Instructions

SUL finalization

If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.

How to add an entry here

To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.

=== Oldname ===
{{SRUC
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global
|Oldname =
|Newname =
|reason = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

Example

For global rename requests: 

=== Example ===
{{SRUC
|status     = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain     = global
|Oldname    = Example
|Newname    = Foo
|reason     = your remarks here
--~~~~
}}


Making a request for your own account

For changing your username on one wiki:

Please include the following information in your request:

  • the old username,
  • the new username,
  • please sign ~~~~ request with your account for a simple move (first section), or sign this request with both the originating and the target accounts if you are requesting a merge (second section).

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. This helps ensure that you are requesting a rename for your own account. Please check before posting your request that the username you want is available. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to user contributions, the account already exists, or check via Special:CentralAuth.

Private requests

Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Simple rename requests

If your rename request requires no stewardship, you have two options:

  1. Use the (new) request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Utilise the manual process outlined above, and submit it below in this section.

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@global if you wish to be globally renamed. Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.

The SUL owner of Alvin@global is blocked at en.wikiquote for "sockpuppetry". However requirements for usurpation are not fully met here. Requesting other opinions. —MarcoAurelio 09:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Alvin: Can you select a new username please? --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:23, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inhakito@global

Status:    Done

-- ║▒ ★ Inhakito ★ ╚Message me╝ 10:51, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Inhakito: There is yet a account "Iñaki" with 33 edits on cawiki. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:11, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Steinsplitter: I guess, that account could be renamed to "Iñaki~cawiki" since it has not edit outside cawiki, and it does not edit since 2008. If it is not possible, then rename my account to "Iñaki Salazar". User Talk:Inhakito 23:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Iñaki has valid edits and therefore we can't rename the account pursuant to usurpation policy (i also talked with a steward, usurping Iñaki is not ok). Therefore i rename you to Iñaki Salazar. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:37, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Şeyx Şamil: Account exists yet, see Special:CentralAuth/Tiger. Please select a other one. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:36, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Steinsplitter: His/her last edit on 2012, so I think this account is unactive. --Şeyx Şamil (talk) 13:42, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The user has valid edits and therefore we can't usurp it. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:43, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But, this account is inactive. Can I notify him? I like this nickname so much.--Şeyx Şamil (talk) 13:46, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am very sorry but pursuant to usurpation policy we can't usurp this account. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:48, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can I take nickname "Boss" ? --Şeyx Şamil (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Boss has valid edits on lv.wikipedia. Can you please check if the username exists before asking again? Or you use Special:GlobalRenameRequest which allows you to select only usernames which are not taken yet. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be angry :))) --Şeyx Şamil (talk) 13:59, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

--CuoreGranata1919 (talk) 16:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please reply in the section above :). The username is taken yet and you don't have enough edits to usurp TheScrambler. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:48, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@global and requests should be signed by both the source (from) and target (to) user accounts.

BenLinus1214@global

Status:    On hold

--BenLinus1214 (talk) 02:52, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, with 4000 edits you have enough edits to take over another account. With 0 edits in mainspace in total and no activity since 2012 I think "Johanna" can be usurped. Please post a message on the talkpage of Johanna in which you clearly explain the situation and ask permission to take over the account. If the message is clear enough, and they do not reply after a month, we can procede with the usurp. All the best, Taketa (talk) 10:49, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Taketa: Thanks for the response! I find it unlikely that the person will respond. What should I do if it has been a month? BenLinus1214 (talk) 11:59, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
After a month, if there is no reply, we will procede with the rename. If we haven't done anything for a few days, feel free to remind us on this page. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 13:27, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold till 28 August 2015. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:04, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jasper Polleunis@global

Status:    On hold

(Dutch): Ik zou erg graag de accountnaam JP001 overnemen, aangezien deze naam op de Portugese Wikipedia vrij inactief is. Deze naam zou ik graag hebben omdat de naam die ik nu heb (Jasper Polleunis) niet echt privacy gericht is (eigennaam). De gebruiker JP001 heeft nul bewerkingen gedaan en is toch al sinds 15 april augustus 2013 actief. Mijn handtekening heb ik al gewijzigd.

Jasper Polleunis (talk) 10:41, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasper Polleunis: please notify the user on his talkpage about this request. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:47, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done, but I think he will not respond. Jasper Polleunis (talk) 19:38, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold till 28 August 2015. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:02, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

XOXOXO@global

Status:    On hold

--XOXOXO (talk) 08:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 4 September 2015. Giving some time to AzorAhai to reply before usurpation can take place, then renaming. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 09:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC) Giving one month instead of one week since it appears to be the general practice. —MarcoAurelio 20:44, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dakarias: Yes, please notify the user on his talkpage about this request. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:08, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Steinsplitter: Done. Dakarias (talk) 13:30, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold till 5 September (pending user reaction). --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Steinsplitter: Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering how the account could have been attached in 2013, but the welcome message on their talk page is from 2007. Dakarias (talk) 08:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The account was indeed registered in March 2007, 8 years ago. Global accounts were at that time still in an early phase, and it wasn't until 2013 that all single accounts were globalised. Savhñ 09:17, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

فخر جهان@global

Status:    On hold

--فخر جهان (talk) 09:25, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you understand, and agree, that using your real name may expose you to harassment or other kind of personal attacks? Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 09:38, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, I had made a funny mistake. "ساقی" is not my real name. but, it is common٫ and commendable in Persian. "فخر جهان" is not a name and has no meaning. --فخر جهان (talk) 10:36, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@فخر جهان: Special:CentralAuth/ساقی exists yet. You want to usurp the account? If yes please notify the user about this request. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:51, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @فخر جهان: No problem :-) However ساقی is already registered. —MarcoAurelio 10:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, ساقی is not registered But if it is registered, because of this user doesn't have any edit on Wikipedia, will you usurp the account and give it to me? --فخر جهان (talk) 09:20, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold till 15 September 2015. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:48, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Surgenski@global

Status:    Not done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: surgent → Surgent

--Surgenski (talk) 18:29, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Surgenski: The requested username is blocked indef at jawiki. —MarcoAurelio 11:02, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi all, I have asked a Japanese bureaucrat for their opinion. Maybe the account on jawiki can be renamed. If not, you will have to choose a different name. All the best, Taketa (talk) 10:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
See Requests for comment/Usurpation policy --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:48, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah Surgenski does not have enough edits to usurp an account. Sorry for that. You will have to chose a different name. Taketa (talk) 14:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done then. You can still request a new username which is not in use yet. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:51, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Steinsplitter I'm sorry, but I don't know how to find her talk page nor what link to provide her. I don't know how to formulate a link to this page.
