Your other Wikipedia account[edit]

You currently state on your user page that you have another Wikipedia account. Hopefully, per WP:Sockpuppetry, you are not still using it, unless it is for the few cases allowed by the WP:Sockpuppetry policy. Flyer22 (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not use the other account and barely have since 2011. The name of the account is my former name and I do not wish for everyone on Wikipedia to know my former name. If I could have the name of the old account changed or possibly the two accounts merged I would, but I believe this is not possible. If you know more about this, any such information or pointers are very welcome. MellowMurmur (talk) 09:18, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the reply. Flyer22 (talk) 09:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for usurpation[edit]

Hello, MellowMurmur. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations (or meta:SRUC) to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing: the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed: please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation. However, keep in mind that you may still be renamed during mw:SUL finalization.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. - Sandertams (talk | contributions) 12:27, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not object to being renamed. Sandertams is my old account. It has more edits, etc. And I would like to use that account instead of this new one which was made in error. MellowMurmur (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
