHello! 15:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Please also try any old pre-SUL password, or otherwise reset the password on commons through your e-mail. Savhñ 16:26, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ish ishwar: Please merge your account; otherwise you can't use the commons account. Savhñ 11:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
@Savh:, I can't if the password I'm supposed to be using is the same as my en.wiki account password. I can still login under Ishwar~commonswiki. Ish ishwar (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ish ishwar: In principle, it should be the same as your Ishwar~commonswiki password, but only to log in on Commons. Savhñ 17:20, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ish ishwar:, I'm glad you have merged your account. For future reference in other cases, we would appreciate if you could indicate what was causing the issue. Yours, Savhñ 09:55, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
@Savh:
What didn't work:
  1. I couldn't log in to commons with my (old) Ishwar username.
  2. I couldn't log in to commons with my Ish_ishwar username.
  3. Therefore, I couldn't use https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount since I wasn't logged in there.
What did work:
I note that there's some residue: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ish_ishwar_(usurped) . But, whatever.... Ish ishwar (talk) 20:42, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Auriel.kitsu@global

Status:    Not done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: auriel.kitsu → Auriel.kitsu
  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: I haven't been able to stand using Wikimedia services because after my explaining how an unfortunate and uncontrollable effect of autism is that things that seem out of order drive me crazy I requested my new username auriel.kitsu but instead was given Auriel.kitsu.

I need my local/global username completely in lower case as in auriel.kitsu

Thank you,

Auriel Kitsu (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:06, 14 May 2016 (UTC).

@Auriel.kitsu: Due to technical limitations, usernames must always start with an uppercase letter; thus a rename to "auriel.kitsu" is not possible. Sorry. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:40, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

@Vaselineeeeeeee: You can't change your username just for a single wiki. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:38, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Seriously? Okay forget it then, I withdraw.   Request withdrawnVaselineeeeeeee (talk) 16:43, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Even if you could, the requested username is already taken. So this request would have been declined anyways.—cyberpower ChatHello! 16:54, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
I knew it was taken in en.wiki, but it wasn't in it.wiki. But now I know you can't change it for only one wiki so it makes sense now that the name could not be taken across all wikis. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 19:27, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

The template is not working there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:X-Men --Kaptain Marvel (talk) 06:19, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
You have to substitute the template. The error message tells you how to do it.—cyberpower ChatHello! 06:23, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
