- An account with edits cannot be usurped due to GFDL concerns. Were the edits restricted to their userspace, there'd be less problem, but all three of his edits have been to mainspace. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 19:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, if you rename the account "Racso" to "Racso-usurped" or something like that, its contributions will be moved to, so they will appear as made by "Racso-usurped". Therefore, the author is still the same, and there is no problem with the GFDL. --200.114.41.94 (talk) 21:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Es.Gusgus → Gusgus
[edit]- Current name: Es.Gusgus (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Gusgus (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: User Es.Gusgus asked me to fill in this request in her place due to her basic English. Apparently the user that previously used the nick Gusgus has now changed it to Gus Polly. Es.Gusgus wants to know if it's now possible to claim that nick. A further reason would be that she's a sysop at es:wiki (and the apcoming SUL trial will theoretically affect her). Thanks Raystorm (¿Sí?) 13:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Bleu_Bayou → Bleu__Bayou
[edit]- Current name: Bleu_Bayou (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- Requested name: Bleu__Bayou (other projects?) (rename user)
- Reason: My reason I would like to the rename, is because when I registered I forgot to include an email address and was going to do it later. Well when i tried to login in I forgot the password I had chosen. I would like to have the new name because it is close to my old one. I also don't want to create a new account so that someone can accuse me of being a sockpuppet. So since I haven't found a way to get into my old account. My world would be great if my raw watchlist could be transferred to Bleu__Bayou and me to begin using it. Unless an admin can help me get into my old account. I could even tell them most of the things on my watchlist (if they can see them) to know I am telling the truth. Either thing that could happen would be a blessing.

- What i was asking was basically about creating Bleu__Bayou (it won't let me because it is to close to Bleu_Bayou) then they could close Bleu_Bayou, also why is 208.62.125.140 coming up as my ip address? My ip address is <redacted> not 208.62.125.140208.62.125.140 (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- You may be using a proxy server or AOL, which would explain the IP. As for the new account, I can create it for you if you really want it, or you could continue with this request and, afterwards, an admin or bureaucrat can resurrect the account for you and send you a password. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 18:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- If you could create it for me, I would greatly appreciate it. But how can i communicate with you so that after you create it I can get the pw to it, that i can change the pw after you create it for me.208.62.125.140 (talk) 00:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Contact me on my talk page (it's unprotected), then add your email address in a hidden comment in another edit so that after I give you the password I can request that the edit with the email address be oversighted to keep spammers from getting to it. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 01:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Bad news: it's too similar and will not let me create it despite my admin access. I'm sorry. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 01:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's ok thanks for trying. I created this name, and added a comment to my page and talk page that this account is not a sock puppet. Do you think you might could go to it and comment on it as well, since you are an admin, so that no one tries to accuse me of being a sock puppet of Bleu_Bayou Thanks.

- You may be using a proxy server or AOL, which would explain the IP. As for the new account, I can create it for you if you really want it, or you could continue with this request and, afterwards, an admin or bureaucrat can resurrect the account for you and send you a password. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 18:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- What i was asking was basically about creating Bleu__Bayou (it won't let me because it is to close to Bleu_Bayou) then they could close Bleu_Bayou, also why is 208.62.125.140 coming up as my ip address? My ip address is <redacted> not 208.62.125.140208.62.125.140 (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- Non-clerk note: I don't know if comments are in order, but I suggest that this rename not be done. Note that this editor's talk now has a 'Retired' banner.

- Not done here - feel free to make a request at /Usurpations. WjBscribe 23:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- (More of a general point than anything specific to Cookie) Considering it is a request for renaming based on SUL (which means that the user may or may not dominate the English language), wouldn't it be better if we moved these requests to Usurpations ourselves? I'm pretty sure that we'll run into the case where a foreign admin won't know what the heck we mean with "Move it to CHU/U", or won't understand the instructions there.
