Requests for renaming your own account

Immer in Bewegung@multiple projects

Status:    Done

• Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: Immer in Bewegung (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• New Username: IIBewegung (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• Confirmation difflink: w:en:User_talk:IIBewegung
• Reason: I'm going to start participating in German (de.wik*.org) projects and would like to change my username in all of the existing wiki accounts to something that's is not a word or a phrase in German (or in any other language). It will make my records in Talk and History pages less distracting.
  

I've already changed the username in en.wikipedia.org . The other wikis I have listed are only those in which I have contributed.

• Stewards: rename user

Please be specific on which all wikis you need renames. Per policy, Stewards will not rename accounts if there is a local crat active. --Jyothis 03:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

They are listed in w:en:User_talk:IIBewegung. I think they all have crats. I was redirected from a meta-crat that I should put in the request here to be renamed in multiple projects (if not globally) at the same time. Would it be possible to do that here? If not, I guess I'll have to go ask the local crats of each of the 6 wikis I've listed... --Immer in Bewegung 04:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I have renamed you on kowikisource and kowikiquote, since the only crats there have been inactive for ages. For the remaining 4 please contact local bureaucrats. We will only be able to help you on those if they do not respond to your request after some time. Bencmq 07:04, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hermann Winkler Siemens@en.wikipedia.org

Status:    Done

• Wiki: en.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: Hermann_Winkler_Siemens (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• New Username: Nobody's Time (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• Confirmation difflink: [2]
• Reason: Personal reason for all wikies as one test, thanks in advance. Hermann Winkler Siemens 07:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
• Stewards: rename user

We are definitely not going to perform global renames to help you with a test of personal reason because it takes much effort and time. Most of your edits are (bot-assisted I believe) userpage creations that has no true significance anyway. Please create another account if you need to. Request for rename on Commons separately if you wish. Bencmq 07:31, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Bencmg, I am registered in 308 Wikies, see below, I want to remove my Name "Hermann Winkler" and my company name "Siemens". The reason is self protection. I did make this mistake by my self to choose "Hermann Winkler Siemens". Please help me to change ist to an anonymous name. Or can you delete the user in all wikies, except in de.wikipedia.org?

Reason is personal protection, did make mistake to use my real name, all wikies see below, thanks in advance. Hermann Winkler Siemens 07:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

May I know why you want to keep your username on dewiki and that won't be a problem, but existence on other wikis would? Bencmq 08:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, because I already renamed it to "Nobody's Time" at dewiki. If you can reach some wikies not, than please tell me, which I have to rename manually, thanks in advance. Hermann Winkler Siemens 08:30, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

 partially done for wikis with inactive bureaucrats for 3 months or longer. See sulutil:Hermann_Winkler_Siemens for list of remaining accounts. Bencmq 08:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, 146 Wikies are left, must I rename them locally, or is it done by time from you? Hermann Winkler Siemens 09:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

By policy you would have to go around and ask for rename locally. Bencmq 10:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

By policy ok, but is there any chance to do this automatically? Maybe this would be another additional and important feature for wiki-administration. Hermann Winkler Siemens 16:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Not at this moment, welcome to the real world... I do understand this is a big trouble. Bencmq 16:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Having a single page here that local project 'crats were encouraged to watch and act on would simplify life for people without requiring the creation of new tools or meta policies. It would be down to each project if they wanted to participate. Anyway, probably not the right page to suggest this on... QU ^TalkQu 22:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Request proceeded on

1. etwikimedia (inactive crat: Adeliine)
2. udmwiki (inactive crat: Denis)
3. astwiki (inactive crat: Esbardu)
4. brwiki (inactive crats: Kadwalan and Neal)
5. knwiki (inactive crats: HPNadig, Pamri and Shushruth)
6. gvwiki (inactive crat: Alison)
7. guwiki (inactive crat: Spundun)

Regards a×p_de^Hello! 11:59, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

 Done I also renamed you on be-x-oldwiki, where the only bureaucrat was inactive for years. As I see that stewards have renamed you everywhere they have the right to, I'm now closing this request as done. You see me sorry that there is no way to rename somebody globally in an easier way.

とある白い猫 (usurped)@af.wikipedia

Status:    Done

• Wiki: af.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: とある白い猫 (usurped) (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• New Username: とある白い猫 (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• Confirmation difflink: -_-;
• Reason: It seems like there was a mistake in the rename and my account with edits was incorrectly usurped. I propose the following renames to fix the problem:
  • とある白い猫 -> とある白い猫 (usurped2)
  • とある白い猫 (usurped) -> とある白い猫
  • とある白い猫 (usurped2) -> とある白い猫 (usurped)

Sunbu@multiple projects

Status:    Done

• Wiki: global.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: Sunbu (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• New Username: Jkr2255 (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)

• Reason: I am Jkr2255, and Sunbu is my sub-acount(account creation log on jawp). I have made global accounts using automated tool, but local accounts has made in some wikis (Stalk toy) and these account doesn't either accept my password nor have registerd my email address. So, I request usurptions of these local accounts made by accident and Sunbu in these project to be renamed to Jkr2255.

• Old Username: Akshayindulkar (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
• New Username: AAIndulkar (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)

• Reason: I already renamed it but i realized that changes were made in my wikipedia username only.
• Stewards: rename user

 Not done Sorry, but stewards don't have the right to rename you on projects with local bureaucrats. And every projects where you have at least one contribution has active bureaucrats. You should ask them locally for each project you want to be renamed. You can find links which will help on the index of pages where renaming can be requested. Cordially, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 17:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Some of your accounts are very recently created and have no edits, so you can abandon them without rename. Three accounts are on wikis with active crats. Please request rename from those crats:

• hi.wiki
• mr.wiki
• ta.wiki

Sorry we cannot be of more assistance. MBisanz ^talk 17:27, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

• Stewards: rename user

s:zh:Echo – contribs – log – crats – stewardry — sulutil — centralAuth  Done

b:ru:Echo – contribs – log – crats – stewardry — sulutil — centralAuth  Done

I usurped these two accounts. For usurpation on other projects you will need to ask local bureaucrats. Ruslik (talk) 10:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I will also recommend you to get first renamed on the home wiki. Ruslik (talk) 10:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

And I recommend to create the SUL account for User:Echo before requesting any rename! a×p_de^Hello! 11:18, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I do not think this is necessary. Ruslik (talk) 19:07, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
