Sarimsak@global

Status:    Done
I have two Wikipedia accounts – one as Sarim, and another as Sarimsak. I firstly
registered as Sarim, but I observed after some time that I have forgotten my
password, and I did not know at that time how to recover it. Therefore I made a
new registration as Sarimsak. I would like to merge these two accounts by renaming
Sarim to Sarimsak, and in order to prove that both belong to me, I arranged that
both correspond to one and same e-mail address now.
P.S. As I was informed yesterday, my username Sarim will be changed in August 2015 anyway.

  • Confirmation difflink: [21] [22]

  • Reason: I have three accounts: a global/wikicommons account under the name smtology, which I just created, an en.wp account under the name stephaniet, and a fr.wp account under the name stephaniet. I received notices on both the en and fr accounts that I needed to change my user name. I'd like these two accounts to be unified, if possible under the global account smtology. Thank you!
Hi smtology, is the Wikimedia Commons account of "stephaniet" yours? If that is yours, simply go to Special:MergeAccount to make a global account named "stephaniet". If that account is not yours you will indeed need to rename. Since you were not logged in I do not know who made this request. Please log in to "smtology" and confirm this request. Also please log in to en.wiki "stephaniet" and frwiki "stephaniet" and confirm you want to be renamed by posting a reply. All the best, Taketa (talk) 05:04, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
  Done - Confirmation of id "smtology" was given on fr.wp talk page. During the rename I had to delete the global account for "smtology". Please go to Special:mergeAccount to recreate your global account, and merge all your accounts. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 19:41, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

There are no edits under the commons username, it is probably just easiest to start editing under your new SUL, and leave the old account alone.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:09, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Yurluk has +4k edits on Commons, and now s(he) wants to rename it to BlackHust. So we can do this. I have to leave now, but will look at it later, if someone else haven't. --Stryn (talk) 10:51, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Weird, I got all zeros earlier. I only see 134 edits for Commons, though plenty for for ruWP. We will need a confirmatory edit at c:User talk:Yurluk that this account should be moved to the new username. Please update your email address there if it doesn't match your global SUL.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:30, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

In this form it is too hard to achieve with confirmations on each account, so please log into each account amend the email address to be the appropriate target and from each wiki use the respective page Special:GlobalRenameRequest to request the renames. Doing it that way should avoid some significant complications.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:16, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

--95.86.111.161 11:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

It would be best if you tried to resolve the initial user account issues first. If you can please try to reset the passwords for the unattached accounts, then step those accounts through the merge process. If there is no email address attached then, unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do. At this point of time there is nothing that we can do with this request, we can only manage moves for users logged into their accounts. Once you have your accounts all sorted out, then please come back to us for further advice.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:37, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Beethoven@global

Status:    Not done

Thank you everyone who participated in this discussion. This is nothing personal, but please, (Spanish) Beethoven, try to understand that we, administrators, global renamers and stewards can't do anything for this. The user on the Danish Wikipedia has the global account, so we can't change it. You have to agree with it and choose another username. Unfortunately the things are like this, and continuing this never-ending discussion here won't change anything, thus archiving this. --Stryn (talk) 17:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

I won't accept ANY change in my user name made discriminately against my user rights and Wikimedia principles. I'm so dissappointed with the treatment I have recieved by the Wikimedia Foundation and since nobody here can help solving this unfair situation I'm gonna go for other ways to solve this situation properly. I know the community is with me and I'm grateful for the support recieved by them. --Beethoven 17:37, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Try to merge your accounts by setting same email or password on both of your accounts (en and it) and visiting it:Special:MergeAccount afterwards. Then you should be fine. Regards, Vogone (talk) 19:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
I tried that but for some reason it doesn't let me log in with my password, nor I receive a temporary one if I try to reset it.
There is no intervention that stewards can apply, it needs to be done by you once logged in. At this point the merging from each of the accounts need to be done by user.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:28, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: shaney → Shaney
  • Confirmation difflink: [31]
  • Previous renames: current user, target user
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: I was asked to change my username because it exists on some other wiki sites, so I used the interface yesterday to request to change my username globally to [redacted]. However, I regret that hasty decision (because I don't want to use my full name in such a public place) and started to do some more research into the situation to see if I could fix the problem. I see that the username "shaney" is being used on seven other sites, but edits have only been made on two of those sites (one on es.wikipedia.org, and one on ru.wikipedia.org). Since I have control of the username on fifteen sites and have made a total of 130 edits with it (not a huge number, but definitely bigger than 2!), I would like to request to usurp the name "shaney" rather than changing it to "shaneycrawford" if that is possible. Apologies for the trouble. (And sorry if I have not added this to the right place or provided the right information.)

--Shaney (talk) 16:42, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Shaney. Your account will not be renamed, you can ignore the message that you got. I already rejected the requested that you left using the interface yesterday. You already own the global account, so you can continue using it. Those unattached accounts (that are not yours) will be renamed. --Stryn (talk) 17:03, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Monto@global

Status:    Not done
I just tried to register for a Wikimedia account under "Monto" but found it "already existing", although the "Monto" contributions page shows the account is not registered. I also checked the global account at Special:CentralAuth/Monto and it appears a Japanese Wikipedia user somehow holds the account, but his activity did not begin until 2009 -- I do not know that user, and s/he has been inactive for almost four years.
Unless the message on my talk page is mistaken, I would very much appreciate the ability to retain my username. Your help appreciated.
--Monto~temp (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2015 (UTC) (or Monto)
"Monto" username is already taken. Please choose another username. --Stryn (talk) 06:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the prompt response, but I see various users requesting retaining/usurping of accounts, why can I not do the same? As I explained, I signed up for the account almost ten years ago and would appreciate the opportunity to ask for arbitration. Please clarify. --Monto~temp (talk) 07:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
In those other cases the global account has no live edits (or just few at maximum). The user on jawp has 16 live edits. The global account was chosen per the edit count at the time when you were notified and the registeration date have not been taken into account. Regards, --Stryn (talk) 07:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for sharing this information. Unfortunately, I had no idea this SUL project was under way and, thus, did not have an opportunity to claim the global account for "Monto" sooner.
Although I have limited edits on my English Wikipedia account, I have been active with hundreds of edits over the years, largely anonymously. I, unfortunately, had not logged in to "Monto" during those activities. Perhaps naively, I thought it was the quality of the edit that was important, not the who of it all. Had I known the number of historical edits would be taken into account for this project and that this SUL project had even existed, I would have gladly logged in under "Monto" more frequently. In light of this, is there any way I can request arbitration with the Japanese WP user? I see the Japanese WP user's account has been inactive for ~four years now, so perhaps it would mean less to her/him than to me.

If usurpation is not possible now, please delete the global account Nick_UA: it creates me problems when I move from enwiki or dewiki to other wikis (it has just created me automatically an account uk:Користувач:Nick UA although I do not need it).

There's no huge problem in creating such unused accounts. After SUL finalization is completed and stewards got access to the account merge tool, we can easily merge these two accounts.

Is it possible at least to delete the global account sulutil:Nick_UA in the meanwhile? I would not mind getting them renamed to something like Nick_UA~dewiki, as I will merge them anyway.

--N-soda (talk) 06:45, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

We can't access e-mail adresses of accounts, so to confirm you own soda@jawiki, you should log in and edit your userpage, adding "I am N-soda@meta", for instance. Please provide a link to this edit. Are any of the other Soda accounts yours? Savhñ 13:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick reply, Savhñ. I added the answer to my page https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85%E2%80%90%E4%BC%9A%E8%A9%B1:Soda#This_is_a_reply_to_the_question_about_username_changes_request .

toma@huwp

Status:    Not done

Hello dear stew's. :) I've been kindly asked to play a postman since the user (who's my friend) isn't experienced in wikipolitics, and my efforts to help him curiously were pretty unsuccessful. This is rather an information request about what to do.

Toma@huwp is an account from 2003 but he hasn't been very active since. He got a notice that his account name will be usurped and were "offered" to have anything else as a name, which is obviously not something he'd like to do. When he asked me about it I tried to see how the global account is standing and what I see is that Toma@trwp holds it. I failed, however, to figure out what was the basis that he got the account (the pages about global auth are pretty silent about the picking mthods and who's winning and why), or if he (at trwiki, along everyone else) would lose it either. I am not sure as well how to proceed: he oviously would like to keep his account name, which is his preudonym since forever. Apart from being older he seem to have the most edits throughout the projects (as of now).

Any useful advices? :) TIA. --grin ✎ 15:43, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, the user on trwp got the global account because (s)he had more edits at the time of clashing resolution. More can be read at Single User Login finalisation announcement/Schema announcement. Unfortunately he should choose another nick or otherwise he will be renamed to toma~huwiki. There are also more accounts who has Toma as their username and will be renamed. Unfortunately everyone can't get the same name :/ --Stryn (talk) 16:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
