Jamadnemana (talk) 16:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Please give this alleged change any grant. This is a terrible conspiracy and abuse against my personality. The desired change of name Mirzali orospu çocuğudur means "Mirzali is son of a bitch". This fact is probably out of Erdemaslancan, who acts with different names and he tries to ruining the Zazaki project with his ignorance. This is a very serious matter. Please check carefully before you judge probably wrong. He (Jamadnemana) has built this epithet (Mirzali orospu çocuğudur) in 27 different wikis for me. Best regards! -- Mirzali (talk) 14:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- I renamed the user again (to "Renameduser025"). Sorry that the actual request of the user to be renamed into an insult against you was granted! I'll delete any remaining pages with the username. --MF-W 17:18, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I prefer a shorter user name without numeric characters. I realize that user MB was created on the Polish Wikipedia four years ago, but the only activity has been one edit on the day the username was created, and that looks like a redirect to an alternate username. Since there has been no activity for years and the only edit was not to content, I would like to see if a usurption is possible. Thank You. Mb66w (talk) 02:25, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Clerk Note: Username MB is already in use. See CentralAuth.
Hello! Mb66w, please choose another username for you. Thanks, ~MMGJ~ (talk) 09:30, 27 June 2016 (UTC)- Comment the target username has only one global edit, which is to pl.wikipedia. However, it's quite a minor one [1] and the user doesn't appear to have any other activity. Omni Flames (talk) 09:59, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

G88keeper@global
(resuscitated from /2016-06)
I've just noticed that en:User:G88keeper, a long-term but infrequent editor, has a Commons account that didn't get unified - presumably he didn't see the notifications. It's now at c:User:G88keeper~commonswiki. Can this be rectified with RenameUser, or does it fall under "global user account merges"? Thanks. — Scott • talk 16:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

- Reason: `rdt` used to be my username on English Wikipedia since 2005. During the global account merges it was renamed to Rdt~enwiki. I would like it to be renamed to `RDT`. The user `RDT` has only a single edit on a talk page dating back to 2006 on German Wikipedia and no other edits on any of Wikipedia projects so the user does not seem to be active.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Many years ago, I created different accounts for en-wiki (Denizz) and tr-wiki (Bulgu). To the best of my knowledge, back then the different language Wikipedias were not integrated. I would like to use a single account and have access to (nearly) all my edits. You can discard the en edits of en:User:Bulgu. There is currently no tr edit for tr:Kullanıcı:Denizz (recently created, I wish I hadn't created it). Hopefully, it is not too complex. If necessary, I can login as Bulgu, and confirm that both are mine. As the final account, I slightly prefer Bulgu over Denizz, but both are OK. Thanks. Should I revert these edits? Should I think about alternatives for the final user name? Should I duplicate this request with the oldname and newname switched?
- What you request is possible, and choosing Bulgu as the "final" username is the easiest way because then only the enwiki accounts have to be renamed. In order to proceed, please confirm this request using the account Bulgu. --MF-W 17:33, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
