Global requests
EricKaplan67@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: EricKaplan67 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: HammerHead67 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I prefer a different user name. EricKaplan67 (talk) 05:32, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
RoyTek@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: RoyTek (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: R9109 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Contains my first and last name. I'm underage and this makes me feel uncomfortable. I would much appreciate it if you could change it. Thanks in advance, Roy 21:52, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Charmedmaniak@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Charmedmaniak (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Themanwithpiercingeyes (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: 'Charmedniak' can be translated as 'the one who has an obsession with Charmed TV series' into English. It's appropriate for a fanpage, not Wikipedia.
--Charmedmaniak (talk) 23:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Done. –Ejs-80 08:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Avono@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Avono (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Krano (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [1]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I request a name change due to personal information in my username. The Target account has two accounts with zero edits. --Avono (talk) 14:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Bergen Teknologioverføring@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Bergen Teknologioverføring (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Sunniva Ullavik Erstad (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [https:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Request of new name due to the use of a company name.

StreamingMeeMee@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: StreamingMeeMee (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: StreamingMeeMee! (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I've just received an email informing me that my username is not globally unique. It is very likely that I registered this same name under a different Wiki with a different email address. I would strongly prefer to have the original name; Is there some way for me to figure out which other wiki I may have registered that name with? Thanks.
--StreamingMeeMee (talk) 00:38, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- Your account is global now. Where did you get the message you need to rename ? 62.0.53.15 06:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- Your account is now global, see Special:CentralAuth/StreamingMeeMee. You can ignore the message that you got. Regards, --Stryn (talk) 09:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Løde@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Løde (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Løde (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I got a comment on my discussion page that my username would change (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overleg_gebruiker:L%C3%B8de#Uw_gebruikersnaam_wordt_gewijzigd). However, when I use the CentralAuth tool (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=L%C3%B8de) it says I already have the global account (the merge tool, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount, also mentions this). There is one thing though, the message mentions my name as 'Lode' where my name is 'Løde'. There is another user indeed using 'Lode' as a username (https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=Lode) which seems to be requested just now. I'd love to know what will actually happen (does my name get renamed or not)? And/or whether I really have the/a global account?
- You already have a global account, so you can ignore the message you got. It was sent due a bug in the script. Stryn (talk) 12:55, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Criacow@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Criacow (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Criacow (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [2] and [3]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I am Criacow on both sites and would like them merged rather than having one renamed and having to maintain two separate logins. The emails on both match. Thanks!
Suttkus@global
- Wiki: en.wikiquote.org.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Confirmation difflink: [4]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I hope I'm doing this correctly, I have no idea. The Suttkus username from Wikipedia (now global, I think) should be combined with the Suttkus usernames from wikitionary and wikiquote. We're the same person. Do I need to do separate requests?
- Already done by yourself (or the system), see Special:CentralAuth/Suttkus. Regards, --Stryn (talk) 18:18, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Giorgette Mano@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Giorgette Mano (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Γεωργία Μανωλοπούλου (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [5]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I wish to use my real name
--Giorgette Mano (talk) 18:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Lixxx235@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Lixxx235 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: L235 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: Special:Diff/11631726
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: While you do so, could you also rename the current User:L235, which is a doppelganger that I own, to User:Lixxx235? (confirm) Thanks!
L235 (talk) enwiki 22:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
- Done - Since I switched the names, any links to your accounts are now pointing to the wrong account. Please check that there are no errors in autographs etc. All the best, Taketa (talk) 08:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Celeri@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Celeri (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Celeri (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [6]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hello, I have created the Celeri account several years ago on the .fr and the .en domains and I would really like to keep it, since "Celeri" is the nickname I use everywhere on the internet. The Login Unification page tells me that there is 2 other users named "Celeri" in the .ru and .it domains but these users do not even have a personnalized user page, so I guess they are not really using their account. Thanks very much in advance for hearing my request !
- Hi Celeri, since you are the global accountholder you will not be effected by the SUL finalisation. If you wait until the end of April the other two accounts that do not belong to you will automatically be renamed and you will have the completed SUL account. So please wait until the end of April. No action needed. All the best, Taketa (talk) 07:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

- Confirmation difflink: [7]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

Sarimsak@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Sarim (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Sarimsak (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason:
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.
Napishtim@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Napishtim (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Napish (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [19]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I hold 4 accounts under the name Napishtim, but the user with the same name from jp.wp has been converted to global due to his more numerous contributions. I wish to unify my several accounts in order to facilitate my contributor activities across the wiki projects. The username Napish is available and therefore qualifies for a global status. The projects of my 4 accounts are:
- fr.wp
- en.wp
- fr.wiktionary
- commons
Many thanks, --14.162.14.87 13:57, 18 March 2015 (UTC) --14.162.14.87 13:57, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- Is there a technical reason why the necessary renamings haven't been done yet ? There is a confirmation from the logged account there and all four accounts are clearly marked on their user page as belonging to the same user. Regards, Esprit Fugace (talk) 08:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Done, Napish: please go to fr:Special:MergeAccount while logged in to merge your accounts. --Stryn (talk) 13:55, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Not_Sure@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Not Sure (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Not Sure (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This is strange -- I had changed my user name to "Not Sure" for a global unified login in February 2013. I don't understand why I got a message that my account would be renamed?
- Not done. Your account is already global, see Special:CentralAuth/Not_Sure. It will not be renamed. You can ignore the message. --Stryn (talk) 13:46, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Kjell@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Kjell3 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Kjell (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [20]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I've had 'Kjell' on en.wikipedia for a while, but it looks like someone else just signed up and got the global account. I don't care if I usurp them or Kjell@en.wikipedia becomes Kjell3@global, I just want to be able to log in. I entered text on both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kjell and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Kjell3, and the emails on those accounts match.
- Done, your global account is now "Kjell3", as "Kjell" was already reserved for another user. Regards, --Stryn (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Moonkey@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Moonkey (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: MoonkeyW (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I had the username Moonkey in several wikimedia projects for almost a decade now. However, there was a similar username in sv.wikipedia.org with more edits than me, thus he was selected as the main account and I have to change my username (to MoonkeyW). This other account has not been used since 2008, while I keep doing edits from time to time. If it is possible I'd like to keep my old username Moonkey (instead of MoonkeyW) since I'm more active than the other user. If it is not possible, I'd like to have transfered my previous accounts and history to the new one.
- Hi Moonkey, since the account on sv.wikipedia was inactive and blocked indef, I have deleted the global account (which was automatically added by the system last week) and you can go to special:MergeAccount to merge your account. All the best, Taketa (talk) 04:26, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: smtology → Smtology
- Confirmation difflink: [21] [22]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- 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)

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.

Dear Stewards, first of all take into account English is not my first language (it's my 3rd actually).
--83.40.51.2 19:40, 20 March 2015 (UTC) }}
Well if the reason that the Danish user has the right to use my global account is because he registered a global account and I didn't, I think it's actually a more unfair situation than what I thought... that means anyone could have registered a Beethoven global account regardless of the current local existing wiki users and just "steal" their user names. But what's more important here is I don't remember have recieved any kind of warning or message telling me to unify my account to make tit global, nobody tell me that in any of my 6 wiki Discussion pages nor in my email... so how in the world I could have known that afer 10 years using my Beethoven I should have registered it another time to create a "global account"? It's impossible I could have done that if nobody told me. It's obvious. But what's more curious/interesting here is that actually the Danish user recieved a private missage in his Discussion page telling him to register to have a global account. (You can check it here in his discussion page: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugerdiskussion:Beethoven#Global_konto). He recieved that private missage in 24 sep 2014, 23:13 and according to the Global account system he registered the Global account in 25 sep 2014. It's totally clear that the reason because he registered the global account (and I didn't) is because he recieved a message telling him to do it. So basically he recieved information I didn't had, putting me in an unfair and discriminatory situation. I'm sorry but I can't accept this situation. When you say "I don't think we can change this without being unfair to the other person" I can't be more disagree. I think that after all the reasons I have explained the more fair solution would actually be changing the Danish "Beethoven" global user to me. This would be the solution that would fit more fairness consequences and results. Not doing anything at all and letting the situation as it is now is what makes it more unfair for all. --Beethoven 13:59, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
I understand you can't do anything Taketa because the rules tell you so, and I respect that. Therefore I would like to talk to a higher rank/status Administrator or some WMF staff so my problem can be solved properly. I'm sure WMF staff won't be tied by the system and can apply a rational human solution to an unfair situation. I believe my case represents an obvious mistake made by the system that must be solved manually to prevent this unfair situation remaining. I won't accept any change in my user name based on a discriminatory and unfair system. Gonna write a quick summary of the case to refresh it all: Summary of my case: according to the Wikimedia system a Danish Beethoven user with a single Danish Wikipedia account registered in 2011, can have the right to use my 6 Beethoven accounts of the Spanish, Catalan and German Wikipedias, the Catalan Wikiquote, the Spanish Wiktionary and the Commons registered in 2005. Both users have almost the same number of contributions. How is this even possible? --Beethoven 02:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
First of all let me say that the Danish user just said he is going to accept a change made in his global acount in favour to me (Danish user message about the case). Secondly as I said hundreds of times I'm NOT going to accept any change in my user name made by an unfare and discriminatory system, so please stop asking me to choose a new user name and make that question to the danish user or to anyone, but not to me. Keegan (WMF) said: "You say that there is a fair way to do this, and that is to give you the account. That is not fair to everyone, that is only fair to you, and that's not how fair works" and as a 4 year Law student can tell you that's not true in my opinion. There's always a fair solution in ANY case. In real life cases tribunals and judges use the techcnique of "rights deliberation" (in spanish ponderación de derechos) to apply the fairness solution in one case where two-parts rights collide. In my case I insist that the fairness solution and the solution where less damage is made is giving me the use of my global account. I have explained myselg lots of times with obvious facts, and I'm starting to get support of the community. If it's necessary I'm going to make public my case contacting to all the Administratos of Spanish and Catalan Wikipedias that I have contact with, I'm gonna make a reddit post explaining it all or via Facebook... But I didn't and don't want to make it public so hard because I firmly believe the Wikimedia image will be damaged because of this attitude to my case, so I'm still trying to solve here using the Wikipedia tools. Until now I have not hear any rational explanation of why the Danish user has the right to have my account. By telling me he has the right because he registered a global account and you didn't is not valid, because anyone could have registered a global account and steal my Beethoven username. And as I said nobody informed me about having to register a global account, it's desproportionate that after 10 years using the same username Im forced to change it without any explanation and contest possibility and 0 information about the existence of a global account.
The answer to my question can't be because "he registered a global account and you didn't", becuase as I said he was told to do it in his discussion page (he registered the day after he was told to do it) and I didn't. And because this answer can be applyed to anyone that register a global account and steals/usurps identity. I want a rational explanation, and as I know there is no rational explanation here because is clear to anyone eyes is unfair, I want the proper solution. You can say: you have the right to use global account since you have been colaborating for 10 years and the Danish user only 4. You can say I have the right because I have been working in 6 different Wikimedia projects and the Danish user only 1. You can say I have the right because the Danish user has accepted a change in his user account, and I'm not accepting a change. But what can you say in favour (rational response) of the Danish user?: the Danish user writes more interesting articles than you? the Danish user looks more nice person than you? seriously I'm trying to get an answer that is rational. --Beethoven 14:57, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

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)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- 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.)
- 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)

- New Username: Monto (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [42]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: In light of the Wikimedia unification project, I would like to request to retain my username (Monto) as it has been used by me at English Wikipedia since 2006.
- 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)
- 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. Thank you for your consideration ----Monto~temp (talk) 19:00, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: I request to usurp user Angusta on fr.wikipedia.org and zh.wikipedia.org in order to finish unification of the global account. As far as I can see, neither has any edits at all. The fr account has neither user page nor talk page. The zh account has no user page and a talk page automatically generated in 2006 and unchanged since (except for a bot change in 2008). I have no Chinese so cannot contact the zh user even if he/she exists; I have some French but not sure whether contact is needed or would work in the circumstances. Thanks.

- Reason: Please excuse me if I filled out the template incorrectly. When I registered my bot account Cgtbot on dawiki in 2012 I got locked out of it because I forgot to add an e-mail address to the account and I lost the password, which I thought I had written down but had not, so I had a bureaucrat rename the original Cgtbot account to da:User:CgtbotFejl ("CgtbotError"), and I then created a new account with the name "Cgtbot" on dawiki. Unfortunately, I appear to have accidentially registered the original Cgtbot account on enwiki too, and I just got a message on my bot talk page on dawiki that the dawiki account will be renamed. I would like to have the Cgtbot@enwiki account renamed (CgtbotError is just a suggestion, I don't care what you call it), so the current Cgtbot@dawiki account can become the global Cgtbot account.

- Confirmation difflink: [69]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to keep my current username, which is User:Mark L MacDonald; but since the beginning I've been using "Mark M" as my signature. So to avoid confusion I'd like en:User:Mark M to redirect to my userpage (which is does on en.wiki). But I've also been advised that I should usurp that account, since it has a couple old edits on it that weren't mine. So I created en:User:Mark Lewis MacDonald to usurp en:User:Mark M. I asked to do this on en.wiki, but apparently there are a few edits on ru.wiki as well that aren't mine.. hence my request here. I hope that makes sense. Thanks,
- I do not understand why you created Mark Lewis MacDonald account. This does not make any sense. Ruslik (talk) 20:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Let me try again. I want to usurp User:Mark M globally, because I want control of that account so I can use it as a doppelganger account, and redirect to my main account. I still want my main account to be User:Mark L MacDonald. So I don't want my main account to usurp User:Mark M, right? So I created another account that can usurp User:Mark M. Yes? Let me know if that's still not clear. I don't know a simpler way to achieve what I want; if you do, please let me know. Mark M (talk) 17:25, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. From what I can see, the account Mark_M no longer exists; I suppose I am now expected to create it? Unfortunately when I try to create that account it says it is "too similar" to the account User:MarkM.. which I hadn't noticed before. That's fine with me, as long as nobody will be able to create the account User:Mark M now? Mark M (talk) 09:06, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Please usurp the unattached NickK accounts in the following wikis:
- enwiki
- dewiki
- dewikibooks
and rename Nick UA accounts in these wikis to NickK (except dewikibooks where I have no account so far). The owner of these three NickK accounts to be usurped, de:Benutzer:NickK stated that he does not want to have a SUL.
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. Meanwhile, we won't usurp accounts that were notified by the WMF of the upcoming rename. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:52, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: The problem is that I have to avoid editing enwiki/dewiki now, because for each edit there I have to log out as NickK, log in as Nick_UA, log out as Nick_UA and login again as NickK elsewhere. 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.

- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: reinhard16 → Reinhard16
- Confirmation difflink: [71]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I have got the account reinhard16 both as a global account and as a local eowiki account. I have now received the information that the latter is going to be changed because of a conflict with an account with the same name. As I own both, I request not to change the name but to merge the two accounts.

I've just found the special page to do this merge myself and did it successfully. So no more action necessary. --Reinhard16 (talk) 18:30, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
M132T003C@dewiki
- Wiki: de.wikipedia.org.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: M132T003C (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: MTC (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [72]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Somewhat more complicated than a simple name change. I hold the global account “MTC”, dewiki is the only wiki where I don’t own the “MTC” account. The contributions list for the dewiki user “MTC” displays nine contributions; the earliest two are from the actual owner of that account, the other seven are edits I made on the English Wikipedia before the pages were transwikied there. In 2008 I asked to usurp that account, but the local renaming rules prevented it, and the request was placed on a list of requests that couldn’t be fulfilled without a policy change. Now that the SUL finalization has begun, they’ve placed a notice there saying that such requests should now be handled here. If at all possible, I would like the edits from the transwikied pages (but obviously not the two from the original owner of that account), as well as my edits as “M132T003C”, to be attributed to my “MTC” account by the end of the SUL finalization process.
The SUL finalization process is also causing a few scattered zero‐edit M132T003C accounts to appear attached to my newly globalized account from dewiki, I’d guess that those will be removed during the process anyway, but it seems a good idea to mention it regardless. --MTC (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
ΜΤΚ@elwiki
- Wiki: el.wikipedia.org.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: ΜΤΚ (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: MTC (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [73]
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This is more of a merge request. “ΜΤΚ” was my original elwiki account, then I created the MTC account in order to claim some edits of mine that had been transwikied (I wanted to avoid a situation like the dewiki one), and then started using that instead. Now that the SUL process is being finalized, it seems like a good idea to ask for them to be merged. In the interest of avoiding confusion, I should point out that my “ΜΤΚ” account is written with Greek letters; there is an unrelated Bulgarian user with the name “MTK” in Latin letters.
As with the above request, the SUL finalization process is also causing a few scattered zero‐edit ΜΤΚ accounts to appear attached to my newly globalized account from elwiki, I’d guess that those will be removed during the process anyway, but it seems a good idea to mention it regardless. --MTC (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
