Erikjb → iacas

[edit]

Status:     Done

Erikjb (talk) 19:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I signed up for a Wikipedia account as "iacas" a looooooong time ago when Wikipedia didn't have email addresses (or I didn't put one). As such, "iacas" is my account and I'm basically attempting to recover it, but with a valid email address this time and a password I can properly save and store somewhere so I won't forget it as I have now. I use the username "iacas" in quite a few places so I'm hopeful to be able to "usurp" my own account. Thank you.

JKtemp → Jankok

[edit]

Status:     Done

JKtemp (talk) 21:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC) I created the Jankok account several years ago, apparently never used it for any edits, forgot the password, attempted to reset the password about a year ago (but the original email account that I used was long gone), and now I want to create a new account "Jan Kok" but that is too similar to the old account. May I please usurp the Jankok account but have the JKtemp account renamed to "Jan Kok" rather than Jankok? Thanks.[reply]

No need to usurp, then rename, shouldn't we just go straight to the rename? The account is unused so even if we weren't willing to take your word for it, you would've been able to get Jan Kok at WP:ACC anyway. –xenotalk 15:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done I've gone ahead and renamed you to "Jan Kok". If you still want to USURP the Jankok account as doppelganger, please create another temporary account and then let me know. –xenotalk 20:28, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Joequincy2010 → Joe Quincy

[edit]

Status:     In progress

Joequincy2010 (talk) 00:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC) I use the username "joequincy" elsewhere on the internet (pretty much everywhere I have an account, in fact). I would like to be able to use that username here as well, but am prevented from doing so because the username "Joe Quincy" already exists, and is too similar. Since that user has zero contributions, I would like to Usurp the name, and then change to "joequincy". If it is possible to do that in one step, I would greatly appreciate it.[reply]

RN → Ryan Norton

[edit]

Status:     Done

RN 09:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC) The story goes that I probably created this account before RN, lost my password, then the obvious happened. I asked for it years ago, the technology just wasn't there. The reasoning is I'm an old-school wiki editor and prefer to use my real name when editing. This also has an added bonus of conflicting with the other language wikiprojects less.[reply]

Of course, I hinted at it in the introduction. Everyone has thier own opinions on the matter, but I've wanted this change for years; if people really wanted to track me down in real life they could do it just as easily with the RN moniker. Besides, I've edited other "popular" wikis before wikipedia came to life using my real name. If I get more harrassment, then so be it I suppose - being an administrator on deletion and vandalism patrol years ago I'm quite used to it, really. RN 13:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of note, I recently got my meta username changed on meta, where I was also previously a admin, so this is the only other substantial account that needs to be moved. The user pages have also redirected to my pages for nearly 5 years. RN 18:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would like to be renamed to User:La_comadreja. Is it necessary for the existing Username Lacomadreja to be vacated? Unless it is, I am ok with this other person keeping his old username. Also, what happens to my Wikiversity custodianship and my old Username when my name is transferred?

Jess151 → Jess

Jess151 (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC) I am a new alternate account of User:Mann_jess. My signature is (and has been for some time) "Jess" since it is both my name and easier to deal with than the longer version. I would like to usurp this account as a doppelganger, and to manage an alternate watchlist (mine is getting rather long and specialized, and I would like to contribute to alternate areas, which is becoming unweildy). If there's anything other information you need, please let me know on either account. Thank you! Jess151 (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • No SUL, but the name is widely registered (albeit lightly-used) on other projects. I'd have less reservations if you were planning to use it as a primary name. –xenotalk 20:28, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm planning to usurp on other projects as well, but as this is my primary wiki, I figured I'd start here. Come to think of it, if I can get a unified login with "Jess", I actually would like to use it primarily. (Though I do want to keep this account since it's my handle throughout the web.) I'll start usurpation requests interwiki later on today. Thanks 13:42, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
It will be a long process but it doesn't look impossible to fully unify as none of the other-language accounts have more than five edits. Probably best to start with the most-recently created Jess'es to see the lie of the ball. –xenotalk 14:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I won't immediately abandon Mann_jess until I've established a SUL, but yes. That is the plan. 13:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

No rush, but is this being done, or are there roadblocks in the process I'm unaware of? I just want to make sure there's nothing I should be doing or saying which is holding anything up. Thanks!

21:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


Well we could perform the rename now, but are you then planning to then usurp yourself when you switch over to "Jess" globally? That's OK, I guess but I thought maybe you were going to try and establish the SUL foothold to do it in one fell swoop. Either way is fine. –xenotalk 13:55, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about the belated reply. I didn't see this response earlier. Yes, I'd prefer to do it now. I'll either start building up contribs on that username and just leave it be, or do another (easier) usurp between the two after the SUL comes through; Since I want to keep both usernames around, either option seems fine. If there's anything else you need from me, let me know. Thanks so much for your time on this xeno! :) 01:16, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes I am, but aren't you meant to create the SUL from your main Wiki? Which in my case would be this Wikipedia? -- Jack•?! 18:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think the "home wiki" will gravitate to whatever wiki has the most edits. Not sure though. You don't necessarily have to unify right now.
You are right in that acquiring Jack on a global scale will be quite difficult, the it., fr., and fi., Jacks are active and have many contribs.
This request looks fine to proceed after the hold period. –xenotalk 19:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it makes your home wiki whichever has the most edits (in my case, Wikipedia.en). If this usurpation goes through, I would like my home wiki to be Wikipedia.en, and so I cannot yet make it my home wiki, so I think it would be best I wait and see if this goes through. -- Jack•?! 19:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, my thought was that since all the Bydand accounts have no edits at the moment, you could make one edit at either wikt:User:Bydand or meta:User:Bydand making temporarily the home wiki allowing you to create the SUL and unify those two accounts. This would increase your elegibility for the enwiki account usurpation. Then, after the usurpation, you could join the enwiki account to the SUL and since it has the most edits of the SUL accounts, it would become the home wiki. Hope this helps. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 298° 55' 15" NET 19:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, now that you own commons:User:Bydand and it has the most edits, you can just create the SUL with this account with out the one edit to the other accounts. However, as xeno wisely says above, it's not a necessity. It just prevents other editors from creating Bydand accounts on other wikis and creating the SUL account before you, preventing you from gaining SUL all together. Also, the sysop flag take priority over edit count in home wiki choice. Hope this helps. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 299° 55' 30" NET 19:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see. I've done that now, Commons is now my home wiki.[1] I can make this my home wiki if this usurpation goes through, right? Thanks for the help guys. -- Jack•?! 20:22, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think it'll automatically gravitate to the highest-edited wiki; if not you can have a steward delete the global account and re-unify. –xenotalk 20:26, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks guys. Is it really important which wiki is my 'home' wiki? What is different between this being my home wiki and commons being it? -- Jack•?! 23:10, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The no.wikt editors has the claim to the SUL, so it's really their agreement that is needed. Are you sure you want this rename? As I understand it, one day SUL will become mandatory - i.e. it will be impossible for more than one editor to have the same name across Wikimedia projects. I don't know what the timescale is for that, but that's the goal of the SUL process. If you only have the name on enwiki with the assent of User:K on jawiki and nowikt, you will presumably have to abandon the name and be renamed to something else if it becomes impossible to have multiple users with the same name. We simply cannot guarantee that you will be able to remain User:K on enwiki forever. WJBscribe (talk) 11:06, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WJBscribe, I'm reluctant to speculate whether SULs will ultimately actually become an expectation rather than merely a convenient option, but certainly understand why very active users who operate across wikis would prefer an SUL and why there might be occasional conflicts. I seek no guarantees of exclusivity or permanence. If the SUL trend you describe actually becomes the norm in the future, I can readily accommodate the possibility that another very active user who starts in another language might credibly seek to claim an SUL for this username across all wikis including the English ones. If this happens, I can readily accommodate that user. This username doesn't seem at all likely to be headed in that direction, or I wouldn't have filed the request.
As to whose explicit, affirmative permission is needed, the information I'm getting now is different from that presented earlier, so I think it's understandable if I'm now slightly confused about the decisionmaking criteria. User:K in Norwegian Wiktionary appears to have contributed moderately from 2005 through 2008, has not contributed to Norwegian Wikipedia (at least not under this username), does not appear to have email enabled, and has been dormant for two years. Following Xeno's instructions here, I left a note about this request on the no.wikt user's talk page here, to which there has been no response to date. ... Kenosis (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, it would be preferred if both users were OK with it: no.wikt currently has the best claim, the ja.wiki user would eventually have the best claim if they continued editing (and we should probably not forget pl:user:K wikt:pl:User:K either). I'm not sure if we have any guidelines or precedents to follow when considering allowing folks here to take over SUL claims when the sister project user is dormant. –xenotalk 14:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Xeno, I do not seek to take over an SUL claim across all Wikimedia projects. I merely wish to use this username on en.wiki. Maybe, and this is very-very speculative, I might seek at some point in the future to take this username in one or more other en projects, but if and only if they are completely, demonstratively dormant for a very long period of time. I don't do enough at Commons and other .en projects to justify even anticipating the need for seeking an SUL for all Wikimedia projects (perhaps this aspect of SULs will change with time too)--and I'm certain I'm not at all unusual in this respect.
..... I've left a note on the Polish user's page, who is was apparently active only in Polish Wiktionary, here here, using both English and an automatic translation into Polish. Since the Polish user is currently active, it might be reasonable to expect a response.This user, with 108 total edits, unfortunately hasn't been active since 9 January 2009. As to the dormant .no.wikt account, at what stage might we accept that user simply will not respond and just "call it a day" on waiting for one? Is there a yet-established norm for dealing with that aspect? ... Kenosis (talk) 03:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you rename your current account to K you'll be sliding into the claim over the SUL because of your edit count, whether you unify or not. As far as any kind of established norm, WJBscribe would probably be in the best position to comment on that. I'll defer to my learned colleagues on this one. –xenotalk 03:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Having more thoroughly reviewed the global contributions page, I don't see significant potential for anyone ultimately having an SUL under this username, as too many different users appear to have taken this name in other Wikimedia projects. Which is where it gets confusing as to "sliding over". There is no maneuvering here to ultimately take over others' usernames in other projects. As I said, I merely seek to use it in English Wikipedia. If this is an established basis for denying my request, someone please say so. ... Kenosis (talk) 17:00, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Whoever has the highest edit count is able to create an SUL under the name (having an SUL does not necessarily mean it's universally held). If we were to rename your account to K, you would slide into that position. See Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 11#Effect of SUL on certain rename requests for more. As I said, I'll defer to my more experienced colleagues on this but typically requests like this have been denied. An exception may be possible in that the other users with the name are inactive, or have given their blessing. –xenotalk 17:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Xeno, thanks for the link to the relevant discussion. I now understand a little better. It appears to me w.r.t. WJBscribe's point #1 in that discussion that this request might be a reasonable one.

*The ja.wiki user, the only one on the global contributions page that is presently active, has given explicit permission here.
*The no.wiktionary account, with 522 total edits hasn't been used for two years, since 13 August 2008, and hasn't responded.
*The pl.wiktionary account put in 108 edits total, almost all of them logged in a single eight-day stretch in August 2008, then about a dozen edits over the course of the next six months, and then hasn't edited at all for over a year-and-a-half, since 9 January 2009. I dare say we've seen this pattern many times on English Wikipedia too--it's generally indicative of someone who gave it a try for awhile and simply stopped editing. The inactive pl.wikt user seems quite unlikely to respond.

Seems to me fairly straightforward, were there not a general fear of hurting cross-wiki relations by allowing "sliding over" a high edit count into a newer potential SUL claim. Having reviewed the global contributions a bit more thoroughly, though, this request doesn't seem to me to genuinely threaten any user's existing position. It's virtually a completely abandoned username, with the only other currently active user (ja.wiki) having already given explicit permission to go ahead. ... Kenosis (talk) 19:58, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And incidentally, both of WJBscribe's initial points in the above-linked noticeboard section are well taken, as is the discussion that followed. So I willingly accept whatever decision that participating bureaucrat(s) may choose to make. Though it would be nice to have this request fulfilled, quite obviously it's not a major thing. ... Kenosis (talk) 20:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Since WJBscribe basically "wrote the book" on this, I pinged him for his thoughts. –xenotalk 20:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just passing by, I thought I'd give my thoughts. It seems Kenosis has no pressing need to be renamed to K, so I see little reason to create a new SUL conflict. The stance I've taken in past is that renames of this type should be allowed only when users on other projects have very few edits and have been inactive for an extended period (this case meets only the latter criterion). As we see in the discussion WJBscribe linked above, this is the position most other bureaucrats adopted in mid-2008. Two years later, it might be time that the issue is raised again, in order that a common practice be reformed (and that lengthy dialogues such as this are not necessary). —Anonymous DissidentTalk 15:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
TBH, I'm a bit taken aback by this speculative notion of "new SUL conflict". I just showed that the only active user has given explicit permission. The rest are quite clearly long abandoned or have never been used. ... Kenosis (talk) 19:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done Given that the inactive users are inactive since over two years now, and the active user gave their blessing, I've granted this request. I agree with Anonymous Dissident that it would be worthwhile to revisit our stance on this to be able to give firmer direction in the future rather than having to re-invent the wheel every time a request like this is filed. –xenotalk 14:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To Xeno, Anonymous Dissident and WJBscribe, my good wishes to all participating 'crats in your discussion relating to developing future guidelines to better reconcile any current tensions that bureaucrats encounter among the issues presented above. Whatever the direction and results of that discussion, you at least have my firm assurance I will not proceed in such a way as to serve as an example for why discretionary requests in circumstances similar to this shouldn't be granted in the future. So, thank you. To ja.wiki User:K, thank you (ありがとう) for your permission to use it in English. ... Kenosis (talk) 03:36, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't many one letter usernames left, anyway ... just E (talk · contribs), P (talk · contribs), and X (talk · contribs) have no edits on the English Wikipedia, but E was previously in use and would cause confusion if reassigned now, and X and P belong to users with high edit counts elsewhere. I think there are probably nearly no easily usurpable one-letter usernames left. —Soap— 00:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RDenttemp → Russell_Dent

[edit]

Status:     Done

RDenttemp (talk) 20:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC) Russell_Dent is my old account, I wish to change this account name to my old account name because it is my real name.[reply]

We've been talking with Russell in the IRC help channel; since the target account is his own, notification or the usual delay shouldn't be necessary. Hersfold (t/a/c) 20:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Did they lost the password? If not, log in to the target account and edit here certifying the request. If they have, then this will be processed after a brief hold. I assume they've been directed to the relevant fair warning regarding using their real name? –xenotalk 13:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I don't have the password for my target account, Russell_Dent and I no longer have access to the e-mail address I used when registering it (in 2004). I would prefer to have an account under my real name if possible. I did try making a new account called RussellDent but it was not allowed due to it being too similiar to Russell_Dent, which I fully understand. I have read and understood the using their real name page. I am a long time user of the Internet and harassment doesn't concern me, although I will try to avoid getting involved in sensitive or controversial issues out of respect for other people.

NakiBest → Naki

NakiBest (talk) 21:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC) My usual nickname I use most is Naki, but it seems to be taken. Yet, there are no contributions or edits made with it. I live in Bulgaria, in the Bulgarian Wikipedia I use the Naki user name.[reply]

Hello! I am sorry, what is the home wiki? Is it in the Bulgarian wikipedia, or is it here in the English one? Also, what tags do I add to my Talk page? Thanks! NakiBest (talk) 19:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While logged in to bg:User:Naki write something on your bg:user talk:Naki that you certify this request ("Yes I am NakiBest and have requested rename to Naki on en.wiki" or somesuch). You should also go to special:MergeAccount (again, on bg.wiki) to create a global SUL which makes it easier to expedite this request. –xenotalk 19:13, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I think I have done it. Let me know if it is OK, or not. NakiBest (talk) 19:25, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's great. This will be processed after a brief hold. –xenotalk 19:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Status:     Done

Esther Clementina talk 09:01, 2 September 2010 (UTC) <-Note: I don't really need this name on any other language wikipedias. It would be fine if I'm able to usurp this account only here. :) Cordially, Esther Clementina talk 09:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, but I am simple:User:Clementina. :) If it helps, I've confirmed it with my account there. Cordially, Esther Clementina talk 00:25, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would've helped if I'd actually read your request, eh? =) –xenotalk 13:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Xeno. :) Now my wikilife will be so much easier. Clementina talk 01:33, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cornovia (talk) 23:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simply log in to the Vibracobra23 account and make an edit here confirming ownership. It can't be deleted, so pick a target name for it... It could be Vibracobra23 (renamed) or Vibracobra22 if you like. –xenotalk 12:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmation that Vibracobra23 account is the same person as Cornovia account, but has no edits. Name change Vibracobra23 to Nonsuch69 and then Cornovia to Vibracobra23 requested. Change of username already accepted and completed on WikimediaCommons. Thanks xeno. Vibracobra23 (talk) 20:08, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks xeno, very much appreciated. Vibracobra23 (talk) 20:14, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
