The English one in particular was registered by someone with the intention to impersonate me, [[user:Sameboat]], because both names are similar when written in Chinese. Since then I registered "同舟人誓相隨" on Commons, another sister project I actively participate, as protective puppet account. In March 2015, I received [[:commons:User talk:同舟人誓相隨|notification on Commons]] that I need to change "同舟人誓相隨" to a different name to avoid user name conflict. My request here is to have both local "同舟人誓相隨" accounts on English and Chinese WPs deleted and allow me to register a global protective account with the user name of "同舟人誓相隨". Thank you.

=== toma@huwp ===
{{status|not done}}
Hello dear stew's. :) I've been kindly asked to play a postman since the user (who's my friend) isn't experienced in wikipolitics, and my efforts to help him curiously were pretty unsuccessful. This is rather an information request about what to do.

Toma@huwp is an account from 2003 but he hasn't been very active since. He got a notice that his account name ''will'' be usurped and were "offered" to have anything else as a name, which is obviously not something he'd like to do. When he asked me about it I tried to see how the global account is standing and what I see is that Toma@trwp holds it. I failed, however, to figure out what was the basis that he got the account (the pages about global auth are pretty silent about the picking mthods and who's winning and why), or if he (at trwiki, along everyone else) would lose it either. I am not sure as well how to proceed: he oviously would like to keep his account name, which is his preudonym since forever. Apart from being older he seem to have the most edits throughout the projects (as of now).

Any useful advices? :) TIA. --[[user:grin|grin]] [[user talk:grin|✎]] 15:43, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

:Hi, the user on trwp got the global account because (s)he had more edits at the time of clashing resolution. More can be read at [[Single User Login finalisation announcement/Schema announcement]]. Unfortunately he should choose another nick or otherwise he will be renamed to toma~huwiki. There are also more accounts who has [[Special:CentralAuth/Toma|Toma]] as their username and will be renamed. Unfortunately everyone can't get the same name :/ --[[User:Stryn|Stryn]] ([[User talk:Stryn|talk]]) 16:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

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.


Global requests

Two options exist for requesting renames

  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.

Nodder@global

Status:    In progress

--Nodder (talk) 21:42, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nodder: Your "Nodder" username is already your global account. Also, do you own Svetlan on the Bulgarian Wikipedia (it has the global account for Svetlan)? --Stryn (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no. The account on Bulgarian Wikipedia is not mine. --Nodder (talk) 22:09, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nodder: Ok, Please confirm that the account "Svetlan" on the English Wikipedia belongs to you (log in on enwiki and edit your [Svetlan] own talk/user page). --Stryn (talk) 17:45, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Stryn: Done! --Nodder (talk) 19:29, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nodder: One more request, sorry: please login on your account on enwiki and go to Special:MergeAccount then we can perform the global rename. --Stryn (talk) 05:13, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Leee@global

Status:    Not done

--Accents (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Accents: Leee is already a global account and has over 600 edits on the Hebrew Wikipedia so we can't usurp it if I understood your request correctly. --Stryn (talk) 09:03, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done per my comment above. --Stryn (talk) 09:19, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spike@plwiki

Status:    In progress
You have been allocated the global account by the formula determined by Wikimedia. Are you sure that you wish for this account to be moved?  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)`[reply]
Hi, I am en:User:Spike. Just to give full information: The reason that pl:User:Spike/pl:User:Spike78 is requesting this name change is because I had sent him an e-mail where I had asked him for the name change so that I could take over the global account "Spike" and he had graciously accepted. User Spike (talk) 15:22, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requests with usurps and complex renames

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@project name .

123chess456@global

Status:    On hold
you will need to solve locally on:
  1. arwiki
  2. cswiki
  3. dawiki
  4. dewiki
  5. dewikinews
  6. enwikibooks
  7. enwiktionary

  24. zhwiki Matanya (talk) 14:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Local renames are no longer possible by local users as per gerrit:160158. Thus, this is to be done by stewards. Vogone (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:Chess. So you want your 123chess456 accounts on commons, simplewiki, simplewikt and wikidata to be renamed to "Chess"? --MF-W 15:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've usurped on enwiki, so please change all of my accounts that you are able to to "Chess". I will have to make an usurp request on every individual wiki? Chess (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is not yet "global usurpation policy", so I guess you will have to request usurpation locally for now and the bureaucrats will have to ask Stewards to fulfill those local requests. –xeno 20:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Per Xeno above, we can't start ignoring local usurpation guidelines, asking local bureaucrats for comment might indeed be the best solution, though we also have to keep in mind that this is atransitional period to SUL finalisation where all these accounts will be forcibly renamed. Done on es.wiki - as a local bureaucrat - and on enwikibooks and enwiktionary per previous precedents. Savhñ 20:53, 15 September 2014 (UTC) And some more (kawikibooks, trwikibooks, trwikiquote, mediawikiwiki, jawiki) based on previous precedents. Savhñ 21:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Two issues should be separated here: 1.) The renaming of the remaining 123chess456 accounts who have edits to the new name; 2.) The renaming ("usurpation") of the unattached Chess accounts.
In order to solve 1.), I have just done the following renames: (so please visit Special:MergeAccount)
Chess@commons->Chess (self-usurped)@commons
123chess456@commons->Chess@commons
123chess456@simple->Chess@simple
123chess456@simplewikt->Chess@simplewikt
Chess@wikidata->Chess (self-usurped)@wikidata
123chess456@wikidata->Chess@wikidata
The only remaining 123chess456'es with edits are on Meta and enwiki. That is obviously unsolvable at the moment, maybe you will want to request a merge when that function exists. --MF-W 21:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've usurped all 0-edit Chess accounts and merged the frwiki accounts. —DerHexer (Talk) 16:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On hold until the merge function is available. Ajraddatz (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Planning on using User:123chess456 as an alt account, for example, vanilla interface testing, insecure wifi, public computer terminals, etc. What I would like, is to usurp the remaining users. Chess (talk) 00:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Chess, please clarify whether you want the edits from 123chess456 merged into your Chess account or not. For usurpation, please inform the users and hold a month. Savhñ 10:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Galadrien@global

Status:    On hold
On hold until the tool to merge SULs becomes available. Ajraddatz (talk) 17:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I propose to decline this and process it when SUL merge is enabled. (Looks like it is not going to happen soon.) — Revi 12:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Pelikana@en.wikipedia (Usurp. request)

Status:    On hold

--Pelikana (talk) 13:27, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uitgevoerd. Heb je een account op en.wiki die eventueel bij je globaal account toegevoegd moet worden? Savhñ 13:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pelikana, can you provide an edit with the Pepelikana@enwiki account, so we can confirm you own that account? Savhñ 13:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
here you go and ty. Can i do a request for the separated wp.de:user here too? Pelikana (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Geachte Pelikana, na het te hebben besproken met andere stewards, en aangezien nu beide accounts op en.wiki van jou zijn en je ook bovendien één bewerking hebt op nl.wiki met Pepelikana, lijkt het ons het verstandigst om te wachten op de activering van de Account-merge-tool. Hiermee zal het mogelijk worden andere accounts onder één naam samen te voegen. De verwachting is dat deze tool in de komende maand beschikbaar wordt.
Als je een ander account hebt op de.wiki die je ook aan dit accout toegevegd wenst, laat het dan hier even weten. Zodra het technisch mogelijk is, zullen we het uitvoeren. Savhñ 14:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Xavax@global

Status:    On hold

--Clavax (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Placing on hold pending the deployment of AccountMerge, since you have two global accounts and have contributed with both to commons and to other projects. I have updated the confirmation diff, since the one you provided was broken. Savhñ 10:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

khaled@global

Status:    On hold
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: khaled → Khaled
  • Confirmation difflink: [7]
  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: Dear Wikimedia Foundation. I have requested to change (Usurpation) my username from روخو to khaled at https://ar.wikipedia.org and it was done successfully in February 13, 2013 15:51. recently I have noticed that my new user name (khaled) does not work at all Wikimedia foundation projects, such as commons.wikimedia.org, ar.wiktionary.org, ar.wikinews.org... Please notice that I have contribution at the previous mentioned projects and I want them to be under my new name. I have asked some administrators at ar.wikipedia.org and they advised me to make request here. I want to have all my contributions at all Wikimedia projects to be under my new name (Khaled) and want to have one user (unified login) mane to access all the different Wikimedia projects. Thanks for your considerations and waiting for your feedback.

Best Regards,

Khaled Mahmoud --روخو (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have usurped all "Khaled" accounts without any live edits, so you should be able to edit all projects except de.wiki and fi.wiki with your "Khaled" account. I suggest you wait for SUL finalisation and the deployment of AccountMerge to merge these two. Alternatively, we could merge the accounts the old way (all individually) but that could lead to problems. Savhñ 14:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peka@jawiki and other 3 projects

Status:    On hold
 On hold @Pekachu: before we can do anything we require for you to make this account a global account. Please follow the link in your "My Preferences" to achieve this, and let us kn when that is done. We also require those accounts that are yours under the username "Peka" each are edited on their user or user talk pages by you so that we know that they are your accounts. On the edits, simply quote [[m:Special:PermanentLink/11066304]]. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pietro.ziveri@global

Status:    On hold

Also @billinghurst Hello, I do not agree with the solution you provided. I don't want to link Pietro.ziveri to any random string but, as my original intention was: to MERGE P.ziveri and Pietro.ziveri accounts in one account: P.ziveri and, after merging, delete or cancel the information by Pietro.ziveri. I don't know why you renamed ONLY the itWP and itWS accounts and have left the enWP and meta accounts at the user name Pietro.ziveri which I want completely ERASED and MERGED into P.ziveri for the Privacy reasons mentioned in my first request. Special:PermanentLink/11066362#P.ziveri.40global I prefer to WAIT (as you suggested) until mergers are available later this year (when btw?). Thank You for your help.

 awaiting global merge It was the solution suggested by a global renamer, to which no response was made. If you really want those 20+ edits then you will need to wait until global merge is available.  — billinghurst sDrewth 15:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aharon@global

Status:    On hold

--24.165.97.140 13:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have contributed with both accounts on en.wiki, we'll need to wait for AccountMerge. To allow us to merge your accounts once AccountMerge is deployed, please access en:Special:MergeAccount while logged into your Aharon account to create a global account. Otherwise, we will not be able to perform the merge. Savhñ 20:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've completed the form on en:Special:MergeAccount to create a global account. There appear to be a number of other accounts named 'Aharon' on other wikimedia sites. These are not mine. (Only the 'Aharon' account on en.wikipedia.org is mine.) Thank you Savh. 24.165.97.140 17:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great. As soon as AccountMerge is available, the merge of these two global accounts will be completed. This is expected to be before april. (Confirmation diff) Savhñ 17:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion would be that you simply stop using the other account, otherwise, if you really want the two edits, then On hold,  awaiting global merge since you want your username to be the account with fewer edits. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 17:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have two "old usernames"? Ruslik (talk) 20:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, originally I was Bob l'éponge (can't spell it correctly with my phone), then I changed to ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge to emphasize that I'm interested in railway stuff (ÖPNV is German for public transport), but because I'm so stupid I didn't noticed when I logged in with the old name, leading to the 'reactivation' of that account. Later, I chose to rename me to U-Bahnfreund (metro friend), but again I sometimes forgot the rename, meaning ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge was also 'reactivated'. Lastly, in November, I think, I kinda didn't like that name anymore so I settled on Metrophil44. Fortunatly I already discovered my faults so I didn't reactivated that account too, so I just have to let the other two be merged with my real account. -- Metrophil44 (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    On hold

--Banjo (talk) 23:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He usurpado todas las cuentas locales que no tenían ediciones. Las que tienen ediciones (nowiki, itwiki, commons, cs.wiki, nlwiki y dawiki) requieren un aviso al usuario, y preferiblemente una solicitud de su parte. Considerando el gran número de ediciones de las cuentas de nowiki y de itwiki, no creo que sea apropiado usurparlas por el momento, por lo cual les he dejado un mensaje informativo del caso. Las otras cuentas han sido informadas de que serán usurpadas a no ser que soliciten el cambio de nombre. En un mes, se podrá proceder a la usurpación.
En todo caso, con la finalización de SUL, también las cuentas de itwiki y nowiki serán usurpadas automáticamente. Puesto que me parece que no necesitas editar esos proyectos, prefiero dejarlo hasta el SUL finalisation.
Done for all 0-edit accounts,  On hold for commons, cswiki, nlwiki and dawiki until the 7th April, where the users have been informed that they would be usurped in a month. The accounts on nowiki and itwiki have >100 edits, and though they have been informed of approaching finalisation and given the possibility to request a rename, they should not be usurped IMO (or else, they should be informed they will be usurped with a deadline).

Boudewijn@global

Status:    In progress

For 5 projects I got an account with the username "Boudewijn". I have been gathering those since 2005. Over the last 10 years I made some contributions to each of the projects, even though most of my edits are anonymous.

In the SUL-renaming-project another user had just a few more edits than my max on one of the projects, and so that account became the global account. I would like to use "Boudewijn" as SUL for my accounts. More objective arguments:

  • all of the edits of boudewijn-on-commons are done within 1 hour in 2007.
  • there has not been any activity from that account since.
  • my combined edits are higher than those of the current SUL-account

Is it necessary to request SUL account deletion for the current Boudewijn-SUL, or can that one be renamed?

I would really appreciate it if I could retain my old username as a global login. Thank you for your consideration! --2001:982:1768:1:225:90FF:FE37:B6F8 00:08, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you hold all of the other accounts, then I am inclined to process this request. However, would you consider selecting a different name to make it easier on everyone :)? Ajraddatz (talk) 06:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The other Bouwdewijn (commons, dewp) has been inactive for 8 years and was only active for 2 days. They also have less edits in total. I think we should give the global account to this Boudewijn (enwp, nlwp, enwn, enwk, nlwk). I suggest switching the global account choice (deleting the global account) and warning the other user of the coming SUL finalisation. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 07:05, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: I understand that each request adds a manual burden on a complex project, and have considered selecting another user name. I also considered the active time of the other account: as Takata points out: it was only active on two dates (less than sixty minutes, crossing from one to the next date at midnight). Thank you for your time on this. @Takata: thanks :-)
addition for clarity: I would still like to retain Boudewijn as user name :-)

  • Reason: I have the user name beastin on WikiMedia and the user name beastinwith on Wikipedia. I tried to unify my accounts on my own, but I think I just wound up generating a global account under beastinwith. Ideally I would like both my beastinwith account on Wikipedia and my beastin account on MediaWiki merged into a global account under the name beastin. Unfortunately, the name beastin was registered to someone else on Wikipedia in 2007. That person appears to have used the account only once (for what appears to have been an act of vandalism) in 2007, so I'm hoping to usurp the name.

Comment Comment I don't think that this account should take precedence. Pumping up an edit account after the criteria has been made available should not be the determinator. Two years of not editing is not particularly inactive, and the counts of the other accounts of this username that are of a similar condition. I suggest that you choose another name for your account.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Had a warning been issued to me, via e-mail or talkpage, before the "too late, you're going to be renamed" message, I would've taken care of the issue then. Since I have always only dealt with Enwiki, I never saw any of the posts on meta (and, in fact, can't even log into meta) to know that the rename was imminent. The criteria being made available wasn't really all that available. When an account has been on the brink of usurpation in the past, a notice would be put on the target account's talkpage while there was still an opportunity to do something about it. With this, no notice was given until it was too late. I did what I could immediately after direct notice was given, and I am hoping that I am doing sufficient to warrant the "override on a case-by-case basis." 65.121.182.3 16:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
