Attention!
Stewards aren't allowed to rename users on projects with active bureaucrats. Here's a list of requests for username change pages:
Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wiki without bureaucrats.

[edit] Question prior to request

My SUL process failed for a good deal because of a massive identity theft that happened 2 years ago. See this explanation on a WP:en buraucrat talk page (further to that message, I could usurp on WP:en).

With the passing of time, I could usurp the most used of these accounts, and I left the rest to the SUL. Now the SUL is here, and I see that the issue is not solved.

There are some 40 fake Bradipus users out there, some without edition, some with 2 or 3 quick ones made in a couple of minutes (generally on December 4, 2006). I can give you the details if usefull. I have worked yesterday on 2 usurpations on franch projects, I have started the process on the german WP.

But honestly, I do not see me losing my time and, more important, the time of dozens of bureaucrats all over the WP galaxy to sort out the mess created by the worst vandal WP:fr ever had (see m:Vandalism reports/BogaertB for details about the guy). Isn't it just possible that I give you the account names and it is dealt with directly by a steward? Bradipus 20:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

We can only do something on wikis without active bureaucrats. And we cannot merge accounts per hand. So you will have to ask the bureaucrats on all these projects. Btw., JFYI, there is an administrator Bradypus on the German Wikipedia. --Thogo (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I know, that is why I choose "bradipus" with an "i", a name that wasn't used on any WP at that moment (sigh'') Bradipus
Sorry, but if there are local active crats, we can't do that, what You could consider, if You don't want to edit these projects where the vandal accounts persist, is to leave them, leave SUL activated, so that these impersonations can't continue and wait for the conflict resolution. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I am confused. I find nowhere in Help:Unified login any indication of a conflict resolution besides the usurp. Did I miss something? Is there a point in time where the 40 accounts will be merged in the global account? Bradipus 20:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Afaik, there will be (probably) a renaming of the accounts automatically as conflict resolution (or something alike) but that is not in the near future nor is it known how that would be done, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

It is, however, true that there are many cases of multiple-project identity theft. As part of the SUL initiative, we might consider a joint effort with all the local Bureaucrats, so that we can get a special dispensation to process such cases, where it is clearly identity theft performed in multiple projects, without the need of having the good-faith user contact God-knows-how-many local Bureaucrats and deal with the problem on a one-by-one basis.
We might create a SUL subpage and invite all the local Bureaucrats to present any opposition to this being allowed for SUL purposes only, and see if we can work something out. The interested party (the victim) would still have to present the evidence that the accounts are numerous (very important, otherwise the user can simply ask 1 or 2 local Bureaucrats and have it taken care of) and were all created as part of a vandal attack (identity theft), showing, for instance, that all of the accounts are inactive, or were used only a few times (usually for vandalism).
After all, if the process is made impossibly difficult due to vandalistic actions from the past, then the vandals eventually win out and, for the victims, it is as good as not having SUL at all. Just an idea. Redux 23:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I got 41. When the process I started on WP:de concludes, it will be 40. I'd sure would appreciate such a process. As Redux reasonnably points, now it is the vandal who wins. 81.241.158.162 05:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Notice about SUL

I have created my global account Chaos ..with some exceptions on some wiki cause of registration .. but I expected that this global account will prevent anybody from registering with the same name ... surprisingly before few days some one register with my username in sl.wp .. I tried to register with different pass in some wiki,s ..and it works .... that should be fixed or i will have to upsurp 20 accounts rather than 10 accounts after few monthes :) that makes no sense and let the SUL loses its real purpose ...what is the plan to deal with that ?? apparently u have to login once in some wiki with ur global account to register some login ..that what could prevent another guy from creating an account with ur name ... i hope that sul developed rapidly to check the SUL before it permits some guy from registration --Chaos 15:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Just login to every wiki. Then nobody can steal your name. --Thogo (talk) 15:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for locking

Here you can request locking of some global account, so nobody will be able to log under it.
