Username "Vera de Kok" blocked
[edit]Hey there. I'm trying to register the username "Vera de Kok", but even though it's not showing up as a registered the registration form says it's already in use. It is in a sense: I've been relabeling the attribution in the photographs I've uploaded with this account to my full name for a long time now. I'm registering the new account because in this new year, I'm trying to add to my income by doing comissioned portrait photography. Vera (talk) 11:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Have you tried using your admin account to create the account under that username? Go via Special:CreateAccount and click the first checkbox. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 12:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Then I get a "Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name" message. But when you go to User:Vera de Kok it says it isn't in use. It's fairly misterious. Vera (talk) 15:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have no idea. Krd 15:21, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @1Veertje: m:User:Perhelion/userstatus says the account had 4 edits here and was registered here "Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 4:13:48 AM (7 years, 1 month, 25 days, 6 hours and 6 minutes ago = 2612 days)". — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- That can't have been me. It's not showing up as registered now. I would really like to use it as a second account. Vera (talk) 15:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- It doesn't show up on CentralAuth either. I suppose it could have existed prior to that but then this shows me that the account had a last log action here on 2017-11-07 09:13. See Special:Contributions/Vera de Kok. Regards, Aafi (talk) 15:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- So my idea would be create an account with a different username and then request an account rename to this one, if you want to get hold of this. Regards, Aafi (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ideally the account exists but can't be seen. ─ Aafī on Mobile (talk) 16:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've requested a name change from the account "Vera de Kok1" to "Vera de Kok 1" with the comment that I want the figure removed and a reference to this discussion. Vera (talk) 16:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- doesn't it again add number 1? I guess there is a mistake. Regards, Aafi (talk) 16:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I was hoping the form isn't read by a human because it refused to accept "Vera de Kok" as a new username for the same reason I wasn't able to register it directly Vera (talk) 16:34, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @1Veertje: Okay, I'd want to close it here, and also decline the accidental rename request. You'd need to file an usurpation request at meta:SRUC to get hold of the username at Vera de Kok. Works for you? The account at that username was once globally-suppressed, the reason why you are getting into these conflicts. Let me know if you'd prefer making a usurpation request or getting the account renamed to Vera de Kok 1? Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes this thread can be archived. Vera (talk) 17:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
