- New Username: Maels (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: Target account hasn't made an edit since 2008 and I would like to start wikignoming with a sensible username. I have notified the user on nl wikipedia. --Maels~enwiki (talk) 02:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Maels~enwiki: The user has valid edit on commons for example. We don't usurp users with valid edits. Please pick up a new username. --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- The only valid edit was a copyright violation, which I have now deleted. I believe this means we can usurp the account. MBisanz talk 20:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- @MBisanz: You seen his nlwiki edits? Thanks for deleting the copyvio. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:58, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- I don't read Dutch, so I can't tell if they're significant. We should probably err against renaming. MBisanz talk 19:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just piping up to let you know I'm still around. Thank you for your time, people. --Maels~enwiki (talk) 13:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- I've changed my name, thanks again! --Maelses (talk) 02:22, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- Your new name schould be "Maelses"? So we have to usurp Special:CentralAuth/Maelses. Because merging accounts is not possible all edits will be moved to Maelses (usurped). --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:04, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- I used the tool provided here:Special:GlobalRenameRequest to successfully request a username change. I believe all edits are credited to me already and no further action is needed. --Maelses (talk) 12:51, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

- Reason: Personal request: I would like to change my bot name. --Maathavan (talk) 15:57, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to me a good idea to name your bot "TamilWikiBot", as it could be confused as part of the interface or something else. Savhñ 16:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. This makes it sound too official for Tamil Wikipedia.—cyberpower ChatHello! 18:11, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Houjou is only registered locally on ja.wiki with 0 edits and no other activity in any wiki project since April, 2013. I am unsure as to whether I have to notify the user and how to do so in this case; I tried using the "usurp" template on his user talk page, but it does not work as a template on ja.wiki. I wish to change my username to a simpler one that I use elsewhere online. Thank you! --Anywhere road (talk) 13:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Please, notify the user at their talk page on jawiki. Ruslik (talk) 20:19, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: cmatons → Cmatons
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: cmatons was the username that I took when I create my wikipedia account. Then, with this thing of the "username's unification" it change to Cmatons~enwiki. I like more "cmatons". I want it back please. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 190.115.38.132 (talk) 00:08 23 feb 2016 (UTC)
