Usurping a Commons username

Hello there. I have usurped this user name a few months ago from a hu.wiki user. I tried to upload a file but I have found out that this username is already in use on Wiki Commons by that very same hu.wiki user. Now that I already have usurped that hu.wiki username, can I usurp the Commons username as well? I consider myself an active editor of the community and found out that Commons user has five uploads, all in one day in 2009, and has been inactive since then. Is this possible? — Ekin^(talk·@) 13:00, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You'd have to ask at Commons, not here. Commons:Changing username/Usurp requests would be a good place to start. Anomie ⚔ 18:51, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. What about Simple Wikipedia usurpation requests? I could not find a page for that... — Ekin^(talk·@) 07:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"usrped" in the userpage heading

I've recently userped the username Wittylama (which I created years ago to redirect to my then username of Witty Lama). Now in my userpage in the heading is the word "(userped)". Will this stay there forever? Witty Lama 06:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent WP:USURP pages

I can't find the WP:USURP pages for these Wikipedias. Any ideas? — Ekin^(talk·@) 12:22, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
