Renamer note: The username Amine Sahraoui (talk · contribs) has made no contributions to the project aside from this edit, or has only a few minor contributions. There is no edit history to preserve, it's preferable to just create a new account. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:09, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

J. Geerink → Ј. Gееriոk

- Reason: I don't want my Wikipedia stuff to appear when people type my name (initial + last name) into Google (or other search engine). Currently, if we put quotes around it, it pops right up :( Even without, just not as many. My new name doesn't pass the AntiSpoof check, however, I don't think anyone has a username identical to mine (well, except for the one I currently have), nor are there any "famous" users worth impersonating, so it shouldn't matter.

- Not done As per https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/AntiSpoof/+/refs/heads/master/i18n/en.json#26, usernames cannot include characters from multiple writing systems. Your username contains a mix of scripts: Ј (Cyrillic), е (Cyrillic), and ո (Armenian), while the rest are Latin characters. Please use a single script. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- But is it actually not possible to change it via this link, or is it just an automated check to filter out names that are likely to impersonate other/"famous" Wikipedia users? (Mine isn't) You'd think that human renamers could override that restriction, right? Lines 28 through 31 certainly indicate so:
"antispoof-ignore": "Ignore spoofing checks", "antispoof-ignore-help": "Allows users with sufficient privileges to create an account even if its name is similar to that of an existing account.", "action-override-antispoof": "override the spoofing checks", "right-override-antispoof": "Override the spoofing checks"
- The only account at risk of being impersonated would be... my own. By myself.
I'm sure the exceptions exist for a reason... J. Geerink (talk) 21:06, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

UsurpationAccount → J. Geerink
[edit]
- Current name: UsurpationAccount (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: J. Geerink (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- AntiSpoof: antispoof check
- For global renamer: rename user
- Datestamp: 11:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: I'd like to take my old username as a WP:DOPP. I can even add a redirect #REDIRECT User: Ј. Gееriոk to this (soon to be User: J. Geerink) account. If you'd like proof and/or clarification I'll be glad to provide more information!
PS The reason why I'm here, and not in WP:USURPNAME is because: a: it technically isn't usurpation, and b: also doesn't meet said requirements.
Specifically:
"The account you want to usurp should have no edits"
and:
"Please do not request usurpation of another account if your own user account is less than several months old, or barely used."
But it's my own account, so sould still fall under WP:DOPP. UsurpationAccount (talk) 11:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Robot clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 11:30, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
