Simple rename requests

Status:    Done

--PinkMonkeyBird (talk) 18:37, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

@PinkMonkeyBird: Is this a request for courtesy vanishing? I looked over your edits and you don't seem to be eligible for that option. I can rename you to "JabaJavaJaka", or you can simply stop using this account, or you can choose to do both. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:23, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
@K6ka: Yeah, courtesy vanishing looks good, if that's just a rename then do that please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PinkMonkeyBird (talk)

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

Geordie.birch

Status:    Done

en.wikpedia.org indicates the account is no longer registered and had zero edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Geordie "User account 'Geordie' is not registered. This user has been renamed. The rename log is provided below for reference. 2015-04-21T10:46:12 Maintenance script (talk | contribs) renamed user Geordie (0 edits) to Geordie~enwiki (SUL finalization) Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Geordie. If in doubt, please verify that "Geordie" exists. Start the User:Geordie page. Search for "User:Geordie" in existing pages of namespace User.

Special:CentralAuth indicates there is an account with a single edit and the username "Geordie", on no-wikipedia.org: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=Geordie "Global account information Username: Geordie Registered: 2015-03-16T18:52:50 (2 years ago) Total edit count: 1 Number of attached accounts: 1 List of local accounts Local wiki Attached on Method Blocked Edit count Groups no.wikipedia.org 2015-03-16T18:52:50 home wiki(?) — 1"

Lastly, no.wikipedia.org indicates that the username "Geordie" is available (translated): https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruker:Geordie "User: Geordie Wikipedia has no article with this name.

  On hold until 1 October --Alaa :)..! 08:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Just a small note for clarification: the message "User: Geordie ... Wikipedia has no article with this name ..." means only that the user hasn't created their user page (yet), and doesn't imply availability. But that doesn't matter because the user is not active, so the name can be usurped in any case. — Yerpo Eh? 11:02, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Status:    Done

--Sanyi4 (talk) 22:40, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

A confirmation message can be found on the talk pages for each account on the corresponding wiki. // "Kontos~ltwiki" is apparently registered on more than one wiki; it should only be renamed at lt.wikipedia.org.

--Sanyi4 (talk) 00:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

It is a lot of manual work. You should expect that it will take up to a week time. Ruslik (talk) 20:46, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

علاء: I don't believe the account is eligible for usurpation--appears to have valid edits on fr.wikipedia. But to check with a renamer, I'm pinging علاء for discussion. It's been about seven days now--I think the user would like a response to his request for usurpation. Thanks. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:36, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Atcovi: for pinging.   Not done as mentioned here that user accounts may be usurped if it does not have any edits except deleted, but Mickey have valid edits in fr.wiki --Alaa :)..! 16:50, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

--Jdcounselling (talk) 02:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC) --Dr.khatmando (talk) 02:45, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Jdcounselling and Dr.khatmando: You realize that we cannot merge the two accounts, correct? What you are asking for right now would move the "Jdcounselling" username to "Dr.khatmando" and "Dr.khatmando" to something like "Dr.khatmando (usurped)". They would remain two separate user accounts. Please confirm whether this is what you intended. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 15:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Ks0stm Thank you for your guidance. Yes I note that two accounts cannot be merged. Before you action this. Can I confirm that the account Dr.khatmando would have at least the join Wikipedia date changed to that of the earlier account Jdcounselling, and anything thereafter I do on Wikipedia associated with Dr.Khatmando (of course if I was logged in under this account)? My apologies for being tedious. I've some mild dispraxia and dyslexia so I wan't to be sure I'm asking for something to be done in the "direction" I want in my mind, if that makes sense? Dr.khatmando (talk) 23:34, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
@Dr.khatmando and Jdcounselling: can you explain? --Alaa :)..! 16:06, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Sorry for my tardiness. I would like to know if after moving the account Jdcounselling to Dr.khatmando, the edit statistics and join date of the Jdcounselling account would be associated with the Dr.khatmando account. Cheers, Dr.khatmando (talk) 01:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
@Dr.khatmando: yes of course, the logs of Jdcounselling name well be moved to Dr.khatmando name, can we start the rename process now? --Alaa :)..! 08:46, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
My apologies Alaa for my tardiness. Yes please start the process. I do appreciate your patience and attention to my request. Warm regards Dr.khatmando (talk) 11:16, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
@Dr.khatmando: the vast majority of your live edits are on the Dr.khatmando account. You can simply redirect the user and talk pages of your Jdcounselling account to the pages of Dr.khatmando if you wish them to be associated. – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Kstorvik-I

Status:    Not done

During the single-user login renaming thing you did in 2015, my username on the Norwegian Wikipedia was changed first to "Kstorvik~nowiki" and then finalized to the global "Kstorvik-I". While the username from the English Wikipedia remained as "Kstorvik". The "Kstorvik" account exist, as I have already explained, but have only a single edit from 2007. I therefore request to usurp the "Kstorvik" username since it is not active, and btw; I think it may be mine anyway. It is a combination of the first letter in my given name and the whole of my surname. I think this must be very much like the request from Mr. Birch further up on this page, is it not? Thank-you for considering this request. --Kstorvik-I (talk) 10:59, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

The target account seems to have edits that are still available at zh.wikipedia, thus making the target account not eligible for usurpation. Is it possible you can chose another target account? Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 11:00, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
