You may want to use kn:special:emailuser/HPNadig first. While he has not been active lately (since March of last year), it might be nice to remind him that he's needed for these things. If neither of your bureaucrats are active, you may wish to consider having the community vote to replace them. Kylu 02:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. "michael180" was my old internet handle. I have been using "ThePlaz" for 4 years now. I have an extensive wiki set up at theplaz.com and all my other accounts use that handle. I only use wikimedia projects occasionally and have not really become well known in the community though I have a few thousand edits. I would like to contribute more once I have the new handle. I would like all of the following wikis to change "Michael180" to "ThePlaz". I am requesting here because of the large quantities of wikis. I will request on en.wikipedia, commons request page.

I used to be w:sv:Användare:Mats Halldin on the Swedish Wikipedia but I don't want my real name to be associated with that wiki any more. I can neither log in to that account or have a new password sent to me. I'm blocked both as Mats Halldin and w:sv:Joe de Coy so I can't make local requests. My old contributions and comments on talk pages are not important to me, I just want the account and its talk page to be gone. I guess the easiest way to achieve this is to rename the account to anything else and block both accounts permanently. --Mats Halldin 10:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I am currently changing all my accounts where I have edit/s to later merge them into one global account. Originally, I changed one at a time and I wrote here since I Cornish Wiki didn't have bureaucrats but now I saw in the archive that one could change multiple names at the same time but I will keep the Cornish link if it's okay? PS. I edited this request. McCharraigin 18:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I also added Wikimedia, and last time I accidently edited without logging in. (I have some trouble with log in since I'm in the middle of switching) I hope it's okay, sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. Now I'm done with everything. McCharraigin 18:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

(I have been uploading material as Ratzer1 for almost three years now. Shortly before starting this in September 2006, I had created the account commons:User:Ratzer, but lost the password, was locked out and was never able to use it again. Anyone doubting this can see that nothing was ever uploaded under that account name, and stewards might be able to verify that the account had not been accessed since September 2006 at the latest. Ratzer is my global name, in use in the de- en- es- fr- and other WPs, and it would be nice to be Ratzer on commons also, and move all my Ratzer1 work to the Ratzer account) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.200.70.37 (talk • contribs) .

Hello, we can't do this request, because xx is no project and there is no confirmation link, please correct Your request and tell us which project the rename is requested, old username, new username and a confirmation link of the old user (and new one if it is a global account), thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 21:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
That username only exists on the English Wikipedia. Request edited to reflect this, however:
  1. English Wikipedia has its own bureaucrats to perform renames, so stewards can't do this anyway.
  2. That account has only one edit. It'd be easier on you to just create the new account instead of requesting a rename.
Good luck. Kylu 23:22, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Ghaly, You need to check the checkbox to be able to rename, because they are attached to global accounts. Raafat needs to merge them afterwards with arz:special:mergeaccount, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 23:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I checked the box everytime, but can not do the change , it keeps telling me that Rafaat stll exists . Many thanks. Ghaly 23:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Then You need to do step 1 again, because then "Raafat" must have created the account automatically new. Just rename it somewhere else [24], best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 08:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes check.svg Done. Many thanks. Ghaly 14:34, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Jet123 @ simple.wikipedia

The following discussion is closed.

I request that simple:w:User:Jet123 on the project name be changed to simple:w:User:WJetChao:

(I am adopting a new wiki username. I requested renaming at Simple English Wikipedia and no bureaucrat took action. The bureaucrats are not active since three weeks ago or more.) WJetChao 23:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, all simple.wiki has active, local bureaucrats, please ask for renames there (interwikilinks to the requestpages can be found on this page, or type special:listusers/bureaucrat into the searchfield on the local wiki), thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 23:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
