Talk:Steward requests/Username changes

Enzino > Arorae

Hello, today I got the message that my account rename request was rejected due to a block on the French Wikipedia. In the mail is stated that I have to solve this block first before my username can be changed. This account was above all blocked due to sock puppetry: that is why it is blocked and will stay blocked. I just want to change my account name since I don't want no more to be found with my real first name on Wikipedia. I hope you can help me with this.

Of course, I will stay blocked in French WP nevertheless my User name changed or not…

Kind regards,

« The request to rename "Enzino" to "Arorae" could not be completed. The reason provided was: "You are currently blocked on fr.wikipedia. Why should we process with the rename?".»

@Arorae: Done I consulted Trizek as a fr.wiki admin. He says the block shouldn't be a blocker for renaming, and since there's no other reason to decline the rename, I've renamed your account. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Of course, this username change has been documented on fr.wp. Trizek ^{from FR} 12:37, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Request for reversal of vanishing

There does not look to be any place to handle revocation of vanishing requests. I refer to actions of two other Wikipedia users en:User:Worm That Turned and en:User:Yamla. I will notify them both of this request.

• User:Vanished user adhmfdfmykrdyr to be restored to prior name of User:Laura Hale.

My original request to reverse the this vanishing was made to English Wikipedia Arbcom. I was directed to the Stewards. Please see my original request [1] for details of that discussion and original rational. I have expanded upon that rational assuming not all of you are up on the current dramafest on English Wikipedia. I have attempted to be as sensitive as possible while providing a narrative outline of the reasons behind this request. The linked pages, in particular the PDD talk page linked below, has considerable supporting evidence and information. Regretably it is all a very long read. Extracting only the pertinant information would not significantly reduce the lenght and making it coherent would result in a considerably more procicutorial document.

I am requesting that the vanishing of en:User:Laura Hale be undone. The guidelines for vanishing on enwp en:WP:VANISH says "It is not intended to be temporary. It is not a way to avoid scrutiny or sanctions. It is not a fresh start and does not guarantee anonymity" and requires the user requesting the vanishing to "be in good standing". After investigating the events surounding the Trust & Safty Partial ban of en:User:Fram I have found evidence to support that this vanishing was specificlly to avoid scrutiny by the community. The evidence I have currently publicly assembled can be found on my section of the Fram PDD page. Further behavioral evidence of atempting to avoid scrutiny is the fact that, rather than going through normal channels wherein the request would have been refused as a matter of policy, a request was instead sent to the Global Renamers mailing list asking for the deletion of the talk page of now en:User talk:Vanished user adhmfdfmykrdyr. This was mistakenly and innocently done by en:User:Yamla and reversed by enwp Arbcom member en:User:Worm That Turned although as an independent administrative action WTT chose to move the undeleted page to en:User talk:Vanished user adhmfdfmykrdyr/Talk page history archive therby making it inaccessable to anyone who does not know to look for it. Per the conversation I cited at the beginning of this request WTT has refused to move it back. I request that the talk page be restored to its proper place upon reversal of the vanising. Shoulf the vanish remain I will, of course, seek community consensus for the return of it to its proper place in the vanished acount.

If this were merly the case of a private individual wanting to leave the project I would not be so adament about the reversal of the vanishing. In this case though I direct your attention to: My rational in my original request on Arbcom Talk, linked at the top of this request; My comments on my talk page [2] under the sections "Request" and "stretching the envalope; and my previously linked comment on the Arbcom Fram PDD talk page.

In short I believe there to be prima facie evidence of improper COI editing occuring over years on English Wikipedia and possibly other projects; that posibly included several other, still active, Wikipedia editors who, at a minimum appear to have supported and shielded a problematic editor, again over a period of years; As mentioned elsewhere there is evidence to show that an English WP arbitrator en:User:Courselles, a current member of WMF Trust and Safety en:User:Fluffernutter and the WMF Board of Trustees Chair en:User:Raystorm were among these editors. Further, I have made the case in my PDD commentary that there is reason to believe that T&S was used improperly to stifle en:User:Fram whose criticism of LauraHale's standard of editing was directly and detrementaly effecting articles associated with various paid and unpaid relationships with the Australian and Spanish Paralympic Committees.

It is not in the interest of the community for the ability of anyone; Wikipedia editor, journalest, doner or the common person on the street to be hindered in their ability to scrutinize the edits of this account or its relationship with other accounts, mentioned and unmentioned as well as the interactions of those accounts among themselves. Current evidence indicates and it is my opinion that this account is central in activity, interaction and motivation to questions which need to be examined. The likelihood of a case being requested with enwp Arbcom or a community discussion on Meta about the issues illuminated by the FRAM case and involving this user in the medium term is quite high.

Thank you for your attention, time, and effort - especially time Jbh^Talk 22:29, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
