Not done Sounds like you're trying to circumvent a block by getting a username change. There are two problems with that: 1) it doesn't work; blocks are applied to accounts and not usernames, so you'd still be blocked if you got renamed; and 2) we are obviously not going to help you evade a local block. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:32, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

@TN003232: You were just renamed today. Why are you requesting another rename so soon? Also, please be sure to sign your posts with your current name, not the one that you wish to use. Nihlus 02:59, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Comment Comment: @TN003232:, Your current user-name (TN003232) is not a "Real name", so there is no reason for changing it. Thanks. --Dr-Taher (talk) 01:34, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

I plan on declining this, Stanglavine. @Ehime: You were just renamed three months ago, which also happened to be a usurpation. Why are you making another request so soon? Nihlus 09:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
(Edit conflict.) I am also agree with Nihlus. Additionally could you please elaborate more on your reason for renaming that how your current username isn't friendly? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:05, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, my reason is simply above. I’m sorry to bother you stewards and renamers. It’s my last request, I shall not to ask for a usurpation again. —Ehime (talk) 10:23, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Not done Renames and usurpations are not to be taken lightly. Request this in three months and it might be approved then as your final rename. Nihlus 07:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

--―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 01:31, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

That username is not eligible for usurpation, is already taken by other user and has many (+20000!) edits, and the edits of User:M in dawiki are valid, so, I think you should choose another name. --Stïnger （会話） 01:45, 4 February 2019 (UTC).

1997kB & TonyBallioni is User:MJL available? That could also work, and it is my second choice. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 15:21, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Giovanny Garciliano

Status:    Not done

--Giovanni Alfredo Garciliano Diaz (talk) 02:39, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

@Giovanni Alfredo Garciliano Diaz: Pursuant to es:Wikipedia:Política de bots, I think the best course of action would be do include the word "bot" in your bot's name. This was suggested at the only failed authorization it has at es:Wikipedia:Bot/Autorizaciones/Archivo/2018#Giovanny_Garciliano. Nihlus 02:56, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Nihlus, it's recommended, but not mandatory. In eswiki there are a few bots that doesn't have the string "bot" in their usernames: es:User:Otitis, es:User:Grillitus or es:User:Elvisor. --Giovanni Alfredo Garciliano Diaz (talk) 03:21, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
@Cookie: It appears that you are the owner of the Anna account. Would you object to its usurpation by this user? Nihlus 03:31, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Well, yes, it might be conflictive because my real name is Anna and my signature is Anna (Cookie) in all of the projects, apart from here. Anna (talk) 04:33, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Not done @Giovanni Alfredo Garciliano Diaz: Since the account owner objects the usurpation, please choose another username and file a new request. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:38, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

RM21

Status:    Done
I understand merges are not possible, but is it possible to change my old account back to RM21?? By renaming the new account, and maybe assigning the new, single edit to it?? A bit like usurping the old account.
If you can let me know. Many thanks. RM21 (talk) 02:02, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
If the new account has to have a new name, can I suggest RM21~?? Thanks again. (RM21 talk) 02:05, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

@علاء: I don't think this was done right. As I was understanding it, he was wanting RM21 → RM21~ and then RM21~commonswiki → RM21. Additionally, they both now show that they are not attached to their respective accounts. That might be related to T215107 though. Nihlus 13:15, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello @Nihlus: as I see that the user want:
  • RM21~commonswiki edits on commons only to RM21
  • RM21 edits on commons only to RM21~commonswiki
  • then RM21~commonswiki to RM21~
and ofc it'll not be attached until the user enter commons through both accounts or enter Special:MergeAccount. @1997kB: Can you confirm my understanding? --Alaa :)..! 13:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Yeah I think all they want is the old edits from that ~commonswiki account, which will be completed once the go to that merge page. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:37, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
I was unaware that we were still doing any sort of local merges or swaps. At this point though, I am not sure which edits began where since c:Special:Log/علاء is a tad confusing. I'll just wait for confirmation from the user to make sure it worked. Nihlus 13:29, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
That’s worked great, thanks. (RM21 (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2019 (UTC))
@RM21: Could you please do the same with RM21~ account also as it still shows unattached. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 18:58, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
