Hi GethN7, I currently use the username "Davey2010" across all Wikimedia Projects and via https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Stewards%27_noticeboard#Checkuser_Request I've found out my username is seemingly being used on most non-wikimedia wikis and I've since found out their french userpage includes my trademark blue and orange font so they're clearly impersonating me,

Was there any way I can gain control of the username ? (such as them being renamed to a random username and then me re-registering the username?,

As can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Davey2010 I have a brilliant track record and have never vandalised on any project since having the account (and never would) - Given this project and the Miraheze one both appear under "Davey2010" on Google quite rightfully anyone would assume the user is me when it obviously isn't,

Many thanks,

Dave
