- Reason: Hello. I would like to change my username because I am using my real name. The username Neuraxis is currently registered on the English Wikipedia, it has approximately 2000 edits, and the account is banned indefinitely. Is this possible? Regards

- drive-by comment that might be useful: User:Neuraxis is still on my watchlist, so I noticed the usurp request and got curious. Note that User:DVMt changed his name to User:Neuraxis on 7 June 2014, and was sitebanned two weeks later. So there are not a lot of contributions that were actually made as Neuraxis. But on the other hand, User:Gautehuus might want to reconsider choosing a name with a pretty bad reputation on en.wiki. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:25, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Gautehuus: We can't fulfill this request. 2K edits is a lot. We can only usurp accounts that have made no significant contributions. It doesn't matter if they're sitebanned or not. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:56, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- @K6ka: My point above was that as DVMt he made 1954 contribs; as Neuraxis he made only 132 contribs. Don't know whether that affects the calculus or not. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: When users are renamed all of the edits they made are reattributed to the new name. I'm fairly certain someone reviewing this request would see the 2K edits as being made by Neuraxis even if he made most of them under another name. Also, the last 132 edits Neuraxis made seem significant to me, not to mention 132 is quite a lot — it doesn't take much to preclude usurpation. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 22:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

- Datestamp: 06:49, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- Reason: At the time that my account was registered, the name "Greggor" was taken. Now it seems "Greggor" is unused on English Wikipedia and the account formerly associated with that name has zero contributions. On Spanish Wikipedia, the account "Greggor" does have some contributions, but they are all from a single ten day period in November of 2010, six years ago. I would like to claim the vacant name largely because I do not wish my birthdate to be evident from my username. I am also concerned about being mixed up with other potential "Greggors" if/when I end up in a dialogue with other editors on Wikipedia. I have left a message both on the renamed user's talk page as well as on the Spanish Wikipedia user's talk page. Please help me if you can. Thank you very much for your time and attention!

- Reason: Before I begin this request, I do understand that new accounts are generally not usurpated. However, I have been an anon. editor for a long time at Wikipedia, and have finally gotten an account. Some of my most recent IP addresses of use can be seen here, here, here, here and here. According to this link, the username in which I am requesting to use has only one edit on another wiki, and the account was created almost two years ago. I use this username on many different sites, and is in fact my first name. It would be good if I could have this username; as I would put good use to it, unlike the first time it was created. Thank you.

- Reason: People often use lowercase letters when referring to me, and this would make it easier for them to ping me in conversations and such without mistakenly pinging the other account. The account with lowercases prior to my request only made one edit back in 2012 (which was not deemed helpful), and could probably be renamed to something like "Snuggums 2012" to distinguish him/her from me. That user is unlikely to return at this point.

Not done. Sorry, but we can't help you here. When usernames were unified across all Wikipedia projects, you lost out on the name because the person who used the name on the Spanish Wikipedia had more edits than you. We can't reverse that here, you'd need to ask at m:Steward requests/Username changes. Alternatively, you can pick a different name that hasn't been taken. WJBscribe (talk) 23:57, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

- My authority doesn't extend beyond the English Wikipedia, so I can't usurp an account that's based at the Spanish Wikipedia. That's why you need to ask a steward at m:Steward requests/Username changes. WJBscribe (talk) 00:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Time for a new leaf, something nice and simple. (incidentally, I left a couple of usurp requests on the editor's talk, but they don't transclude for some reason.)

- Datestamp: 10:43, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Reason: I simply am always having trouble finding that this name is usually taken. It is a Gamer tag that is starting to become a little synonymous with who I actually am as a person and I would like it to stay that way as most of the time the people that I come across, simply do not use it, or put it to any kind of use at all. Simply put, I want this name to mean something. I know I haven't had much time to edit anything but that was because I was enlisted into the military and never really had the time. Now that I am honorably discharged, I plan to contribute a lot to the Videogame community and the articles involving them, so I would like a name that people know me by. Unfortunately, this individual who I think is Russian, took the name and now I can't use it. If you could please help me get the name, I would greatly appreciate it.
