Hedda Gabler (eski)[edit]

Status:    Done

--Hedda Gabler (eski) (talk) 16:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@Hedda Gabler (eski): we can't merge accounts. We can change Hedda Gabler to Hedda Gabler (usurped) then change Hedda Gabler (eski) to Hedda Gabler. So if you need us to do that sign by Hedda Gabler account under your request --Alaa :)..! 19:06, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi @علاء:,
I don't remember my "Hedda Gabler" account password :/ But its mine account. --Hedda Gabler (eski) (talk) 21:08, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
@Hedda Gabler (eski): I don't think we can preform this request unless you sign by you other account! --Alaa :)..! 10:02, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
@علاء:,
I will pass a brief summary:
I was a member of Wikipedia under the name of "Cemallamec".
Then I changed my username to "Hedda Gabler" and used it as SUL in all the wikis.
I forgot my password, then I created a new account.
Then I confiscated "Hedda Gabler" username and admins of tr.wiki made "Hedda Gabler" to "Hedda Gabler (eski)"
I continued to contribute with "Hedda Gabler" username for years
I did not contribute Wikipedia for years so I did not log in (and I forgot my password)
When I turn back, I noticed that my all accounts were seperated each other under these username: "Cemallamec", "Hedda Gabler", "Hedda Gabler (eski)" and "Hedda Gabler ~ trwiki" (and +1)
I can now enter only "Cemallamec" and "Hedda Gabler (eski)" accounts.
I only want my "Hedda Gabler" username because it's mine. You can ask Turkish Wikipedia user/admins etc. or search.
Thanks and "may the force be with you" if u solve this problem. --Hedda Gabler (eski) (talk) 17:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
@Ajraddatz: what is your opinion here? --Alaa :)..! 19:51, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
The trwiki account had a different password than the other accounts. @Hedda Gabler (eski): can you direct a trwiki admin who knew you here? We could also ask on Phabricator if they can match the email address used on both the ~trwiki account and the main Hedda Gabler account. – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Comment Comment As a sysop on trwiki, I guarantee that the two accounts of concern (Hedda Gabler (eski) & Hedda Gabler) are used by the same person. This usurpation request in particular, approved by local bureaucrats, support this view as well. --Superyetkin (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
@Superyetkin:I totally agree! --e.c. 18:20, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
@Ajraddatz: --Alaa :)..! 09:52, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
I think you proceed with this request. Ruslik (talk) 13:27, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Siqbal[edit]

Status:    Done

--Siqbal (talk) 04:58, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

@Siqbal:--sorry, the account, Sikander, contains valid edits on the fr.wikipedia, and thus is not eligible for usurpation. Please choose another username. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 02:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atcovi:--Yes, I saw that account, but it has had no activity for more than 10 years. Last edit by that account was 2 July 2007. Does that make a difference? Siqbal (talk) 14:07, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Unfortunately, no. Although inactive, the account still holds important edits to itself. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atcovi: what is the important edits here :/ I saw edits between (-22 to +41) just! --Alaa :)..! 14:08, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Few from several as I have found: 1, 2, 3. All of these changes are present today on those fr.wikipedia articles, this making the account entitled to these edits. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:15, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atcovi: Thanks. I saw all of them but Is it so important to prevent active user (+7000 edits) from take this name? Also the user inactive since more than 10 years! I prefer to accept this request --Alaa :)..! 17:29, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
According to the Requests_for_comment/Usurpation_policy: "User accounts may be usurped if it matches one of following conditions:
  • Does not have any edits except deleted
  • Is a vandalism-only account where all the edits were straight reverted and can thus be deleted.
  • Has edits to userspace only that can be deleted."

But alas, I'm not a global renamer--you are. It is your (or another gr)'s decision at the end of the day. Salam. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 18:06, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

@Atcovi: We should not forget that this is Request for comment (i.e. not an official policy), and we should use common sense --Alaa :)..! 09:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Ahect~enwiki[edit]

Status:    Done
@Ahecht: why you put the old name as "Ahect~enwiki"? --Alaa :)..! 23:48, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
@Alaa: I am trying to create an alternate account under "Ahect" since it is a common misspelling of my username (per en:Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Legitimate_uses), but since that name was not available I temporarily created it at "Ahect~enwiki" so that it could be moved to "Ahect" once that account is usurped. I am not trying to rename my main Ahecht account. -Ahecht (TALK

@Ajraddatz: can you take a look here? --Alaa :)..! 18:52, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
It's an unusual request, but I think it could be actioned given the appropriate waiting period after notification. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:42, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@Alaa: Hi Alaa, I'm an administrator at the Portuguese Wikipédia, and member of the Wikimedia Portuguese Chapter. I'm currently working with Profª Isabel Lousada in the next art+fem event. Upon starting her work with us, she found that someone, apparetly by mistake, while trying to create an article about her, created instead an username, who then posted information about her first in the userpage, then in a proper article in main space. She would like to reclaim her identity back. Is that possible?--- Darwin Ahoy! 19:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello @DarwIn:. Thanks for this clarification. we can change (Isabel Cruz Lousada) to (Isabel Lousada) -particularly, all of (Isabel Lousada) edits on Isabel Lousada on pt.wikipedia, okay? --Alaa :)..! 20:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
