===Joy===
{{status|not done}}
I just happened to notice that [[:de:Spezial:Beiträge/Joy]] includes my edits, even though my account hasn't been globalized. I never underwent the account unification procedure because of that Bangladeshi user that turns out to be a bot - per http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Joy But if this kind of moving of edits around is legitimate and is going to happen in the future, I wish to be safe from those ''other'' owners of Joy accounts having my work attributed to them, or even vice versa - it only seems fair. Please advise. TIA. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 11:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
:User Joy from dewiki is the same like the Joy on hrwiki IMO. Or can you log in on dewiki? <s>The problem is that Joy from hrwiki has unified his account. </s> No he hasn´t, but he is using this account on dewiki. --[[User:WizardOfOz|<font face="Monotype corsiva" size="4" style="color:#000000;color:blue"><i>WizardOfOz</i></font>]] <sup><span style="font-family:Italic;color:blue">[[user_talk:WizardOfOz|talk]]</span></sup> 11:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
:: Hello. It is because those edits where [[Help:Import|imported]] from another project: [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kroatische_Pr%C3%A4sidentenwahl_2009/10&diff=68457277&oldid=68457044 example]. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Dferg|Dferg]] [[User talk:Dferg|☎]] 09:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Frankly, there's not much you can do. You could request usurpation of Joy@dewiki, but that would only solve the problem for one specific project. Though it probably is one of the few projects that actually imports pages. In any case, this bug is known as [[:bugzilla:8537]] and has been closed as WONTFIX by Brion. In his comment he stating that it is "[p]retty much a non-issue, and will go away entirely shortly." Seeing as we don't necessarily have full SUL conflict resolution, as in your case, that means that these mis-attributions will continue to happen. As stewards we can't do anything about that. --[[User:Erwin|Erwin]] 17:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:::: OK, is this a good place to instead request usurpation of ''all'' Joy accounts on all wikis? Other than the Bangladeshi bot, there's like fifty of them now and it's only going to get worse. I was just approached via e-mail regarding a similar issue between "wikisource" and "en.wikisource" accounts - they also differ. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 10:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
:fwiw, wikisource and en.wikisource edits are by this 'Joy', and the holder of the en.ws 'Joy' account is fine for it to be usurped. [[User:John Vandenberg|John Vandenberg]] 10:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Rehman

Status:    In progress

Hello. I have requested the following accounts be usurped in March 2010, but the editors here declined this, stating that I need to contact local bureaucrats. I have then contacted bureaucrats from the de and az wikipedias, but have not received any responses. I wish to usurp the following accounts:

Thank you. Rehman(+) 02:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The both users you've contacted are inactive or retired. For dewiki is better if you ask here and for azwiki you can contact the other bureaucrat on his talk page. We are sorry but we are not allowed to rename users in wikis with active bureaucrats. Thanks, --dferg ☎ talk 08:32, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I completely understand. Thank you. Rehman(+) 10:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done for dewiki. Raymond 09:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. User Sortilegus on az.wiki don't seem to be able to help. :( Any suggestions? Rehman(+) 01:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like he also ignored a message from Kylu. Rehman(+) 00:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. About two weeks have passed. Move on with the usurpation from here? Rehman(+) 04:16, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SlimVirgin

Status:    Not done

Hi, I'm an editor on the English Wikipedia, looking for help so that I can complete my unified log-in. Someone has set up SlimVirgin accounts on five other wikis. I've tried at various points over the years to have these removed by admins/bureaucrats on these wikis, but I either got no response or didn't understand the response. Is this something a steward can help with? When I try to unify my log-in, I get a message saying these accounts are preventing it:

  • hr.wikipedia.org [1]
  • it.wikipedia.org [2]
  • no.wikipedia.org [3]
  • pl.wikipedia.org [4]
  • zh.wikipedia.org [5]

SlimVirgin (talk) 01:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I didn't mean I didn't understand the language. I just didn't understand what they were advising. :) SlimVirgin (talk) 23:20, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've managed to get another two three four usurped, so maybe I'll be able to manage the others after all. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:26, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I closed this one. --Erwin 17:15, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that I managed to get the final one usurped today. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

William S. Saturn

Status:    Done

I have accounts as William S. Saturn on Wikipedia, Commons, WikiNews and German Wikipedia as seen here. It says I have a global account, but I cannot see where. I would like to globally unify these accounts, but when asked for the password, I am told it is wrong, however I know it is correct and have made sure many times over. Could someone help me unify these accounts? I don't know what I need to do. Thank you.--William Saturn 21:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your global account wasn't attached to any local accounts. Therefore, I deleted the global account so you can re-create it from Wikipedia and attach the above mentioned ones. --Erwin 17:17, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bli

Status:    There are English-fluent bureaucrats on all three projects.

Hello. I have 2 problems: The first problem is that I have an account on the english wikipedia and one here, on meta.wikimedia.org.

When I try to proceed to the login unification, It says that my "home wiki" is on the german wikipedia and asks for my password there. But I do not own this account, so I cannot continue the procedure. How is the "home wiki" defined? What should I do?

Well, it seems to work if I try the procedure starting from my account on the english wikipedia instead of my account on meta.wikimedia.org. I leave this in case this helps someone else.

Here are the accounts with my username that I do not own:

None of them seems to be used, as far as I can see. (well; my accounts are not much used either, for the moment)

The other problem is that I would like to create an account on the french wikipedia, but It says that my username is too similar to another account's name that already exists.

Here is a list of your accounts (or ones that share the same name as yours). According to this, EN-Wiki is your home wiki, and you already have a FR-Wiki account (created a week ago).
Your home wiki is always determined by which Wiki has the most edits, although any flags (such as Admin, Bureaucrat, Reviewer, etc.) always override this rule.
I am not a bureacrat, however thought I would comment. The ES-Wiki and JA-Wiki were created back in March 2006 and have 0 edits on both; and the DE-Wiki also has 0 edits, yet the creation date is unknown. So you should have no problem getting the accounts merged, jsut wait patiently for the bureacrats to check up here. AGiorgio08 19:08, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PS. Try going to these sites and requesting, from your IP Address, usurpation by the bureaucrats of the local Wikis. Here is DE-Wiki, ES-Wiki and JA-Wiki. Doing this might make the whole process a lot faster. AGiorgio08 19:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not done All these projects have local bureaucrats and are quite active. We stewards will not be able to perform the renames for you, I'm sorry, but we're willing to try to help if you get stuck. Keep in mind, though, that we can't force them to perform the renames. Kylu 01:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anibas

Status:    Done

I wish to usurp for SUL. Thank you. --Anibas 10:17, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was already here a month ago [6] and got send over to the local bureaucrat. I placed my request for usurpation on his talk page [7], but he seems to be inactive. Should I wait longer or can I take other means to get that account? It's the last one not part of my SUL. --Anibas 10:17, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Kylu 01:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

--Myst 22:05, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not done There are local, active bureaucrats. You want to post your request at mw:Project:Requests#Requests_for_renames. Kylu 01:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rambo

Status:    In progress

Hello. Unsure where to turn I came here. I obtained en:User:Rambo on en.wiki following an SUL request there.[8] I then had a Rambo on en.quote moved so I could obtain the SUL.[9] However, after that was moved I was unable to create the account Rambo on wikiquote because it said it had blocked the username because it belonged to a unified login and the problem didn't seem able to be resolved over there.[10] Now the unified account isn't mine, if I try and manage it from en.wiki it asks me for a password to migrate to the global account but I don't own the global account. However the toolserver says there are no accounts attatched.[11] I think the problem must come from their previously being a global account (I'm guessing the wikiquote one) and it had no accounts attatched to it. This might explain the SUL information of "User registration: 17:59, 27 August 2009" (before the en.wiki one was even made) and "Home wiki: ???". What I'm requesting, for someone to delete the existing global account (if there is one) so I can create it from en.wiki and obtain the wikiquote account. Or, alternatively, a solution to my problem. Thanks for your time,

--Rambo's Revenge 09:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
